Patients' voices heard: comparing brain tumor treatments through their eyes
NCT ID NCT07547163
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how people with a slow-growing brain tumor (low-grade glioma) feel during different treatments. Researchers will ask 90 patients about their quality of life, symptoms, and anxiety while they receive either the drug vorasidenib, radiotherapy, or just regular check-ups. The goal is to learn which approach is easier on patients, helping doctors make better care decisions.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- vorasidenib
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help doctors understand which treatment—vorasidenib, radiotherapy, or just monitoring—better preserves quality of life for people with low-grade gliomas.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial, so it won't prove which therapy is more effective. Results may not apply to all patients, and questionnaires may not capture every side effect.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age \> 18 years * Histological diagnosis of IDH mutant, grade 2 glioma * Consent to treatment * Consent to the administration of PROM questionnaires Exclusion Criteria: * Cognitive impairment or mental disability. * Dementia or severe cognitive disorders: participants who are unable to understand the questionnaire items are excluded, as the data may not be reliable. * Uncontrolled severe psychiatric disorders: conditions such as schizophrenia or untreated psychosis may compromise the patient's ability to provide consistent responses. * Language barriers. * Inability to understand the language of the questionnaire: participants who do not speak or understand the language in which the questionnaire is written are excluded if validated translations are not available. * Literacy issues: participants who are unable to read or write are excluded. * Non-adherence or poor cooperation. * Refusal to complete the questionnaires: even if the patient agrees to participate in the study, the specific refusal to complete the questionnaires leads to exclusion. * Conditions that may influence questionnaire outcomes. * Use of medications that impair cognitive abilities: the use of sedatives or antipsychotics may affect the ability to provide coherent responses, compromising the validity of PROs.
