Guiding device for more precise brain biopsies
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new positioning device that helps doctors take small tissue samples (biopsies) from brain lesions more precisely during surgery. If you have a brain lesion that needs to be removed, this study may help improve accuracy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Must be between 18 and 80 years old.
- You have a brain lesion (abnormal area) that needs to be surgically removed.
- You can safely have an MRI and CT scan.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You are not severely claustrophobic.
- You are able to understand the study and give written consent.

This trial tests a new way to take a tiny tissue sample from a suspected glioblastoma using ultrasound, to improve noninvasive detection. You may be able to get this targeted sample while you’re already planning surgery for tumor removal.
This study checks whether advanced brain MRI images can help doctors choose the best spot to biopsy suspected or proven primary brain tumors. It may help make biopsies safer and more accurate before tissue diagnosis.
This trial uses a brain connectivity map to help surgeons remove brain tumors while protecting areas that control language, movement, and thinking. It may be an option for people whose tumors are near important brain networks.
This study uses a special microscope to study how brain tissues communicate and signal. It will look at brain tissue taken during surgery (from certain tumor or brain disease cases) to better understand brain wiring and improve reading of lab signals.
This trial is testing a new tool called the CIPHER System during brain surgery for people with a newly diagnosed glioma. It looks at how well the tool works and how safe it is when used during the procedure.
This trial uses advanced imaging to help surgeons remove as much of a malignant brain tumor as safely possible. It may be a good fit if you have a new diagnosis of glioblastoma or a certain astrocytoma and are healthy enough for surgery.
