Ultrasound-guided brain treatment for gliomas
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial uses a targeted ultrasound technique to deliver treatment directly to the brain tumor during surgery. It may help improve how well the treatment works for people with glioma, a type of brain tumor.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a glioma, a type of brain tumor.
- You are scheduled to have surgery to remove the tumor.
- You do not have other serious brain or heart conditions.
- You are able to undergo the ultrasound procedure safely.

This trial tests whether using ultrasound during surgery helps doctors remove brain tumors more precisely. It may be an option for people aged 18 to 80 with certain types of brain tumors that can be reached with ultrasound.
This trial tests a new way to take a tiny tissue sample from a suspected glioblastoma using ultrasound, to improve noninvasive detection. You may be able to get this targeted sample while you’re already planning surgery for tumor removal.
This trial tests whether a special ultrasound (LIFU) can open the blood-brain barrier to help an immunotherapy drug (cetuximab) reach glioblastoma tumors better. It is for people with a specific type of glioblastoma that has not been treated yet and that has a certain protein called EGFR.
This trial is testing a new way to find and remove glioblastoma brain tumors using a special MRI scan. It may help doctors remove more of the tumor safely during surgery.
This trial tests if combining focused ultrasound (which opens the blood-brain barrier) with the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can treat relapsed or progressive brainstem gliomas and other high-grade brain tumors in children and young adults.
This study looks at using focused ultrasound to temporarily loosen the brain’s “blood barrier” around certain brain tumors, while people still get standard surgery. It aims to help doctors learn how safe the approach is and collect blood/fluid samples during the operation.
