Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study is designed to evaluate how the composition of a participant's body, diagnosed with a brain tumor (glioblastoma multiforme) as determined by bioelectrical impedance analysis can predict the progression and outcomes of disease.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The purpose of this study is to monitor the nutritional status of (Glioblastoma Multiforme)GBM patients for one year. We will look at the relationships between phase angle determined by Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), nutrition assessment by Subjective Global Assessment and serum albumin, the type of microbes present in the gut, the participant's DNA information, and tumor progression. We will also compare estimated caloric needs determined by BIA and Harris Benedict Equation to Resting Energy Expenditure from Indirect Calorimetry of the people with GBM and the people without.

Intervention Type OTHER

Anthropometrics, Nutrition assessment, Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis, Blood sample, Resting Energy Expenditure. All will be done 2-3 weeks after initial study visit and will continue every 3 months study visit except the Resting Energy Expenditure which will be performed at only one visit (2-3 weeks after initial visit).
