Clinical Trial: Analysis of Circulating DNA in Blood Samples of Glioma-affected Patients
Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: RECRUITING
Condition: Glioma
Study Type: INTERVENTIONAL
Official Title: Pilot Study of Liquid Biopsy as a Diagnostic Tool for Gliomas by Analyzing Circulating Tumor DNA in Blood Samples, and Its Validation With the Corresponding Tissue Biopsies.
Brief Summary:
The present pilot study aims to investigate a new strategy in the liquid biopsy protocol for the diagnosis of gliomas based on the detection of circulating tumor DNA in the blood of patients with brain lesions compatible with this type of tumor.In order to increase the sensitivity of the technique, the investigators will work with raw blood samples through minimally invasive procedures.The subsequent analysis will be done with digital PCR, due to its low detection limit.The mutational results of each…
