Using MRI scans to study brain tumor activity markers
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at MRI scans to find “molecular markers” that may reflect how active a brain tumor is. If you’re having surgery for a primary brain tumor, these scan results may help researchers better understand tumor behavior.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 18 or older
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove or take a sample (biopsy) of a primary brain tumor
- You can sign a consent form (or have consent provided appropriately)
- You can safely receive MRI contrast dye if the scan uses it
- You are not currently getting chemotherapy at the time of the MRI
- You are not pregnant and do not plan pregnancy

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study uses special MRI scans to better “characterize” (study) gliomas, a type of brain tumor, using information from your brain tissue. You may be eligible if you’re an adult with a suspected or confirmed glioma and you already need a biopsy or surgery.
This trial uses a special MRI scan to study the genetics of gliomas (a type of brain tumor). It may help doctors better understand your tumor and choose the right treatment. You can join if you have a suspected or confirmed low- or high-grade glioma that still has a measurable tumor after surgery.
This study looks at how brain tumors look on MRI and what biopsy tissue shows, using samples taken during planned surgery. It may help improve understanding of tumor biology and future treatment planning.
This study uses MRI scans to find higher-risk areas in certain brain and other solid tumors and help plan radiation treatment. It also looks for changes in tumor “metabolites” (chemicals in the tumor) that may relate to how the tumor behaves.
This study looks at whether advanced MRI scans can help predict the type and behavior of adult brain tumors (gliomas). You may be eligible if you have a newly diagnosed glioma and had a special MRI before surgery.
This study uses brain MRI images and tumor tissue to predict the tumor’s molecular (cell-level) features in people with glioma. It may help doctors better understand glioma biology and plan care based on noninvasive imaging plus lab testing.
