Study population: Adult patients with newly diagnosed resectable glioblastoma undergoing fluorescence-guided resection and chemoradiotherapy according to the STUPP protocol. The study includes a prospective control cohort treated with fluorescence-guided resection and chemoradiotherapy only (i.e., without photodynamic therapy (PDT)) and a historical prospective cohort previously treated with intraoperative PDT (INDYGO and DOSINDYGO trials) combined with fluorescence-guided resection and chemoradiotherapy. All patients receive standard post-operative Stupp protocol. Peripheral blood samples are analyzed for systemic immune profiling.

About this study
The immune system plays a critical role in cancer progression and antitumor responses. Glioblastoma is an aggressive and incurable brain tumor characterized by a highly immunosuppressive microenvironment. Over the past two decades, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been evaluated as an adjunct to fluorescent-guided resection (FGR) and chemoradiotherapy according to the STUPP protocol, for resectable glioblastomas. In addition to demonstrating the feasibility of such a procedure, two previous clinical trials (INDYGO, NCT03048240; DOSINDYGO, NCT04391062) revealed/highlighted significant systemic immune changes following treatment, including modifications in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) activation and cytokine secretion profiles. However, the specific contribution of PDT remains uncertain due to the combined effects of, on the one hand, PDT and, on the other hand, FGR and chemoradiotherapy. This study aims to evaluate immune parameters in a control population undergoing FGR and chemoradiotherapy only (i.e., without PDT). The objective is to distinguish the immunological impact of PDT from that of FGR and chemoradiotherapy. The results will provide a better understanding of the systemic immune modulation induced by PDT in glioblastoma.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Fluorescence-guided resection (FGR)Procedure or surgery
Patients undergo fluorescence-guided resection for glioblastoma. Post-operative management includes standard radiochemotherapy according to the STUPP protocol. Peripheral blood samples are collected longitudinally for immunological analyses (PBMCs, immune activation markers, cytokine profiling). This group serves as a matched control cohort for patients in the INDYGO and DOSINDYGO trials who received PDT in addition to FGR and chemoradiotherapy.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Control No PDT | 17 patients with resectable glioblastoma undergoing FGR and chemoradiotherapy only (i.e., without PDT). These patients are matched 1:1 by age and sex with patients from the completed INDYGO (NCT03048240) and DOSINDYGO (NCT04391062) trials who underwent immunological analysis (6 INDYGO patients and 11 DOSINDYGO patients). Receives: Procedure: Fluorescence-guided resection (FGR) |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Evolution of systemic immune response over 6 months following fluorescence-guided resection and during chemoradiotherapy
Systemic immune response will be assessed by longitudinal changes in the proportion of circulating immune cell subsets quantified by flow cytometry and by cytokine concentrations measured through secretome analysis. All measurements will be analyzed as variations relative to a pre-operative baseline to evaluate immune modulation following resection and during chemoradiotherapy.
Measured: From baseline (pre-surgery) to 6 months post-surgery
Secondary outcomes (2)
Evolution of immune cells transcriptomic profile
Changes in exosome-induced immune cell proliferation are assessed in peripheral blood samples. The immunomodulatory effects of circulating exosomes are evaluated through their capacity to induce proliferation of immune cells over time following surgical resection and during chemoradiotherapy.
Measured: From baseline (pre-surgery) to 6 months post-surgery
