Belly fat graft for recurrent brain tumor
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests if a piece of your own belly fat (omentum) placed in the brain during tumor surgery can help fight recurrent glioblastoma. It is for people who are already scheduled for surgery to remove their brain tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have recurrent glioblastoma (a brain tumor that has come back), and your surgeon plans to remove at least 80% of it.
- You are generally healthy enough for surgery (able to care for yourself, life expectancy at least 6 months).
- You have no active infections, uncontrolled other cancers, or conditions that make MRI unsafe.
- You have not had prior abdominal surgery that would make the omentum (a layer of fat in your belly) hard to use for the graft.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a surgical technique that places a tissue flap near a glioblastoma surgery site to help medicines reach the brain more effectively. You might be considered if you are planning major brain tumor surgery and meet specific health, imaging, and lab requirements.
This study uses special PET scans (fluciclovine and FDG) and advanced MRI to create a detailed metabolic profile of glioblastoma. It may help doctors better understand your tumor before 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 aims to improve understanding of glioblastoma (and gliosarcoma) by preserving live, usable brain-tissue samples during brain surgery. If you’re having repeat tumor surgery or your scans suggest these cancers, the study may ask to collect tissue for research.
This study looks at how your immune system reacts to brain tumor surgery and standard treatment, using a special dye to help the surgeon see the tumor better. It aims to find out if this approach can improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma.
This study looks at whether brain scans (MRI, PET/CT) can help predict the genetic makeup of glioblastoma, without needing more tissue samples. If you join, you'll get advanced imaging to better understand your tumor and guide future treatment decisions.
