Safety and Feasibility of Preoperative and Intraoperative Image-Guided Resection of Gliomas

Study Purpose

This study evaluates the use of specialized magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques including magnetic resonance (MR) perfusion and 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG) spectroscopy in the surgical treatment of gliomas. Cohort 1 participants will undergo an MR perfusion scan or 2-HG spectroscopy prior to surgery and intra-operatively. Cohort 2 participants will only undergo standard of care imaging and tumor acquisition. Participant participation will end at the completion of surgery and will be transitioned to standard of care follow-up.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03542409
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Cohort 1, Group A (contrast enhancing tumor)

Group A patients will undergo standard tumor preoperative imaging and MR perfusion scan prior to surgical resection. Group A patients will undergo standard intraoperative imaging along with MR perfusion scan during surgical resection.

Experimental: Cohort 1, Group B (non-enhancing tumor)

Group B patients will undergo standard tumor preoperative imaging and 2HG spectroscopy scan prior to surgical resection. Group A patients will undergo standard intraoperative imaging along with 2HG spectroscopy scan during surgical resection.

Experimental: Cohort 2

During the analysis for cohort 1, we found significant differences in the pre MRI samples and the post intraoperative MRI samples. Cohort 2, which will include 10 additional patients, has be created to confirm these differences. Unlike cohort 1, advanced imaging (2-HG spectroscopy and MR perfusion) is not needed to make this comparison. The standard of care intraoperative MRI sequences used routinely will be sufficient for these 10 new samples. The specific aim of Cohort 2 is: 1. Compare areas from initial surgery with that of extended resection after intraoperative SOC MRI in 10 additional subjects (Cohort 2).

Interventions

Other: - MR Perfusion Scan

MR perfusion scan before and during surgery.

Other: - 2HG Spectroscopy Scan

2HG spectroscopy scan before and during surgery.

Other: - Standard of Care Intraoperative MRI

The standard of care intraoperative MRI sequences used routinely will be sufficient for these 10 new samples.
