Trial summary

This clinical trial studies optical imaging in assessing activity during surgery in patients with brain tumors. New procedures, such as optical spectroscopy, may help doctors maximally remove brain tumors and minimize damage to normal brain. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Neurosurgical patient population in the City of Hope brain and spinal tumor neurosurgical programs that have been diagnosed with a brain tumor.
  • Only lucid patients qualified to consent to neurosurgical procedure will be approached for participation in this study.
  • We do intend to enroll subjects with potentially terminal brain tumors. Due to the potential benefit of intraoperative mapping, we are not planning to exclude these subjects.
  • Patients with any type of brain tumor will be eligible for participation.
  • All subjects must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • There are no exclusion criteria except for individuals without a brain tumor and the location of the craniotomy. If the exposed area of brain is not compatible with peripheral stimuli or volitional activity the subject cannot be enrolled.
  • Subjects, who in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To develop the instrumentation to achieve real time processing and display of intraoperative 2-dimensional optical imaging and spectroscopy (i2DOS) maps in the operating arena.

II. To examine the timing and spatial involvement of human cortex intraoperatively to different stimuli using i2DOS.

OUTLINE: Patients undergo i2DOS.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of the effectiveness of intraoperative optical imaging technology and optical spectroscopy.

    Optical reflectance images will be analyzed by pixel by-pixel subtraction of a control trial and a stimulation trial. This subtracted image will then be divided by the control image to normalize for differences between subjects and trials. These ratios thus represent proportional changes from baseline.

    Measured: Day 1 post surgery

  2. Intraoperative determination of the location of critical brain functions.

    We will examine the timing and spatial involvement of human cortex intraoperatively to different stimuli using i2DOS. Stimulus parameters will be varied to investigate stimulus-response relationships. We will study areas of sensori-motor and language cortex using customary stimuli for evoked potentials (i.e. transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), tactile stimuli for exposed cortical dermatome representations, and language tasks for cortical language representations. Results will be correlated with intraoperative electrophysiological measures.

    Measured: Day 1 post surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Interoperative Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy in people with Brain Tumor, run by City of Hope Medical 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?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 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 20 Jan 2016. 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?

Determination of the effectiveness of intraoperative optical imaging technology and optical spectroscopy. (time frame: Day 1 post surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 20 Jan 2016.
