About this study

Official title: INTRA-OPERATIVE CONFOCAL LASER ENDOMICROSCOPY FOR BRAIN TUMORS: A FEASIBILITY STUDY IN HUMAN

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) could be a useful tool for real-time diagnosis of brain lesions (initial diagnosis or follow-up post resection to check for residual dysplasia) and real-time assessment of resections margins during surgery. Probe-based CLE using the CELLVIZIO® has never been used for glioma surgical guided resection. Before assessing the potential of this technique in improving surgical resection outcome, a feasability study has to be performed.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • confocal endomicroscopy with the CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology)Procedure or surgery

    The CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology) will be used for confocal endomicroscopy during a surgical procedure (either open surgical approach or stereotaxic biopsy). The probe dedicated to the CELLVIZIO® system will be positioned against the surface of the brain, sequences will be acquired, and finally compared with anatomapathology exams. Two specific medications will be used as contrast agent in the study: Fluorescein FAURE 500mg/5mL IV with a maximum of two doses per patient OR 5 amino-levulinic hydrochloride (GLIOLAN, MEDAC) orally at the dose of 20mg/kg of body weight.

What is being measured

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

  1. To demonstrate the technical feasibility of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies.

    The technical feasibility will be assessed by the capacity of the CELLVIZIO® system to provide microscopic images of healthy tissue and lesions suspected with malignancy and to match those images with classical histologies.

    Measured: End of the surgical procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To demonstrate the safety of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, metastasis) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies.

    Safety will be assessed by the number, type and severity of recorded adverse events.

    Measured: 14 days after inclusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing confocal endomicroscopy with the CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology) in people with Low Grade Glioma (LGG), High Grade Glioma (HGG), run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 5 inclusion and 10 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 26 Nov 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 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.

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 was stopped early. 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?

To demonstrate the technical feasibility of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies. (time frame: End of the surgical procedure). 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 26 Nov 2015.
