Summary

This study tests a new imaging device called cCeLL that uses a fluorescent dye to help surgeons see brain tumor tissue in real time during surgery. Thirty adults with suspected brain tumors will have their tumor tissue examined both by the device and by standard lab analysis. The goal is to see if the device can diagnose tumors as accurately as the current method, but much faster.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Indocyanine Green (ICG) dye

What this could lead to

If successful, this could provide a faster, real-time way to identify brain tumor margins during surgery, potentially improving surgical precision.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase study with only 30 participants. The device may not prove more accurate than current methods, and results may not apply to all tumor types.
