Trial summary

In patients at risk of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), ICP measurements require invasive transducers, usually with insertion of a catheter into the cranium, or through a spinal tap. These invasive modalities involve risks and pain and they can be done only in specialized care units, with a high associated cost. Read more about this study

About this study

In patients at risk of increased intracranial pressure (ICP), ICP measurements require invasive transducers, usually with insertion of a catheter into the cranium, or through a spinal tap. These invasive modalities involve risks and pain and they can be done only in specialized care units, with a high associated cost.

A novel method for detecting changes in ICP has developed recently. The auditory hair cells emit sounds and electric signals in response to sound, which can be easily detected and measured non-invasively with the help of a microphone probe placed in the external ear canal or regular electrodes. Indeed, the cochlear aqueduct connects the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) spaces to the inner ear in such a way that ICP and inner-ear fluid pressure equalize within seconds.

A symptom of intracranial pressure (ICP) was observed in glioma patient due to a combination of causes: the inflammatory reaction around the tumor, the mass effect of the tumor, secondary vascular changes, a change in the flow of CSF.

The evaluation of intracranial hypertension by increased ICP (invasive) is not used in the monitoring of intracranial tumors. It is then detected by using routine clinical signs, in combination with a standard imaging method (MRI), but still subjective.

The measurement of noninvasive ICP could allow earlier detection of relapse, and evaluate whether the increase in ICP precedes tumor clinical worsening and / or imaging.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
noninvasive method of ICP measurementsExperimentalPatients will receive a noninvasive measurement of ICP variations during each of their follow up consultation. These measurements will last until 30 minutes for the first consultation (parameters to determine) and 10 minutes for the others. A postural test will be performed during the ICP measurements when the patient condition will make it possible to do. Measurements will be performed by a device with noninvasive acoustic probes placed in the ear, and in case of electrophysiological test, regular electrodes on the brow.

What is being measured

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

  1. Presence of an ICP variation or increase when physician has diagnosed a clinical or morphological aggravation of the tumor with standard diagnose methods (composite outcome measure)

    Presence of an ICP variation or increase when physician has diagnosed a clinical or morphological aggravation of the tumor with standard diagnose methods (composite outcome measure ) : clinical signs, MRI and response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO) .

    Measured: from baseline to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. evolution of ICP before and after the progression of the relapse tumor according to imaging (RMI)

    Measured: from baseline to 1 year

  2. evolution of ICP before and after the progression of the relapse tumor according to clinical sign

    Measured: from baseline to 1 year

  3. Evaluate efficiency of the measurement device of ICP changes on repetitive measurement as evaluated by composite outcome measure : clinical signs, MRI and RANO criteria

    Measured: from baseline to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing noninvasive method of ICP measurements (Elios) in people with Glioma, run by Centre Jean Perrin 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 6 inclusion and 4 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 31 Jan 2020. 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?

Presence of an ICP variation or increase when physician has diagnosed a clinical or morphological aggravation of the tumor with standard diagnose methods (composite outcome measure) (time frame: from baseline to 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02520492, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Jan 2020.
