MD Anderson Cancer Center is developing first‑of‑its‑kind RNA‑targeting therapies for glioblastoma (GBM). By focusing on the powerful role of non‑coding RNAs, MD Anderson researchers are exploring a new therapeutic strategy that shows remarkable promise in patient‑derived tumor models and could pave the way for a new class of GBM treatments.

Marking the GBMRO'S first funded research project of 2025, Project Rocket, formally known as Characterizing Glioblastoma Progression, Pseudoprogression, and Radiation Necrosis with Bedside Ultrasound Using Sonolucent Cranial Implants, led by Dr. Randy S. D’Amico, aims to identify key ultrasound markers that reveal whether the tumor is growing, healing, or experiencing other changes.

The Glioblastoma Research Organization's Project Rush is in collaboration with Lenox Hill Hospital’s Department of Neurosurgery’s Brain Tumor Center in New York City. Project Rush was inspired by the passing of Neil Peart a Canadian-American musician, best known as the drummer and lyricist of the rock band, Rush.

Brain tumors are the leading cause of cancer-related death in children. Of all the pediatric brain tumors, high-grade gliomas (HGG) remain the greatest challenge, with few treatment options available and a five-year survival rate of only 10-30 percent. A potential alternative to conventional treatments is to utilize a patient’s own immune system to attack tumor cells—immunotherapy.
