About this trial

This is an interventional basic science trial for Glioblastoma focused on measuring glioma stem-like cells, brain organoids, brain invasion, ciliogenesis

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria: o be enrolled in the study patients must: Have a radiological diagnosis of supratentorial glioblastoma, or Have a radiological diagnosis of first recurrence of a primary supratentorial glioblastoma (for which a formal histopathologic diagnosis of glioblastoma had made at first surgery), according with RANO criteria (Wen, 2010); Be a candidate to neurosurgery for glioblastoma; Be of an age of 18 years or above; Provide written informed consent for participation to the study. Exclusion criteria To be enrolled in the study patients must not: Have not enough pathological material removed at surgery available both for mandatory routine histopathological diagnosis and for the present study, as judged by the Principal Investigator; Have not a definitive pathological diagnosis of a primary supratentorial glioblastoma, according with 2016 WHO classification.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In patients operated for glioblastoma, glioma stem-like cell lines will be obtained from tumor tissue, and IPSCs from skin fibroblasts or PBMCs. Brain organoids will be generated from IPSCs and co-cultured with IPSCs to study brain invasion and ciliogenesis. 3D genome architecture of glioma stem-like cells will be investigated. Gene modulation and pharmacologic strategies to inhibit invasion and restore ciliogenesis will be explored.
