All recruiting trials (7)
-
Anti-fog suction device during endoscopic pituitary surgery
This trial tests whether an anti-fog suction device helps keep the view clear during pituitary tumor surgery and whether it lowers brain-fluid infection risk compared with the usual water-squirting method.
-
Trop‑2 PET imaging for craniopharyngioma diagnosis
This will test whether a Trop‑2–targeting PET tracer (68Ga‑MY6349) can help diagnose craniopharyngioma in people scheduled for surgical removal.
-
Investigating the effects of endoscopic skull base surgery on smell
This study tests how endoscopic skull base surgery affects the sense of smell in patients to better understand any smell-related problems that might happen after the surgery.
-
Understanding pregnancy outcomes in craniopharyngioma patients
This study looks at how pregnancy affects people with craniopharyngioma, a rare brain tumor, by gathering experiences from those who have been diagnosed or treated for it.
-
Treatment for BRAF mutated papillary craniopharyngioma
This study is testing if a combination of two medications can help shrink tumors in patients with a specific type of brain tumor before they have surgery.
-
Using Tovorafenib to treat craniopharyngioma in children and young adults
This study is testing if a new drug called Tovorafenib can safely help children and young adults with craniopharyngioma live better and longer without their cancer getting worse.
-
Proton therapy for brain tumors
This study is testing whether proton therapy can be a better treatment option for patients with certain brain tumors by comparing it to traditional radiation methods to see if it can reduce harm to healthy tissues.
