Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is planned to detect a dose-efficacy relationship between the chosen dose levels of MC506/1 and the extent and quality of fluorescence in the tumour core in patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Radiological suspicion of a malignant glioma with distinct ring- or garland shaped, contrast agent-enhancing tumour structures and a core area of reduced intensity in the MRI (tumour necrosis)
* Indication for surgical tumour resection
* First operation of the tumour, no other tumour-specific pre-treatment
* Karnofsky Performance Scale 70%
* Patient's written informed consent
* Age 18-75 years

Exclusion Criteria

* Porphyria, hypersensitivity to porphyrins
* Renal insufficiency:

* Creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dl
* Hepatic insufficiency:

* Bilirubin \> 3 mg/dl
* Quick test \< 60 %
* GT \> 100 U/I
* Other known malignancy (except basaliomas)

Women:

* Existing/planned pregnancy (to be checked by a pregnancy test if of child-bearing age)/lactation or inadequate contraception (hormone cycle regulation pill or condom)

Men:

* Inadequate contraception (condom)
* Dementia or mental condition making it impossible to understand the therapy and therefore prohibiting written consent
* Simultaneous participation or participation in another clinical trial in the preceding 30 days
