Testing a dye to help see brain tumors during surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study is testing whether a special dye called 5-ALA can help doctors see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. You may be able to join if you are scheduled for surgery to remove a suspected high-grade glioma.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a suspected high-grade glioma based on MRI scans.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- You will receive the dye 5-ALA during surgery to help see the tumor.
- You have not had any prior treatment for this brain tumor (such as surgery, chemo, or radiation).
- You are able to have MRI scans and understand the study requirements.

This study tests a new dye called SBK2-ICG that helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery. The dye is given before surgery and may help your doctor remove more of the tumor safely.
This study tests a special imaging device used during brain tumor removal surgery. The device uses a fluorescent dye to help the surgeon see high-grade glioma (a type of brain tumor) more clearly. It aims to collect data on the device's performance and safety.
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 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 trial tests if a special dye attached to the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can help surgeons see tumor cells during surgery for high grade glioma. You may join if you are scheduled for surgery and your organs are working well.
This study tests whether a special dye called 5-ALA can help surgeons see tumor tissue more clearly during brain tumor surgery. If you are having surgery for a high-grade glioma or another brain tumor, you may be able to join and help improve surgical precision.
