Brain Tumor Surgery with Fluorescent Dye Imaging
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a special fluorescent dye (FG001) that helps surgeons see and remove high-grade brain tumors more completely during surgery. The dye is injected before surgery and glows under special light, potentially helping surgeons remove more tumor tissue safely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Newly diagnosed high-grade brain tumor (glioma) that has never been treated
- Brain tumor is in a location where it can be safely and completely removed
- Tumor is a single lesion (not multiple tumors) confirmed by MRI scan
- Good overall health status (able to perform daily activities with minimal help)
- No allergies to the fluorescent dye or contrast agents used in MRI

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.
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 study tests whether using special fluorescent dye during brain tumor surgery, combined with chemotherapy and radiation, helps the body's immune system fight glioblastoma (an aggressive brain cancer). Researchers will track immune markers in your blood over time to understand how these treatments work together.
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.
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 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.
