-
Adapted Physical Activity for adults with brain tumors
We’re testing whether a supervised adapted physical activity program is feasible for adults with primary brain tumors and what adherence looks like.
-
Decoding Mandarin speech features from brain-surface signals
This project will try to decode imagined Mandarin speech, including lexical tones, from high-density brain-surface (ECoG) signals in adult patients who are having clinically indicated cortical electrode placement.
-
Skin closure after brain tumor surgery: running absorbable versus interrupted non-absorbable sutures
This will test whether absorbable running intradermal sutures or non-absorbable interrupted transdermal sutures produce better wound healing after craniotomy in adults with supratentorial brain tumors.
-
Cerebrospinal fluid leak after brain tumor surgery
This project will look at adults having planned supratentorial craniotomy for intracranial tumors to see how often cerebrospinal fluid leaks occur and what complications they cause.
-
B7-H3 CAR T cells for recurrent brain tumors in kids and young adults
This early-phase trial tests a personalized CAR T-cell therapy called B7-H3 CAR T for children and young adults with recurrent or progressive brain tumors.
-
STRATAFIX sutures for closing cranial and spine surgical wounds
This project will test STRATAFIX sutures for closing cranial and spine surgical wounds in adults to learn about long-term safety and healing.
-
AI-assisted diagnosis for malignant brain tumors
This project will test an AI system that uses routine preoperative MRI scans to automatically segment and classify malignant brain tumors in adults to help guide diagnosis and care.
-
RISE‑YA tele‑exercise to reduce fatigue in young adult brain tumor survivors
This project will test whether a supervised tele‑exercise program called RISE‑YA helps reduce cancer‑related fatigue in young adults who survived brain tumors.
-
Focused ultrasound to open the blood-brain barrier in adults with high-grade glioma on chemotherapy
This trial tests whether focused ultrasound using the Next Generation Dome Helmet can safely open the blood-brain barrier in adults with glioblastoma who are receiving maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy.
-
Scalp nerve block with liposomal versus standard bupivacaine for post-craniotomy pain relief
This trial will test whether adding liposomal bupivacaine to scalp nerve blocks gives longer, better pain relief than standard bupivacaine for adults after elective craniotomy.
-
Simulation-trained paramedics to improve patient experience after a newly discovered brain tumor
This will test whether simulation training for neurosurgical paramedics helps adults with newly discovered brain tumors feel more satisfied with their hospital care.
-
Monitoring anesthetic depth during brain tumor surgery
This study is testing two ways to give anesthesia during brain tumor surgery to see which method helps patients stay at the right level of sedation and recover better afterward.
-
Measuring Tiredness During Awake Brain Tumor Surgery
This study is testing how tired patients feel during awake brain surgery to help doctors know the best times to remove tumors while the patient is alert.
-
Using EEG to predict postoperative delirium in neurosurgery patients
This study is testing if monitoring brain activity with EEG can help doctors predict if adults will experience confusion after having brain surgery.
-
CAR T-cell therapy for pediatric brain tumors
This study is testing a new CAR T-cell therapy for kids and young adults with tough brain tumors to see if it can safely help them when other treatments have failed.
-
Combining capecitabine and temozolomide for newly diagnosed glioblastoma
This study is testing if combining two cancer drugs, capecitabine and temozolomide, can help people with newly diagnosed glioblastoma live longer and feel better compared to using temozolomide alone.
-
Assessing metabolic changes in brain tumors using advanced imaging techniques
This study is testing a new imaging technique to see how brain tumors change metabolism in patients with different types of brain cancer.
