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

Study population: Under the " ExtempoRMN "project, we propose to focus on primary brain tumors mainly gliomas that include: Glioblastomas, the low-grade oligodendrogliomas (WHO grade II) and high grade (WHO grade III), Astrocytomas. Normality will be obtained by analysis of control brain tissues from epilepsy surgery. Study population for this project is all the patients of department of neurosurgery of Strasbourg University Hospitals and Colmar Hospital center, for whom a neurosurgical operation is programmed before inclusion in this study, and who meets inclusion criteria.

Who may be able to join

  • Male or female
  • Age 18 years of age or older at the time of surgery
  • Primary brain tumors (gliomas mainly) or epilepsy, for which neurosurgical intervention is programmed
  • In the case of brain tumors: primary-lesions or transformation of low-grade gliomas into high-grade gliomas not treated with radiotherapy
  • Affiliated with a social security
  • Having signed the informed consent
  • Having been informed of the results of the medical examination prior

Who cannot join

  • Relapse of tumors previously treated with radiotherapy or chemotherapy
  • Subject under treatment (radiotherapy or chemotherapy) prior to surgery
  • Metastatic lesions (location of the primary lesion outside the central nervous system)
  • Inability to give to the subject or his/her family enlightened information (subject in emergency situation, difficulties of understanding...)
  • Subject under judicial protection
  • Subject under guardianship or curatorship
  • Patients' Refusal

About this study

Official title: Assistance in Neurosurgery by Extemporaneous Analysis of Magnetic Resonance of the Metabolic Content in Excised Tissues (ExtempoRMN)

The main ambition of this project is to develop, and provide the medical community, an innovative method to analyze extemporaneously, during a neurosurgery operation, excised tissues. This method is based on the analysis of the metabolic profile of excised tissues by the technique of High-Resolution Magic-Angle Spinning (HR-MAS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Indeed HRMAS NMR method can provide in a sufficiently short time lapse (currently about 30 minutes but within our project a time lapse of 15 min or even less is ultimately intended), medical information that can complement those obtained by classic histological examination.

Primary purpose:

Read more

The main objective of this study is to determine the sensitivity of HRMAS NMR spectroscopy in detecting residual tumor infiltration at the brain resection cavity. The investigators aim to determine the relevance of the metabolic analysis compared to histological analysis during a neurosurgery operation. This involves analyzing excised tissue samples, obtained from the operating rooms of Strasbourg University Hospitals, and Colmar Hospital Center, with no return to neurosurgeon for surgery.

Secondary purposes:

The secondary objectives of the protocol are to investigate the metabolome of different types of brain tumors, in order to find prognostic and diagnostic markers. It consists in detecting metabolomic factors of bad prognosis, and potential marker of good prognosis such as the IDH mutation.

What participants receive

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

  • High-Resolution Magic-Angle Spinning Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopyDevice

    Also called HRMAS-NMR

What is being measured

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

  1. The percentage of the cases for which, the HRMAS NMR spectroscopy results of the excised tissues are consistent with quantitative histological analysis of the same excised tissues.

    To validate the primary endpoint of this study, statistical analysis should confirm this consistency in at least 95% of the cases.

    Measured: 3 years from the beginning of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Primary Brain Tumor and Glioma, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 3 sites 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 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Oct 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Izzie Jacques Namer, MD (33.3.88.12.75.50, Izzie.Jacques.NAMER@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The percentage of the cases for which, the HRMAS NMR spectroscopy results of the excised tissues are consistent with quantitative histological analysis of the same excised tissues. (time frame: 3 years from the beginning of the study). 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 23 Oct 2014.
