NCT ID NCT07282470
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at epigenetic changes in meningioma tumors and blood samples to find markers that could predict if the tumor will come back after surgery. Researchers will analyze tissue from past patients and collect blood from new patients. The goal is to improve personalized care for people with this common brain tumor.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to a blood test that helps doctors predict which meningiomas are likely to come back after surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. The findings may not lead to immediate changes in patient care, and the epigenetic markers may not prove reliable in larger, diverse groups.
