Investigational Imaging Technique During Brain Surgery

NCT05513859 · Status: SUSPENDED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 24

Last updated 2026-04-24

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This early phase I trial tests the safety and reliability of an investigational imaging technique called quantitative oblique back illumination microscopy (qOBM) during brain surgery for detecting brain tumors and brain tumor margins in patients with glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or oligodendroglioma. Surgical margins refer to the edge or border of the tissue removed in cancer surgery. qOBM may be able to assess and reveal brain tumor surgical margins in a more safe and reliable manner.
