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 looks at brain wave recordings taken during awake brain surgery for diffuse glioma. The goal is to better understand and protect important brain functions during tumor removal. If you are already scheduled for awake brain surgery with ECoG monitoring, you may be able to take part.
This study tests a new way to monitor brain activity during surgery to remove brain tumors. It may help doctors better protect important brain functions during the operation.
This study tests whether using brain wave (EEG) monitoring during brain tumor surgery can help protect your thinking and memory. It might help you keep more of your cognitive function after surgery.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with behavioral therapy before surgery can help surgeons remove more of a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) while protecting movement and speech. It may help patients whose tumor is near the part of the brain that controls movement on one side.
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 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.
