Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The immune system plays a critical role in cancer progression and antitumor responses. Glioblastoma is an aggressive and incurable brain tumor characterized by a highly immunosuppressive microenvironment. Over the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been evaluated as an adjunct to fluorescent-guided resection (FGR) and chemoradiotherapy according to the STUPP protocol, for resectable glioblastomas. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of such a procedure, two previous clinical trials (INDYGO, NCT03048240; DOSINDYGO, NCT04391062) revealed/highlighted significant systemic immune changes following treatment, including modifications in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) activation and cytokine secretion profiles. However, the specific contribution of PDT remains uncertain due to the combined effects of, on the one hand, PDT and, on the other hand, FGR and chemoradiotherapy. This study aims to evaluate immune parameters in a control population undergoing FGR and chemoradiotherapy only (i.e., without PDT). The objective is to distinguish the immunological impact of PDT from that of FGR and chemoradiotherapy. The results will provide a better understanding of the systemic immune modulation induced by PDT in glioblastoma.

- Control No PDT
- description
- 17 patients with resectable glioblastoma undergoing FGR and chemoradiotherapy only (i.e., without PDT). These patients are matched 1:1 by age and sex with patients from the completed INDYGO (NCT03048240) and DOSINDYGO (NCT04391062) trials who underwent immunological analysis (6 INDYGO patients and 11 DOSINDYGO patients).
- interventionNames
- Procedure: Fluorescence-guided resection (FGR)
Primary outcomes (1)
- measure
- Evolution of systemic immune response over 6 months following fluorescence-guided resection and during chemoradiotherapy
- timeFrame
- From baseline (pre-surgery) to 6 months post-surgery
- description
- Systemic immune response will be assessed by longitudinal changes in the proportion of circulating immune cell subsets quantified by flow cytometry and by cytokine concentrations measured through secretome analysis. All measurements will be analyzed as variations relative to a pre-operative baseline to evaluate immune modulation following resection and during chemoradiotherapy.
