Study of the GLOW400 device for brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a suspected high-grade glioma (a fast-growing brain tumor) based on scans like MRI or CT.
- You are scheduled for surgery to treat this tumor.
- You are willing to receive a fluorescent dye called 5-ALA before surgery.
- You do not have porphyria (a rare metabolic disorder) or an allergy to 5-ALA or related substances.
- You do not have another serious medical condition that could interfere with surgery recovery.

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 medical device placed during brain surgery to trap tumor cells and make radiation therapy more effective. It is for people with suspected high-grade glioma who are scheduled for surgery and can receive standard treatment afterward.
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 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 the GLOW800 device which uses a special dye (ICG) to help surgeons see blood flow during brain or reconstructive surgery. It aims to confirm the device works as intended.
This trial tests a new headset that helps surgeons see better during certain brain surgeries and reconstructive surgeries. It looks at two types of procedures: one for brain tumors (using a dye called 5-ALA) and one for blood vessel problems in the brain or reconstructive surgery (using a dye called ICG).
