About this study

Official title: The Application of ZOOMit-fMRI to Identify Motor Functional Cortex

This study was designed to collect a series of patients with gliomas which were involved in motor cortex to analyze difference accuracy of motor cortex localization between BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI.

Read the detailed description

Gliomas will lead motor dysfunction when they are involved in motor cortex. However, tumor resection also have risk to lead postoperatively motor function deficits if destroy patients' motor cortex when tumor removed. Hence, it is important for neurosurgeon to realize the situation of patients' motor cortex locations in order to determine personal operative protocol.

The blood oxygen level dependent fMRI (BOLD-fMRI) is a prevalent preoperative method to localization motor cortex. It shows motor relevant cortex by the change of blood oxygen level when patients cooperate to finish motor tasks. The advantage of BOLD-fMRI includes higher time and spatial resolution, higher sensitivity, non-invasive. However, its accuracy of localization has not been satisfactory because neurovascular uncoupling. The ZOOMit-fMRI is a novel technic which is evolved from conventional BOLD-fMRI to localize motor functional cortex.The advantage of ZOOMit-fMRI is smaller field of view (FOV) and higher spatial resolution comparing with BOLD-fMRI. That helps to reduce other region of brain interference and elevate accuracy of localizations.

In this study, the investigators plan to enroll 60 patients, whose gliomas are involved in motor cortex, to acquire their BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI data in order to analyze their difference in the accuracy of motor cortex localization.

What is being measured

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

  1. The accurate rate for hand motor cortex localization with BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI.

    To illustrate the accurate rate of hand motor cortex localization, the overlap indexes in BOLD-fMRI or ZOOMit-fMRI will be calculated. The results in BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI will be defined with 300 maximum value voxels via Statistical Parametric Mapping 8 (SPM8) software. According to the photographs and records of direct cortical stimulation (DCS) during awaken craniotomy, the DCS results will be confirmed as a global region with 5 mm diameter. Subsequently, we will overlap the BOLD-fMRI/ZOOMit-fMRI and DCS results then calculate the number of voxels overlapping. In this way, the overlap indexes can be calculated as a ratio between the number of voxels overlapping and the number of total voxels in BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI. We defined if the overlap index is larger than 0, the localization result is accurate. In contrast, if the overlap index is equal to zero, the localization result is inaccurate. Finally, the accurate rate of hand motor cortex localization can be calculated.

    Measured: From scanning with BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI to getting the overlap indexes,assessed up to 2 weeks in each patient.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Gliomas, run by Beijing Neurosurgical Institute at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 16 Jan 2019. 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 China. 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 Tao Jiang, MD and PhD (+86-010-67021832, taojiang1964@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The accurate rate for hand motor cortex localization with BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI. (time frame: From scanning with BOLD-fMRI and ZOOMit-fMRI to getting the overlap indexes,assessed up to 2 weeks in each patient.). 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 16 Jan 2019.
