ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is focused on improving the way surgeons remove tumors located in the pineal region and brainstem, which are tricky areas in the brain. The trial is testing a new system that uses mixed reality technology—think of it like wearing special glasses that help doctors see detailed images of the brain during surgery. The goal is to see if this technology can help surgeons remove more of the tumor while also reducing the risk of serious complications and making surgeries quicker.

To participate in this trial, patients should be between 18 and 70 years old and need to have a strong preoperative health status (meaning they should be functioning well before surgery). It’s important that candidates don’t have a history of certain other health problems or previous treatments that might complicate surgery. If eligible, participants can expect to be part of a study that aims to enhance surgical outcomes and improve their overall experience during treatment.
