The study intervention focuses on exploring the use of angiotensin II as a primary vasopressor compared to norepinephrine in cardiac surgery patients to investigate whether angiotensin II can reduce the occurrence of moderate/severe acute kidney injury (AKI). Despite its potential, as suggested by trials involving surgical patients, there is currently no human data confirming its effectiveness in preventing moderate/severe AKI in this context. The intervention aims to address this gap by evaluating angiotensin II's impact compared to norepinephrine.

This trial is designed to evaluate safety and explore possible efficacy of 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (5-ALA HCl, Gliolan®) with CV01 delivery of ultrasound for sonodynamic therapy in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma prior to resection and standard adjuvant therapy.
The study will accrue 10 evaluable high-grade glioma patients. Patients who qualify will receive sonodynamic therapy (5 ALA combined with CV01-delivered sonication) 2 to 5 days prior to standard resection, with one study magnetic resonance imaging being performed between sonodynamic therapy and resection. Resection will be followed by standard radio-/chemotherapy. All patients will be followed up in-study for toxicities and adverse events for 28 days.

The aim of this study is to collect feedback from organ transplant patients or their caregivers/relatives on the medication information leaflets we've developed, using a questionnaire, and to adjust the content to better meet the specific needs of this unique patient group.
