Propranolol for brain blood-vessel tumors in VHL
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies whether propranolol, a beta-blocker medicine, can help people with VHL who have non-urgent hemangioblastomas in the brain/spinal cord. It aims to see if the medication is safe and beneficial without needing immediate surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You have VHL and at least one brain or spinal hemangioblastoma that does not need urgent surgery within 3 months
- You can give written consent to join the study
- You are covered by a social security plan
- You are NOT already taking propranolol or another beta-blocker (like metoprolol)

This study follows children with Von Hippel-Lindau disease to understand how hemangioblastomas in the brain and spine grow over time. It looks for patterns that might predict future problems, so doctors can plan better care.
This trial tests the drug belzutifan (a pill taken by mouth) in people with VHL syndrome who have kidney or other VHL-related tumors that are growing or can be measured. The study looks at how well belzutifan works in real-world conditions and whether certain genetic factors affect how the drug works.
This trial tests different starting doses of oral propranolol to see which works best and is safest for treating infantile hemangiomas that have ulcers (sores). It may help your child heal faster.
This study tests whether a heart medication called propranolol, given intravenously (through an IV), can prevent serious infections in patients who have had bleeding in the brain. You would receive this treatment within 24 hours of your stroke symptoms starting.
This trial tests if taking a medicine called propranolol around the time of surgery can improve outcomes for people with stomach or colon cancer that can be removed with an operation. Propranolol is a type of drug that blocks certain stress signals in the body and may help with recovery.
This trial tests if adding propranolol (a beta-blocker usually used for high blood pressure) to your current epilepsy medicines can help control focal seizures that last a minute or longer and affect awareness. It's for people aged 18-60 whose seizures haven't been controlled by at least two other seizure medicines.
