New imaging test for brain tumor surgery planning
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a new kind of PET scan that uses a special tracer (Zr-89 crefmirlimab berdoxam) to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. If you are scheduled to have your brain tumor removed, this scan may give your surgeon extra information to guide the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have been diagnosed with a brain tumor (including metastatic tumors, gliomas, or meningiomas)
- You are already scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor
- You are able to have an MRI and a PET/CT scan
- Your kidney and liver function are within certain safe ranges

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 Phase 1 study tests a new type of MRI scan using a special “hyperpolarized” imaging agent to help doctors diagnose glioma (a type of brain tumor). It’s mainly focused on whether the scan can safely and clearly show tumor-related information in people who may need treatment.
This study uses special PET and MRI scans to map the activity and oxygen levels of brain tumors (gliomas). The results help doctors plan treatment that is more tailored to each patient.
This trial studies a special PET scan called 18F-DOPA PET/CT to see if it can help doctors better manage brain tumors. It may be used before surgery, for radiation planning, or when MRI results are unclear.
This trial looks at a new imaging method to help doctors see brain tumors more clearly before surgery. It may help remove the tumor more safely and completely.
This trial tests a new imaging tracer that may help doctors see brain tumors (gliomas) more clearly before surgery. It could help guide treatment and is for people scheduled for surgery or biopsy.
