Scientists probe brain with tiny tube to see if drug reaches deadly tumor

NCT ID NCT05413304

Summary

This study aims to see if researchers can measure how much of an oral cancer drug (abemaciclib) gets into a person's aggressive brain tumor. A small number of adults with a recurring high-grade brain tumor will take the drug for a few days before surgery. During surgery, a tiny tube will be placed in the tumor to collect fluid for 48 hours to measure the drug level directly.
