Rapid brain tumor detection device tested in operating room
NCT ID NCT06098248
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a new imaging device called cCeLL-Ex vivo that uses laser microscopy to quickly detect brain tumors during surgery. The goal was to see if it could diagnose tumors faster than the standard frozen section method, which takes 20-30 minutes. The study enrolled 285 patients but was terminated early, so the full results are not available.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
cCeLL-Ex vivo device (confocal laser fluorescence microscopy)
What this could lead to
If successful, this device could help surgeons diagnose brain tumors faster during surgery, potentially reducing operating time.
What could go wrong
The study was terminated early, so results are limited. The device is still experimental and not yet proven to replace standard methods.
