Aminolevulinic Acid in Visualizing a Tumor During Surgery in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme

Study:

A Phase 2 Comparative Study of 5-Aminolevulinic Acid (5-ALA) and Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) to Enhance Completeness of Resection of Glioblastoma

Rationale:

n/a

Purpose:

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and performance of an investigational agent, known as 5-ALA or Gliolan (aminolevulinic acid), that many be useful to a surgeon for visualizing a tumor during surgery. It is also being studied to determine if there are differences in what Gliolan shows a surgeon compared to intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
