Dapagliflozin vs dexamethasone before brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial compares two drugs, dapagliflozin and dexamethasone, given before surgery to people with a type of brain tumor called glioma. The goal is to see which one works better at reducing swelling or other complications, helping you prepare for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 75 years old.
- You have a glioma brain tumor and are scheduled for surgery.
- You do not have diabetes.
- You are taking the seizure medicine levetiracetam.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Your kidney function is normal (eGFR greater than 30).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests a fluorescent dye called FG001 to see if it can help surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. It is for adults with a meningioma or a low-grade glioma who are scheduled to have their tumor removed.
This trial tests the safety of dapagliflozin (a diabetes drug) taken before surgery for stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. It may help understand if this drug can slow tumor growth while waiting for surgery.
This trial tests if a drug called disulfiram (normally used for alcohol abuse) can help reduce immune suppression caused by the tumor and lower the need for steroids in people with a fast-growing brain tumor who are about to have surgery. It aims to see if taking the drug before surgery improves outcomes.
This trial tests how to best use dexamethasone (a steroid) after brain tumor surgery to help recovery and reduce swelling. It looks at different dosing schedules for patients with common brain tumors.
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.
