Characterization of the Blood-Brain Barrier in High-Grade Glioma Through Immunohistochemical, Transcriptional, Fluorescein and Radiological Analyses

25 juli 2026 bijgewerkt door: Patrick Morris
This prospective study aims to characterize blood brain barrier (BBB) disruption in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme undergoing surgical resection. The study integrates advanced MRI, circulating BBB biomarkers, neurocognitive assessment, and molecular analysis of tumor tissue to investigate relationships between BBB integrity, tumor biology, and neurological function. Participants will undergo serial assessments before surgery, after surgery, and following radiotherapy. Tumor tissue collected during standard-of-care resection will undergo immunohistochemical and transcriptional

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Glioblastoma is characterized by disruption of the blood-brain barrier, which may influence tumor progression, neurological dysfunction, treatment delivery, and clinical outcomes. This study seeks to comprehensively characterize BBB integrity using multimodal approaches.

Participants with newly diagnosed GBM selected for surgical resection will undergo:

  • Clinical and demographic data collection.
  • Neurocognitive assessment using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS) and Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET).
  • High-resolution 3-Tesla MRI with and without gadolinium contrast, including structural and functional imaging sequences.
  • Blood sampling for measurement of biomarkers associated with BBB disruption and neuronal injury, including S100β, GFAP, UCHL1, amyloid beta, phosphorylated tau, and neuron-specific enolase.
  • Collection of tumor tissue during routine surgical resection for immunohistochemical and transcriptional analyses.

Serial evaluations will be performed preoperatively, postoperatively, at 72 hours, at 4 weeks, and 4 weeks following completion of radiotherapy, according to the assessment schedule.

Interventie / Behandeling
Experimenteel: Blood Brain Barrier Characterisation Cohort
Participants with newly diagnosed glioblastoma will undergo a standardized Phase 2 multimodal assessment program designed to characterize blood-brain barrier integrity. Study interventions include serial advanced contrast-enhanced MRI, blood biomarker sampling, neurocognitive assessments, and molecular analysis of tumor tissue obtained during standard of care surgical resection. Assessments will be performed longitudinally at predefined time points before surgery, after surgery, at 72 hours, at 4 weeks, and following completion of radiotherapy to evaluate changes in blood-brain barrier function and their association with clinical, radiological, and molecular outcomes.
Diagnostische toets: Multimodal Blood Brain Barrier Assessment
A standardised multimodal diagnostic assessment designed to characterize blood brain barrier integrity in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The intervention includes advanced contrast enhanced MRI, serial blood sampling for measurement of blood-brain barrier and neuronal injury biomarkers (including S100β, GFAP, UCHL1, amyloid beta, phosphorylated tau, and neuron-specific enolase), neurocognitive assessments, and immunohistochemical and transcriptional analyses of tumor tissue obtained during standard-of-care surgical resection. Assessments are performed longitudinally before surgery, after surgery, at 72 hours, at 4 weeks, and following completion of radiotherapy.

Serial measurement of serum biomarkers associated with blood-brain barrier disruption and neuronal injury, including S100β, GFAP, UCHL1, amyloid beta, phosphorylated tau, and neuron-specific enolase. Biomarker concentrations will be assessed longitudinally to characterize changes in blood-brain barrier integrity in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma undergoing surgical resection and radiotherapy.

Maatregel Beschrijving
Tijdsspanne
MRI Based Measures of Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity
Tijdsspanne: 4 weeks after surgery
Assessment of blood-brain barrier disruption using contrast-enhanced 3-Tesla MRI, including quantitative and qualitative radiological measures of tumour enhancement and permeability. Imaging findings will be evaluated longitudinally and correlated with circulating biomarkers and clinical outcomes.
4 weeks after surgery
Immunohistochemical Characterisation of Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption
Tijdsspanne: During surgical resection (single assessment)
Expression of blood-brain barrier-associated proteins within resected glioblastoma tissue assessed by immunohistochemical analysis. Findings will be used to characterize blood-brain barrier integrity and correlated with circulating biomarker and imaging measures.
During surgical resection (single assessment)
Transcriptional Characterisation of Blood-Brain Barrier Disruption
Tijdsspanne: During surgical resection (single assessment)
Gene expression profiling of resected glioblastoma tissue to identify transcriptional signatures associated with blood-brain barrier disruption and tumour biology. Results will be correlated with blood biomarker and imaging findings.
During surgical resection (single assessment)
Neurocognitive Function Assessed by RBANS
Tijdsspanne: Baseline (within 7 days before surgery), 4 weeks after surgery, and 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy
Neurocognitive performance measured using the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status (RBANS). Changes in cognitive function will be examined in relation to blood-brain barrier integrity and treatment.
