Trial summary

This study will examine the use of a variation of standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI), in order to evaluate the peripheral white matter infiltration of high grade brain tumors. Organized architecture is destroyed once brain tumor cells are infiltrating surrounding tissue. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Histopathologic Evaluation of High Grade Brain Tumors by High Order Diffusion Tensor Imaging: Peritumoral Glial Cell Infiltration Quantitative Method

This study will examine the use of a variation of standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) called diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI), in order to evaluate the peripheral white matter infiltration of high grade brain tumors. Organized architecture is destroyed once brain tumor cells are infiltrating surrounding tissue. The infiltrated tissue is then isotropic (or less anisotropic). DT-MRI can assess anisotropy after datasets post treatment. Primary outcome is to find if a correlation exists between GA (generalized anisotropy) and the infiltration percentage of stereotactic peritumoral biopsies.

Read the detailed description

Patients with high grade brain tumor undergo a usual brain tumor MRI protocol as well as a 20 or 60 directions DT-MRI sequence upon patient collaboration. Images are acquired using a 3 Tesla MRI scanner (GE MR750 Discovery).

The usual brain tumor MRI protocol contains the following sequences: 3DT1, Axial T2, Flair, T2 EG, diffusion (b0-b1000), 3DT1CE.

They will then undergo stereotactic tumor biopsies with Leksell frame mounted.

Biopsy targets will be surgically planned. The coordinates of this first biopsy will be recorded for later coregistration with DT-MRI datasets.

Histopathologic analysis of the biopsies will be done using usual procedure. various immunologic markers such as MAP2, Ki67 will be used on the first biopsy sample in order to estimate the percentage of infiltration (ratio of tumor cells number over total cells number).

Analysis of DT-MRI datasets will be done using home-made software for high order tensor resolution and GA estimation at the exact coordinates of the biopsy sites.

Finally a statistical analysis (Pearson or Spearman) will be done to correlate GA and the infiltration percentage.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing peritumoral glial cell infiltration in people with High Grade Brain Tumor, run by University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 8 Jul 2014. 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 France. 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?

DTI-MRI (time frame: at J0). 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 8 Jul 2014.
