Summary

The lay summary the sponsor registered on ClinicalTrials.gov.

This early phase I trial tests the safety and reliability of an investigational imaging technique called quantitative oblique back illumination microscopy (qOBM) during brain surgery for detecting brain tumors and brain tumor margins in patients with glioblastoma, astrocytoma, or oligodendroglioma. Surgical margins refer to the edge or border of the tissue removed in cancer surgery. qOBM may be able to assess and reveal brain tumor surgical margins in a more safe and reliable manner.
