Identifying Findings on Brain Scans That Could Help Make Better Predictions About Brain Cancer Progression, The GABLE Trial
United States100 participantsStarted 2024-04-11
Plain-language summary
This phase II trial studies whether different imaging techniques can provide additional and more accurate information than the usual approach for assessing the activity of tumors in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The usual approach for this currently is magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This study is trying to learn more about the meaning of changes in MRI scans after treatment, as while the appearance of some of these changes may reflect progressing tumor, some may be due the treatment. Dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC)-MRIs, along with positron emission tomography (PET) and/or magnetic resonance (MR) spectroscopy, may help doctors tell which changes are a reflection of the treatment and which changes may be due to progressing tumor.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age.
* Patient must have a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60%.
* Patient must have newly diagnosed GBM (must be IDH wild type), with pathologic proof, based on World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 criteria.
* Patient must be planning to receive standard-of-care treatment for newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
* Patient must have completed an MRI prior to the diagnostic surgery for GBM and have images available for upload into Transfer of Images and Data (TRIAD).
* Patient must have diagnostic surgery for GBM within 7 weeks prior to registration.
* Patient must have O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status ordered at time of registration.
* Patient must have a post-operative (op) MRI completed within 3 weeks after diagnostic surgery for GBM and have images available for upload into TRIAD.
* Patient must have no contraindications to MRI, including injection of gadolinium-based contrast agents, and demonstrated ability to tolerate MRI on pre-surgical imaging.
* Patient must have no allergies to agents that may potentially be used for non-standard of care imaging (18F-fluciclovine, MR contrast).
* Patient must not be pregnant or breast-feeding due to the potential harm to an unborn fetus and possible risk for adverse events in nursing infants with the interventions being used.
* All patients of childbearing potential must have a blood test or urine study within 14 days prior to registration to rule out pre…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
