Summary

This study tests a procedure called endovascular embolization for people with meningioma, a type of brain tumor. The procedure blocks blood vessels that feed the tumor, aiming to shrink it or stop its growth. Participants are adults with growing or symptomatic meningiomas that are supplied by a specific artery. The study measures tumor volume changes and tracks complications or the need for further treatment.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: a procedure called endovascular embolization that blocks blood vessels feeding the tumor
What this could lead to: If it works, this could offer a less invasive treatment for meningiomas, potentially avoiding surgery or radiation in some patients.
What could go wrong: This is a small, early study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries risks like bleeding or stroke.
