First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests a special version of the cancer drug nivolumab that has a fluorescent dye attached, called nivo800. The dye makes the drug glow under a special camera, so doctors can see exactly where the drug goes in the tumor during brain surgery. The goal is to find the right dose and check safety, not to treat the cancer directly. About 38 adults with high-grade glioma will take part.
