Brain tumor MRI study aims to uncover immune secrets
NCT ID NCT07185646
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 200 people with brain tumors to see if special MRI scans can reveal details about the tumor's immune environment. Participants will have an MRI before surgery. The goal is to learn more about brain tumors, not to test a new treatment.
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 help doctors better understand brain tumors using MRI, potentially guiding future treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It may not lead to direct patient benefits, and results may not apply to all brain tumor types.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. conventional MRI revealed intracranial space-occupying lesions and suspected high-grade gliomas, brain metastases and meningiomas; 2. It is planned to perform a brain tumor resection surgery in this institution.
