Mixed reality guided brain tumor surgery study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to guide brain surgery using a head-mounted mixed reality system, which helps the surgeon see the tumor and surrounding structures. It is for adults with certain brain tumors that have not been treated before.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tumor in the pineal region or brainstem that has not been treated before
- You are between 18 and 70 years old
- You are able to do daily activities on your own (KPS score above 70)
- You have not had radiation therapy for this tumor in the past
- You do not have serious heart disease or other active cancers
- You are willing and able to have an endoscopic surgery (a keyhole operation)

This trial explores whether using a 3D mixed-reality viewer (like special goggles) to plan brain tumor surgery beforehand can help surgeons do a better job. If you are an adult with a brain tumor needing planned surgery and have had a recent MRI or CT scan, you may be able to join.
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 trial uses advanced brain scans to create a detailed map of your brain's wiring before surgery. This helps surgeons remove more tumor safely while protecting important areas that control movement, language, and vision.
This trial tests whether an “AR” (augmented reality) navigation system can help guide doctors during brain tumor or blood-vessel (cerebrovascular) surgery. If the system is accurate, it may help surgeons plan and position tools more safely.
This study tests whether special monitoring during brain surgery can help surgeons remove tumors safely while protecting important brain functions like language and movement.
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.
