Intraoperative Fluorescence-Guided Aspirate Tissue Monitoring of 5-ALA During Brain Tumor Surgery
Gliomas are tumors that occur in all ages; they include the most common malign primary central nervous system tumors in developed countries. Gliomas are often aggressive, and their recommended treatment is surgical resection and chemoradiation. Complete tumor removal is challenging because of diffuse cell growth and the proximity of functionally …
Panitumumab-IRDye800 to Detect Pediatric Neoplasms During Neurosurgical Procedures
The objective of the study is to assess safety of panitumumab-IRDye800 in pediatric patients undergoing brain surgery to remove suspected tumors.
Biological Collection of Brain Tumors
The objective of this study is to build a collection of biological samples from patients with brain tumors.
C-SMART vs BE Well for Patients With Brain Tumors
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the acceptability and feasibility of Cognitive Strategies, Mindfulness, and Rehabilitation Therapy (C-SMART) and Brain health Education and Wellness (BE Well) in adults with brain tumors and their caregivers. Participants will be assigned to one of the two groups: Cognitive Strategies, …
The Effects of Intraoperative Tranexamic Acid on Perioperative Bleeding In Craniotomies
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effect of a drug called tranexamic acid (TXA) on reducing blood loss in participants undergoing surgery to remove brain tumors. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does TXA 20 mg/kg IV bolus of TXA, and 1 mg/kg/hr infusion …
Super-selective Intra-arterial Repeated Infusion of Cetuximab for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
Primary brain cancer kills up to 10,000 Americans a year. These brain tumors are typically treated by surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy, either individually or in combination. Present therapies are inadequate, as evidenced by the low 5-year survival rate for brain cancer patients, with median survival at approximately 12 months. …
Electrocorticography in Mapping Functional Brain Areas During Surgery in Patients With Brain Tumors
This pilot clinical trial studies how well electrocorticography works in mapping functional brain areas during surgery in patients with brain tumors. Using a larger than the standard mapping grid currently used during brain tumor surgery or a high-definition grid for electrocorticogram brain mapping may help doctors to better identify which …
The SAFE-Trial: Awake Craniotomy Versus Surgery Under General Anesthesia for Glioblastoma Patients.
The trial is designed as a multicenter randomized controlled study. 246 patients with presumed Glioblastoma Multiforme in eloquent areas on diagnostic MRI will be selected by the neurosurgeons according the eligibility criteria (see under). After written informed consent is obtained, the patient will be randomized for an awake craniotomy (AC) …
Ruxolitinib With Radiation and Temozolomide Compared to Radiation and Temozolomide for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
The purpose of this research is to test the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug ruxolitinib when it is combined with standard of care treatment (radiation therapy and temozolomide) for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Half the people in the study will be assigned to take the study …
Post-Operative Dosing of Dexamethasone in Patients With Brain Tumors After a Craniotomy, PODS Trial
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, …
