A listing of meningiomas medical research trials actively recruiting patient volunteers. Search for closest city to find more detailed information on a research study in your area.
Meningiomas, which account for about 40% of primary central nervous system tumors, have significant psychological and social impacts, even without treatment. Their effect on quality of life is often underestimated and poorly documented. There is one validated questionnaire (MQOL) but it has not yet been translated into French. The project …
In neurosurgery both the diffusely infiltrated gliomas of the brain as well as the border towards healthy tissue in the meninges is a challenge. For the high-grade contrast enhanced gliomas fluorescent drugs like Gliolan have been used in several years and proved its clinical value. For non-contrast enhanced gliomas, like …
This Phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of autologous tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) therapy combined with Pembrolizumab (Keytruda) immunotherapy in patients with Advanced Brain Cancer including Gliomas and Meningiomas . Lifileucel (Amtagvi), the first FDA-approved TIL therapy, has demonstrated significant success in treating unresectable or metastatic melanoma by utilizing …
The objective of this clinical trial is to explore the effects of Salovum®, an egg yolk powder enriched with the endogenous protein antisecretory factor, and SPC® flakes , hydrothermically processed oats, on cerebral edema with clinical symptoms in participants with brain tumors. The primary questions the trial seeks to answer …
This phase II trial tests the effect of decreasing (tapering) doses of dexamethasone on steroid side effects in patients after surgery to remove (craniotomy) a brain tumor. Steroids are the gold standard post-surgery treatment to reduce swelling (edema) at the surgical site to reduce neurological symptoms. Although, corticosteroids reduce edema, …
Patients scheduled for neurovascular interventions may be eligible to have their procedure done robotically.
This phase II trial studies how well lutathera works in treating patients with meningioma that cannot be treated with surgery (inoperable) and is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive) after external beam radiation therapy. Lutathera is a radioactive drug administered in the vein that is designed to target and kill …
In this proposal, the investigators introduce a novel, translational study to prospectively examine primary brain tumor patients undergoing fractionated radiation therapy to the brain. Quantitative neuroimaging, radiation dose information, and directed neurocognitive testing will be acquired through this study to improve understanding of cognitive changes associated with radiation dosage to …
The purpose of this study is to compare two commonly used methods of closing the skin after surgery for an intracranial tumor. Skin closure is one of the most important steps in neurosurgical procedures, as it has a major influence on how well the wound heals. In patients with brain …
In this study, the research team will investigate the incidence and etiology of olfactory dysfunction following endoscopic endonasal skull base surgery, by combining clinical assessments with histomolecular analysis.
