Prospective Evaluation of T-cell Immune Status in Patients With Newly Diagnosed High Grade Gliomas

The primary goal of this study is evaluate T cell immune status and immune reconstitution and the association with specific cytokines in patients with newly diagnosed HGGs undergoing the standard RT/TMZ and adjuvant TMZ.

Detailed Description

Numbers of T-cell subtypes at six time points in patients with newly diagnosed HGGs undergoing standard RT/TMZ and adjuvant TMZ:

  1. Baseline within 2 weeks before initiation of RT/TMZ
  2. At the end of RT/TMZ approximately week 6
  3. Before adjuvant TMZ approximately week 10
  4. After 2 cycle of TMZ approximately week 18
  5. After 4 cycle of TMZ approximately week 26
  6. Three month after last cycle of TMZ

Secondary Endpoints

  1. Changes in serial T cell subtypes and cytokines levels
  2. Incidence of lymphopenia related infections
  3. Changes in T-cell numbers and subtypes with TMZ administration
  4. Overall survival
