This study compares giving focused, high-precision radiation before or after surgery for brain metastases. It aims to see which timing works best to control tumors and improve outcomes.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03823144Recruiting
Imaging small live tumor details during surgery
This study uses a special camera to look at solid tumors from inside the body during an operation. It tests whether “live” tumor imaging (using a medicine called fluorescein) can be safely performed in people with certain solid cancers.
Jacksonville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT03510208RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Uses a dye drug during brain or nerve tumor surgery
This trial tests whether a medicine with a fluorescent dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) helps doctors better see certain tumors during surgery. It may help safer, more complete tumor removal for people with glioblastoma or vestibular schwannoma.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03184038Recruiting
Testing brain function in people with brain metastases after radiosurgery
This study looks at how well your thinking and memory work after treatment with radiosurgery for brain metastases. It may help researchers understand which patients benefit best and how to monitor side effects on brain function.
Sewell, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT02861898RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cetuximab delivered into the brain tumor artery for new glioblastoma
This Phase 1/2 study tests whether giving cetuximab directly into the artery that feeds the brain tumor can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. It aims to target the tumor more precisely while checking safety and early signs of benefit.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02896335RecruitingPhase 2
Palbociclib and pembrolizumab for brain metastases
This study tests two drugs, palbociclib and pembrolizumab, for people whose solid tumors (like breast cancer or melanoma) have spread to the brain. The goal is to see if this combination can shrink or slow the growth of brain tumors that are progressing despite prior treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT02800486RecruitingPhase 2
Targeted antibody plus repeat radiation for recurrent brain tumors
This trial studies giving cetuximab (a targeted antibody) directly into an artery along with repeat radiation to treat certain recurring or treatment-resistant brain tumors. It may help by delivering the drug more directly to tumor areas and testing whether this approach can control the disease after it comes back.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02754544Recruiting
