What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study uses brain mapping techniques like fMRI and MEG before, during, and after surgery to see how brain functions like movement and speech reorganize in people with brain tumors. Researchers hope to improve surgical planning and preserve important brain functions. The study involves 75 adults with brain tumors near critical brain areas.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to better surgical planning and preservation of important brain functions during tumor removal.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not directly benefit participants, and results may not apply to all brain tumor patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 19 years and older * Brain tumor in or near eloquent brain regions that is appropriate for attempted resection * Appropriate body habitus and mental status/capacity to participate with non-invasive or invasive mapping * Benign or malignant intra-axial brain tumor * Primary or metastatic intra-axial brain tumor Exclusion Criteria: * Any contraindication to MRI (i.e. implanted devices) * Inappropriate body habitus or mental status/capacity to participate with non-invasive or invasive mapping in a safe and reliable manner * Declining to participate * Lacks capacity to understand the study or consent for themselves * Neurologic status which precludes testing (poor function- not testable) * Positive pregnancy test * End stage renal disease or severe renal dysfunction
