First seen Nov 18, 2025 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether a dye called panitumumab-IRDye800 is safe and helps surgeons see brain tumors more clearly during surgery in children aged 6 months to 25 years. The dye makes tumor tissue glow, which may help remove more of the tumor while protecting healthy brain. About 12 participants will receive the dye before their planned surgery, and researchers will monitor for side effects and how well the dye highlights the tumor.
