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 study tests a special imaging device (GLOW400) used during brain surgery for high-grade glioma. The device works with a fluorescent dye (5-ALA) to help the surgeon see the tumor more clearly, which may improve removal of the tumor while protecting healthy brain tissue.
This study looks at how your immune system reacts to brain tumor surgery and standard treatment, using a special dye to help the surgeon see the tumor better. It aims to find out if this approach can improve outcomes for people with glioblastoma.
This trial tests a dye that makes brain tumor tissue glow under a special light during surgery, helping the surgeon see and remove more of the tumor while sparing healthy brain. It is for people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) who are scheduled for their first surgery to remove the tumor.
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.
