Studying brain tissue to find new treatments for arteriovenous malformations
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at tissue from brain surgeries to understand a specific cell signaling pathway (called Shh) that may play a role in brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). By studying this, researchers hope to find new ways to treat or prevent these abnormal blood vessel tangles in the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must be having brain surgery to remove a brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM), which is an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain.
- You must agree in writing to allow researchers to use extra tissue from your surgery for this study.
- The tissue must be in good condition — not too damaged or contaminated — and must not contain known infections that could be unsafe to handle.

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 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 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 genetic (inherited DNA) factors in people with certain abnormal blood vessel connections in the brain or spinal cord. It may help researchers understand why these malformations happen and how they might behave over time.
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 research study uses special brain imaging scans to understand how an unruptured arteriovenous malformation (an abnormal tangle of blood vessels in the brain) affects blood flow and thinking abilities before and after surgical treatment. The goal is to learn how surgery impacts brain function and cognition in patients like you.
