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.
