MENINGIOMA

This phase 3 trial compares proton beam therapy to standard photon radiotherapy in 156 adults with primary brain tumors expected to survive more than 5 years. The goal is to see if proton therapy reduces long-term side effects like memory decline, hearing loss, and hormone proble…

This study tests whether the drug abemaciclib can help people with a fast-growing type of brain tumor called grade 3 meningioma. Participants will receive either the drug or a placebo after standard radiation therapy. The goal is to see if the drug delays tumor growth. About 72 p…

This study is testing whether a special type of PET/MRI scan (68Ga-DOTATATE) can better detect brain tumors, especially meningiomas, after surgery or radiation. The goal is to see if this scan can tell the difference between tumor regrowth and normal changes from treatment. About…

This study tests a home-based program called HOBSCOTCH-CA for brain cancer survivors who struggle with memory and thinking. The program involves weekly virtual sessions with a coach, teaching problem-solving and relaxation techniques. Researchers will compare two groups: one that…

This study compares two common methods of closing the skin after brain tumor surgery: a continuous stitch under the skin using absorbable thread versus separate stitches through the skin using non-absorbable thread. Researchers want to see which method leads to fewer wound proble…

This study aims to create a large collection of blood samples from 2,500 people with or at high risk for cancer. Researchers will use these samples to study liquid biopsies, which are blood tests that may help detect cancer, track treatment response, and spot recurrence. Particip…

This study watches 200 adults who have brain tumor surgery to see how often spinal fluid leaks happen, what makes them more likely, and how doctors treat them. The goal is to find ways to reduce these leaks and help patients recover faster.

This study is testing a simple blood test to monitor meningioma brain tumors after radiation therapy. Researchers will look at tiny particles in the blood to see if they can track tumor changes and predict outcomes without needing a surgical biopsy. The study involves 60 adults w…
