Imaging brain tumors with a special tracer
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You have a brain lesion seen on CT or MRI, and you are scheduled for surgery or biopsy.
- Your kidney function, blood counts, and liver function are within safe limits.
- You have not had chemotherapy in the last 6 months, and you are expected to live at least 6 more months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have no serious allergies or infections.

This study tests a special imaging method to look at brain tumors before surgery. It uses a tracer that may help doctors see tumors more clearly.
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.
This study uses a special imaging agent (called PSMA) that may help doctors see brain tumours more clearly during scans. It aims to find out if this agent can better identify aggressive brain tumours, especially gliomas, before surgery.
This trial uses special imaging to tell the difference between real brain tumor growth and a treatment reaction that looks like a tumor. It may help you and your doctor decide if a biopsy is needed.
This trial tests a new imaging method (68Ga-DOTA-mPNE PET/CT) to see if it can help detect cancers. It's for people who haven't had chemotherapy or radiation yet and will have a biopsy or surgery.
This trial tests whether using a special PET scan (a type of imaging that shows tumor activity) during brain tumor surgery helps doctors remove more of the tumor safely. You would have a high-grade glioma (an aggressive brain cancer) and be scheduled for surgery.
