Feasibility of Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies

Study Purpose

This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intraoperative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors to develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.

Recruitment Criteria

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.

NCT04047264
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.

Additional Details

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  • I. Determine biomarkers of in situ gliomas across a diverse patient cohort using intra-operative microdialysis to sample extracellular metabolites.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:
  • I. Evaluate the yield and specificity of microdialysate D-2HG as a candidate tumor biomarker to differentiate between IDH-mutated and IDH-wildtype gliomas.
  • II. Identify biomarkers of tumor-associated processes including brain edema, brain infiltration with non-enhancing tumor, and tumor-associated hypoxia or necrosis.
  • III. Determine the contribution of blood-brain barrier disruption to metabolite abundance within enhancing gliomas.
  • IV. Determine the feasibility of detecting stable-isotope labeled metabolites in human microdialysate.
EXPLORATORY/CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:
  • I. Perform untargeted metabolomics of tumor microdialysate to elucidate extracellular biomarkers reflective of human central nervous system malignancy subtype, grade, and tumor region.
  • II. Banking of microdialysate specimens for future analyses.
OUTLINE: Patients undergo microdialysis over 30 minutes during standard of care biopsy or resection. After completion of study, patients are followed up for 42 days.
