Fluorescence-guided brain tumor surgery study
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
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 (a type of brain tumor).
- Your doctor plans to use 5-ALA dye as part of your standard surgery.
- You are able to provide your own consent to participate.
- You are considered a good candidate for surgery by your medical team.

This trial is testing a new way to measure fluorescence in fluid suctioned from the brain during glioma surgery. It may help surgeons better identify tumor tissue.
This early-stage study measures electrical brain activity during brain tumor surgery to see if it can predict tumor return or progression. You may be offered the additional measurements while your surgeon removes a suspected or known high-grade glioma.
This trial tests a special fluorescent dye (FG001) that helps surgeons see and remove high-grade brain tumors more completely during surgery. The dye is injected before surgery and glows under special light, potentially helping surgeons remove more tumor tissue safely.
This study tests whether using special fluorescent dye during brain tumor surgery, combined with chemotherapy and radiation, helps the body's immune system fight glioblastoma (an aggressive brain cancer). Researchers will track immune markers in your blood over time to understand how these treatments work together.
This study tests a method to help surgeons find and remove brain tumors that show up on MRI with contrast dye (often high-grade gliomas and brain metastases). If you newly have one of these tumors, the trial may help improve how completely tumors can be removed while protecting important brain areas.
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.
