IPerGlioGEM: Stem Cell Analysis, Omics (Including Immunomics) and Artificial Intelligence in Glioblastoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims at:
-
Perform a multilayer analysis relying on tight integration of in-depth multi-omics approaches with clinical data to discover immune markers, with attention to age and sex differences, predicting prognosis and defining key life/environmental elements, to guide AI-driven personalised treatments and ensure improved care and QoL of glioblastoma patients.
-
To deepen glioblastoma knowledge through the study of glioblastoma stem cell cultures and to assess the sensitivity of glioblastoma stem cell cultures to a number of chemotherapeutics in different experimental conditions.
-
To create a comprehensive, stakeholder-generated guidelines for the ethical use of patient data for artificial intelligence-assisted prediction systems in glioblastoma, including an online, easily accessible patient information brochure to increase patient empowerment in the field.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Identification of immune signatures in glioblastoma predictive of overall survival [36 months]
Immune omic markers, namely the tumor count of the different lymphocyte subtypes and of T-cell receptor subtypes, will be correlated with overall survival.
- identification of lifestyle/environmental signatures predictive of overall survival [36 months]
A questionnaire investigating lifestyle/environmental patients features, including dietary habits, will be developed. Questionnaire data will be correlated with overall survival.
- Cancer stem cell-based chemosensitivity assay [36 months]
Assessment of the in vitro sensitivity of patient-derived cancer stem cells to chemotherapeutics
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
To 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;
-
Be a candidate to neurosurgery for glioblastoma at the Operational Unit of Neurosurgery Fondazione Policlinico Gemelli IRCCS;
-
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 2021 World Health Organization classification.
