About this study

Official title: Pilot Trial of Gadolium Texaphyrin for Magnetic Resonance Imaging-Guided Resection of High Grade Gliomas

RATIONALE: New imaging procedures such as the use of gadolinium texaphyrin with MRI may improve the ability to detect the extent of gliomas.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of gadolinium texaphyrin used with MRI-guided surgery in treating patients with high-grade glioma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of gadolinium texaphyrin as a tumor retained contrast agent in MRI guided neurosurgery in patients with radiological diagnosis of high grade glioma. I. Determine the intratumoral pharmacology and quantitative pharmacokinetics of gadolinium texaphyrin using MRI imaging in these patients. II. Develop a scale that will relate MRI signal characteristics from intratumoral gadolinium texaphyrin with absolute intratumoral levels of gadolinium texaphyrin in these patients. III. Investigate the distribution of gadolinium texaphyrin in high grade gliomas in comparison with biologically active tumor as delineated by elevated choline-containing material detected by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study. Patients receive gadolinium texaphyrin by IV infusion 20 minutes to 2 hours prior to magnetic resonance imaging and surgery. The maximum tolerated dose for a single dose of gadolinium texaphyrin is determined by cohorts of 3 patients who are treated at one of five escalating doses. Patients in each cohort are followed for a minimum of 4 weeks each before the next cohort begins. If good contrast enhancement is assessed at the fourth dose level (cohort 4), dose escalation stops. Patients are followed at days 1 and 2, at weeks 1, 2, and 4, and at 3 months after surgery.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 6-18 patients will be accrued into this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing motexafin gadolinium, magnetic resonance imaging and surgical procedure in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Jun 2013.
