Brief Title: Repurposed Drugs in Research for Cancer Clinical Trials- Pitavastatin
Official Title: Phase 0 lead-in Trial of Pitavastatin in Primary and Recurrent Glioblastoma Patients
Study ID: NCT05977738
Brief Summary: The goal of this Phase 0 trial is to study if pre-operative oral pitavastatin administration reaches the tumour in patients with primary or a recurrent glioblastoma. The main question\[s\] it aims to answer are: * Does pitavastatin reach a cytotoxic concentration in gadolinium-enhanced tumour tissue after oral administration? * Does pitavastatin achieve a concentration that can synergize with temozolomide in the gadolinium non-enhanced area of the tumour? Participants will receive pitavastatin in differing dosages a week before their elective surgery and blood and tumour samples will be collected.
