Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The goal of this observational study is to identify proteins that can be found in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients with grade IV brain tumors, specifically glioblastomas, and correlate these proteins with progression free survival, overall survival and performance status (functionality). All participants with high probability of glioblastoma will initially be included, final inclusion will be dependent on the definitive histopathological diagnosis of the tumor. The main question is: Can the researchers identify a proteomic profile in CSF from study participants with glioblastoma in association with a longer progression free survival? Participants will undergo the following procedures, that do not deviate from normal standard diagnostic care. 1. Lumbar puncture to obtain CSF. 2. Blood draw. 3. Trans-surgical tissue sample of the brain tumor. Additionally participants will be planned for follow up appointments every 3 months following the first 12 months after the surgical tumor resection.

Arms and outcomes
Arms (1)
- label
- Patients with definitive diagnosis of glioblastoma
- description
- The cohort includes patients with a histopathological diagnosis of glioblastoma, defined by the 2021 guidelines: IDH-Wildtype diffuse and astrocytic glioma in adults \+ microvascular proliferation or necrosis OR + TERT promotor mutation OR + EFGR gene amplification OR + +7/-10 chromosome copy number changes.
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Overall survival
- timeFrame
- Measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, after participant recruitment.
- description
- The length of time the participants are still alive after tumor resection (initial recruitment date), including disease progression.
Secondary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Progression free survival
- timeFrame
- Measured at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, after participant recruitment.
- description
- Progression free survival is defined by the amount of time the patient lives with glioblastoma from the start of treatment (surgical resection) without progression of disease. Progression of disease is defined as follows: an increase in tumor size, or; new cancerous lesiones on imaging, or; a non-measurable increase of malignant disease (eg.: paraneoplastic syndrome).
