New MRI technique aims to help surgeons remove more of a deadly brain tumor

NCT ID NCT06455189

First seen Jul 01, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a new type of MRI, called MR fingerprinting, can better show where a glioblastoma (an aggressive brain tumor) has spread compared to standard MRI. The goal is to help surgeons remove more of the tumor safely. The study involves adults with suspected glioblastoma and will first check if the approach is safe and feasible.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

MR fingerprinting-guided surgical resection

What this could lead to

If successful, this approach could help surgeons remove more tumor tissue during glioblastoma surgery, potentially delaying recurrence.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase safety and feasibility study. The new MRI technique may not improve outcomes or could increase surgical risks.
