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 low-grade glioma, no such drug exist. The transition zone towards healthy non-tumor cell infiltrated brain in such low-grade gliomas is extremely difficult but for these patients their prognosis depends on the amount of non-healthy tissue left behind. Also, in benign tumors as meningioma the complete resection including infiltrated meninges is of importance for the cure of the disease. None of the existing fluorescent drug is useful or approved for these tumors.. Hence a medicinal product that will fulfil the criteria for a safe and reliable fluorescent drug to guide the surgery to the boundaries of the infiltration with tumor cells is highly warranted.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT06684795 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |
