Blood clotting test to predict outcomes after brain tumor surgery
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at a special blood test (called thromboelastography) that checks how well your blood clots. The goal is to see if this test can predict how the surgery goes and whether you might get a blood clot after surgery. If you join, the test will be done before and after your brain surgery, and you will be monitored for any blood clot complications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are going to have surgery (either full removal or a biopsy) for a suspected glial brain tumor.
- You are not taking blood thinners or anti-clotting medications.
- You do not have a known bleeding or clotting disorder (e.g., hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or low platelets).
- Your surgery is not an emergency.
- You do not have long-term epilepsy that is thought to be the cause of your tumor.

This study looks at how well blood thinners work in people with cancer and a recent blood clot. It measures the risk of bleeding by checking certain blood clotting factors.
This trial tests whether a special blood clotting test called thromboelastography can help assess clotting problems after a head injury. It may help doctors better understand bleeding risk and related complications early after trauma.
This study looks at whether a special blood test called TEG can help doctors manage bleeding during major surgeries in children. It may help reduce the need for blood transfusions by guiding treatment more precisely.
This study looks at blood clotting risks in people having surgery for meningioma or glioma brain tumors, and compares them to healthy volunteers. It may help doctors better understand and prevent blood clots after brain tumor surgery.
This study looks at how cancer and surgery affect blood clotting. It may help doctors understand and prevent blood clots in patients having surgery for certain cancers.
This trial checks whether a bedside machine (TEG 6s) can measure blood clotting in children during planned surgery. It may help doctors get faster, more accurate information about clotting during the operation.
