Investigating blood clotting changes in meningioma surgery
Official title: Meningioma and Embolism Thrombosis Risk & Investigation of Coagulation
Run by University Hospital Tuebingen · NCT06709833 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study looks at how blood clotting changes in patients with meningiomas during surgery to see if it affects their risk of blood clots compared to those having surgery for gliomas.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include patients scheduled for surgical resection of meningiomas or gliomas, as well as healthy controls.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who are not undergoing surgery for meningiomas or gliomas, or those who do not provide written consent, may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore the coagulation and platelet function changes that occur in patients undergoing surgical resection of meningiomas, which are generally benign tumors but can lead to thrombembolic complications. Blood samples will be collected from patients before and immediately after their tumor resection to assess these changes. A control group of patients undergoing glioma resection will also be included to compare the coagulation responses. The study seeks to uncover the molecular mechanisms behind the increased thrombosis risk associated with meningiomas.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of thrombembolic risks in patients undergoing meningioma surgery.
How similar studies have gone: While the specific focus on meningiomas and their coagulation changes is novel, similar studies on gliomas have shown success in understanding coagulation dynamics.
