About this study

Official title: Randomized Controlled Multicenter Trial on the Impact of Presurgical Navigated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Motor Mapping of Rolandic Lesions

To compare presurgical motor mapping by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation for surgery (nTMS) of rolandic lesions to surgery with mapping without implementing these data into neuronavigation as control.

Primary objective: Permanently new postoperative deficit is lower when the preoperative motor mapping is available to the surgeon

Read the detailed description

Experimental intervention:

presurgical motor mapping by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation and fusion with intraoperative neuronavigation

Control intervention:

presurgical motor mapping by navigated transcranial magnetic stimulation without access of the surgeon to this data Follow-up per patient: 6 months Duration of intervention per patient: 45 minutes

Being tested
nTMS data available for the surgeon, nTMS data not available for the surgeon
Keywords
glioma, brain metastases, nTMS
Medical subject headings
Glioma, Brain Neoplasms

What participants receive

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

  • nTMS data available for the surgeonProcedure or surgery

    the preoperatively acquired map of the motor cortex by nTMS will be available for the surgeon

  • nTMS data not available for the surgeonProcedure or surgery

    the preoperatively acquired map of the motor cortex by nTMS will not be available for the surgeon

What is being measured

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

  1. Operation-related neurological motor deficit 3 months after surgery as measured by NIHSS scale

    deterioration in NIHSS score

    Measured: 3 months after surgery

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. changed indication for surgery

    towards surgery, avoids surgery towards biopsy, avoids surgery towards follow-up

    Measured: 1 - 7 days before surgery

  2. change of the approach

    using a different direct to approach the lesion (different sulcus, gyrus, sub cortically)

    Measured: 1 - 7 days before surgery

  3. size of craniotomy

    in mm ap and lateral

    Measured: intraoperatively

  4. use of intraoperative motor mapping via MEP

    yes/no

    Measured: intraoperatively

  5. duration of intraoperative motor mapping via MEP

    in min

    Measured: intraoperatively

  6. duration of surgery

    in min

    Measured: intraoperatively

  7. extent of resection

    in % via volumetry

    Measured: intraoperatively

  8. use of further modalities (fMRI, DTI fiber tracking, SSEP phase reversal)

    yes/no

    Measured: intraoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing nTMS data available for the surgeon and nTMS data not available for the surgeon in people with Glioma and Brain Metastases, run by Technical University of Munich at 7 sites in 3 countries.

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 4 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 1 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Germany, Italy, Switzerland. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 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?

Operation-related neurological motor deficit 3 months after surgery as measured by NIHSS scale (time frame: 3 months after surgery). 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 1 Jun 2023.
