Low-dose steroid timing for newly diagnosed brain tumor surgery

This trial looks at using dexamethasone (a steroid medicine) in a more restricted way for people newly diagnosed with likely glioblastoma who are planned for brain surgery. The goal is to see whether limiting steroid use can still control symptoms while reducing steroid exposure.

Dexamethasone for nausea after brain surgery

This trial tests whether a steroid called dexamethasone palmitate can prevent nausea and vomiting after brain surgery. It is for adults having a planned craniotomy under general anesthesia.

Avoiding dexamethasone in brain metastasis surgery

This trial tests whether skipping the steroid dexamethasone around brain tumor surgery is safe and effective for patients with brain metastases. If you have a new brain tumor and a mass elsewhere in your body, you may be able to join.

Steroid avoidance and new drug for brain tumor swelling

This trial tests a drug called azeliragon to see if it can reduce brain swelling after surgery for a high-grade glioma, while avoiding steroids like dexamethasone. If you have a newly diagnosed brain tumor and are scheduled for surgery to remove most of it, this study may offer an alternative to standard steroid treatment.

Steroid comparison for brain tumor swelling during radiation

This study compares two steroid medications to reduce brain swelling caused by cancer that has spread to the brain. You'll receive one of these steroids while undergoing radiation therapy, and researchers will track how well each helps your symptoms.

FPS-ZM1 with or without dexamethasone for brain swelling after glioblastoma surgery

This trial tests a new drug called FPS-ZM1, with or without a steroid (dexamethasone), to see if it helps control brain swelling after surgery for glioblastoma. You will take the study drug before and after your planned surgery, and the study will check how safe and effective it is.
