About this study

Official title: Circulating Tumor Markers for High Grade Glioma

The purpose of this study is to identify and quantify circulating tumor markers, which are associated with the presence of tumors. The current imaging available does not allow specificity of tumor size as it relates to pseudoprogression (a temporary enlargement or "swelling" of the tumor after treatment before it shrinks). Our hope is that CTCs will provide a more accurate description of tumor state for high grade glioma patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. to identify and quantify circulating tumor markers

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stage III and IV Glioma Patients, run by Abramson Cancer Center at Penn Medicine at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

to identify and quantify circulating tumor markers (time frame: 3 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Apr 2020.
