Nivolumab dye imaging in high grade glioma surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
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 that needs surgery
- You are scheduled for surgery to remove the tumor
- Your blood counts, liver, and kidney function are within certain ranges
- You do not have an active autoimmune disease or a history of one, with some exceptions like controlled thyroid or skin conditions

This study tests a special dye (panitumumab-IRDye800) that helps surgeons see brain lesions more clearly during surgery. The dye attaches to a protein on cancer cells and lights up under a special camera, which may help remove more tumor safely.
This trial is testing a new immunotherapy (nivolumab) for children, teens, and young adults with a specific type of aggressive brain tumor (glioblastoma that has a DNA repair problem). It aims to see if giving this treatment early, right after surgery, can help the immune system fight the tumor.
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 trial tests a combination of two immunotherapy drugs (relatlimab and nivolumab) for newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas and brainstem tumors that have specific genetic mutations. The goal is to see if this treatment approach can help your immune system fight the cancer.
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.
This trial tests a technique called fluorescence-enhanced surgery to help surgeons see and remove high-grade gliomas more clearly. It uses a special dye (5-ALA) that makes tumor cells glow during surgery.
