The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in the surgical resection of glioblastoma (GBM). The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will undergo the following tasks and treatments:
Researchers will compare the group receiving neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy to the control group following the standard Stupp protocol to assess safety and efficacy outcomes.
Objectives: To study the safety (primary) and efficacy (secondary) of neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy in the surgical resection of glioblastoma (GBM). Safety measures include: neurological deficit, radionecrosis (radiological and clinical), edema, headache, wound dehiscence, infection, and cerebrospinal fluid fistula. Efficacy measures include progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), cognitive function (MoCA Scale), and quality of life (EuroQol scales, EORTC QLQ-HN35, FACT-Br, and TWiST). Methods: Pilot safety and efficacy study in 6 patients compared to 6 controls. 2-year follow-up. A data safety monitoring committee will review the data one month after surgery for each of the first three patients to decide whether to stop or continue the study. Stereotactic biopsy will be performed, and if GBM is diagnosed, patients will undergo conformal hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy to the FLAIR hyperintense signal including the contrast-enhancing tumor on T1, with a total dose of 3990 cGy at the margin in 15 fractions of 266 cGy and concurrent temozolomide (TMZ). 5 weeks later, patients will undergo supramarginal resection guided by 5-ALA under intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. 7 days after surgery, maintenance TMZ will be administered for 6 months. The control group will follow standard treatment (Stupp protocol). Data analysis will be performed using non-parametric tests. Samples from successive surgeries will be studied with histology, molecular biology, and cell cultures.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Experimental | Experimental | Stereotactic biopsy will be performed on patients in the experimental group, who will then be discharged. If the histopathological diagnosis is not wildtype IDH non-mutated glioblastoma, the patient will be withdrawn from the study and receive conventional treatment. If wildtype IDH non-mutated glioblastoma is diagnosed, ten days after the biopsy, patients will undergo conformal hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy to the FLAIR hyperintense signal, including the contrast-enhancing tumor on T1, with a total dose of 3990 cGy at the margin in 15 fractions of 266 cGy, one session per day, five days a week, and concurrent temozolomide (TMZ) at 75 mg/m2/day for 7 days/week during the irradiation period (GEINO, 2016). Five weeks later, patients will undergo supramarginal resection guided by 5-ALA under intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring. Starting from 4 weeks post-surgery, TMZ will be administered for 6 months according to the Stupp protocol. |
|
| Stupp Protocol | Other | The Stupp protocol is a standard treatment regimen for glioblastoma, which involves a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy. |

| Quality of life assessed by The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br) | A commonly used instrument measuring general quality of life (QOL) that reflects symptoms or problems associated with brain malignancies across 5 scales. Patients rate all 5 items using a five-point Likert scale ranging from 0 "not at all" to 4 "very much." Overall, higher ratings suggest higher QOL | every 3 months after surgery, for 2 years |
| Cognitive functionality assessed by MONTREAL COGNITIVE ASSESSMENT (MOCA) | It has been shown to be useful at detecting cognitive dysfunction in brain metastases. The test is a one-page, 30-point test that can be administered in 10 minutes. It assesses short-term memory recall (5 points), visuospatial abilities through clock-drawing (3 points) and cube copy (1 point), and orientation (6 points). Executive function is assessed through modified Trail Making Part B (1 point), phonemic fluency (1 point), and verbal abstraction (2 points). A sustained-attention task (1 point), digit span (2 points), and serial calculation (3 points) test attention, concentration, and working memory. And lastly, language is assessed through naming low-familiarity animals (3 points), sentence repetition (2 points), and the fluency task | every 3 months after surgery, for 2 years |
