Glowing drug lights up brain tumors for surgeons

NCT ID NCT07210632

Summary

This early study aims to see if a cancer drug (nivolumab) can be made to glow with a special dye, allowing doctors to see exactly where it goes in the brain during surgery for aggressive tumors called high-grade gliomas. The main goals are to check if this glowing version of the drug is safe and to find the right dose that makes the tumor light up clearly under a microscope. It's for adults who are already scheduled for brain tumor surgery.
