Summary

This trial uses MRI scans to study brain tumor biology in people with glioblastoma that can be surgically removed. It aims to find out which patients will benefit from a drug therapy to treat the cancer.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with new or returning glioblastoma, a type of brain tumor. Participants must have tumors larger than 1.5 mL that can be surgically removed and should not have had radiation therapy within the last three months.
What is being tested?
The study uses MRI scans to understand brain tumor biology in glioblastoma patients eligible for surgery. It aims to find out which patients might benefit from a drug called bevacizumab by analyzing MRI images and biomarkers.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves MRI scans and biospecimen collection rather than testing new drugs, side effects are minimal but may include discomfort during imaging or at the biospecimen collection site.
