About this trial
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and feasibility of recording brain activity within and around high-grade glioma tumors at the time of surgery. A small biopsy will be taken at the sites of the recordings.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Participants who have the appearance of high-grade glioma (HGG, WHO Grade 3 and 4, including GBM) on MR imaging are allowed to consent and will undergo the procedure if the frozen is consistent with HGG
Participants with a history of histologically-confirmed diagnosis of high- grade glioma that are undergoing resection of a recurrent/progressive tumor that is likely recurrent/progressive high- grade glioma as identified on preoperative MR imaging
Age ≥ 18 years old
Volumetric MRI within 1 month prior to surgery
Disqualifiers
Severe co-morbidity that would confer excess risk of surgery as determined by the treating physician.
Any other major medical illnesses or psychiatric impairments that in the investigator's opinion will prevent administration or completion of protocol therapy.
Is pregnant
Coagulopathy or platelet dysfunction that increases the risk of intra and postoperative hemorrhage
