About this study

Official title: Imaging Biomarkers of Tissue Microstructure and Vasculature as Predictors of Glioblastoma Multiforme Response to Treatment With Bevacizumab for Progressive Disease

This study is for subjects with a diagnosis of a brain tumor called glioblastoma that is being treated with bevacizumab. This study will use a new MRI technique to compare the images of blood vessels and tumor structure to the effectiveness of bevacizumab.

Read the detailed description

This study is for subjects with a diagnosis of a brain tumor called glioblastoma that is being treated with bevacizumab. Bevacizumab is a drug that your doctor believes is the best treatment option available to subjects at this time for this type of tumor. Bevacizumab affects the growth of blood vessels by tumors such as glioblastoma, thus effectively starving the tumor of oxygen and food.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a test done by a machine in the radiology department that takes pictures of your body using special magnets, rather than X-rays. With a new MRI scan technique the investigators can take very, very detailed images of the vessel and tumor structure. This project will allow us to compare the images of vessel and tumor structure to the effectiveness of Bevacizumab as a treatment option. With this project the investigators will hopefully develop an accurate way to predict whether or not Bevacizumab will be an effective treatment option for patients.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. MRI to show differences between bevacizumab responses

    The MRI parameters will help show the differences between bevacizumab-responsive and bevacizumab non-responsive recurrent glioblastoma

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Progression Free Survival at 3 months

    The progression of the subject's disease will be evaluated at 3 months.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioblastoma, run by Medical University of South Carolina 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 7 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2015. 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

MRI to show differences between bevacizumab responses (time frame: 1 month). 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 13 Apr 2015.
