Studying a cell signal in brain AVM tissue after surgery
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is studying a cell signal called "Shh" in brain AVMs (a tangle of abnormal blood vessels). If you are having brain surgery to remove an AVM, researchers will use a small piece of leftover tissue to learn more about how AVMs form and grow, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years of age or older
- You are having brain surgery to remove a brain AVM
- You give written permission for leftover tissue from surgery to be used for research
- The removed brain tissue must not have a serious infection or be mostly dead

This study collects medical and imaging information from people with a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM) to understand how different treatments are used in real life. It may help doctors improve future care, even if you are not receiving a new drug in this study.
This study tests if a simple blood test can detect genetic changes in brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). If successful, it may help guide treatment without needing a tissue biopsy.
This study looks at how brain arteriovenous malformations (abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the brain) behave over time, and how different treatment choices affect outcomes. It may help researchers better predict prognosis and guide future care.
This trial uses a blood test to look for genetic mutations in brain arteriovenous malformations (bAVMs). It may help doctors understand these lesions better and guide treatment.
This study is looking at treatment options for people who have an abnormal cluster of blood vessels in the brain (an AVM). It may help participants by offering a structured treatment approach, depending on the AVM type and recent symptoms.
This study looks at people who have both a brain arteriovenous malformation (tangled abnormal blood vessels) and an aneurysm in the same area. The goal is to better understand how these conditions act together and what happens over time. You will not receive any new treatment, but your medical information and follow-up will help doctors learn more.
