Prospective Evaluation of T-cell Immune Status in Patients With Newly Diagnosed High Grade Gliomas
- Conditions
- High Grade Glioma
- Interventions
- Procedure: Blood collections
- Registration Number
- NCT02041611
- Brief Summary
The primary goal of this study is evaluate T cell immune status and immune reconstitution and the association with specific cytokines in patients with newly diagnosed HGGs undergoing the standard RT/TMZ and adjuvant TMZ.
- Detailed Description
Numbers of T-cell subtypes at six time points in patients with newly diagnosed HGGs undergoing standard RT/TMZ and adjuvant TMZ:
1. Baseline within 2 weeks before initiation of RT/TMZ
2. At the end of RT/TMZ approximately week 6
3. Before adjuvant TMZ approximately week 10
4. After 2 cycle of TMZ approximately week 18
5. After 4 cycle of TMZ approximately week 26
6. Three month after last cycle of TMZ
Secondary Endpoints
1. Changes in serial T cell subtypes and cytokines levels
2. Incidence of lymphopenia related infections
3. Changes in T-cell numbers and subtypes with TMZ administration
4. Overall survival
