About this study

Official title: Image Guided Adaptive Multi-modality Therapy in the Treatment of Gliomas

RATIONALE: New imaging techniques using magnetic resonance imaging give better tumor definition, thus may lead to better tumor targeting and avoid damaging critical parts of normal brain.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying how well image-guided therapy works in treating patients with newly diagnosed intracranial glioma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To correlate the imaging findings with pathological grade following surgery in patients with newly diagnosed intra-cranial gliomas.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine the feasibility of defining the optimal target volume for radiation therapy using MR spectroscopy, diffusion, perfusion and functional imaging. II. To monitor therapeutic responses following treatment using MR spectroscopy, diffusion imaging and perfusion study.

III. To monitor changes in neurocognitive functioning following image guided therapy.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging, functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), diffusion-weighted MRI, and perfusion-weighted MRI. Patients then undergo maximum surgical resection followed by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for the first year then every 6 months for another year.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging, Perfusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging and Functional magnetic resonance imaging in people with Glioma, run by NYU Langone Health 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Aug 2017. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Lack of enrollment). Results are not available in the source record.

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Feasibility of identifying low grade and high grade tumor location with imaging techniques that include MRSI,perfusion MRI, and DTI (time frame: Twice a year, after enrollment of first 25 patients, and at study completion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 4 Aug 2017.
