Testing a new device during brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new tool called the CIPHER System during brain surgery for people with a newly diagnosed glioma. It looks at how well the tool works and how safe it is when used during the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a newly diagnosed glioma in the upper part of the brain that needs surgery
- The tumor reaches or is close to the surface of the brain
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are having open brain surgery under total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA)
- You are able to give informed consent and have a good performance status (ECOG 0-2)

This study records brain activity during awake surgery for people with glioma. It aims to better understand how the brain works around the tumor, which may help improve surgical safety.
This trial tests whether using EEG monitoring during surgery can help protect memory, attention, and other thinking skills for people with brain tumors (gliomas). If you are scheduled for brain tumor surgery and can complete simple thinking tests, this study may be an option for you.
This study tests a new device that samples brain fluid during surgery for glioma or epilepsy. It may help researchers understand brain conditions better and is done as part of your regular surgery at Mayo Clinic.
This study tests a combination of brain stimulation and behavioral therapy to help surgeons remove more of a low-grade glioma (a slower-growing brain tumor) that involves the motor area. It may help improve how much tumor can be taken out during surgery while monitoring safety.
This trial tests a combination of brain stimulation (rTMS) and cognitive strategy training to help improve memory and thinking in people with glioma. If you have a stable brain tumor and notice problems with focus or memory, you may be able to join.
This trial tests whether a special brain stimulation technique (nTMS) before surgery can help the brain reorganize around a tumor. It's for people with aggressive brain tumors near movement areas, who still have good strength.
