About this study

Official title: Randomized Control Trial for Awake vs. Asleep Craniotomy for Non-eloquent Gliomas

This study protocol examines a comparison between local and general anesthesia (Awake vs. Asleep Craniotomy) in the removal of brain tumors that are in areas of the brain that do not directly control bodily functions (non-eloquent gliomas).

Read the detailed description

This is a single-center, prospective randomized open or non-blinded end-point (PROBE) clinical trial. Patients will be selected by the neurosurgeon according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who consent to randomization will have confirmed non-eloquent status confirmed by independent surgeon and will be randomized into 1 of 2 treatment groups utilizing a dynamic minimization approach. The experimental group with randomization of patients who will undergo awake craniotomy for both high and low grade gliomas in non-eloquent areas or a control group of patients who will have asleep craniotomy for both high and low grade gliomas in non-eloquent regions.

What participants receive

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

  • Awake Anesthesia ProtocolProcedure or surgery

    Awake is defined as the patient being awake with electrical brain stimulation mapping during the critical portions of the procedure.

  • Non-awake Anesthesia ProtocolProcedure or surgery

    Non-awake is general anesthesia as per convention with intubation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Extent of resection

    Extent of resection (EOR) defined as the residual volume, in cm3, of tumor measured by MRI

    Measured: up to 48 hrs post operation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Percentage of baseline tumor volume resected

    Measured by MRI

    Measured: up to 48 hrs post operation

  2. VAS Postoperative anxiety

    Postoperative Anxiety scale measured using a 0 to 10 visual analog scale (0: no anxiety, 10: worst anxiety)

    Measured: Day 1(+14 days) , Post op day 0, 1, 2 weeks, 3mth

  3. Length of Surgery

    defined as time entering OR and leaving OR

    Measured: Intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Awake Anesthesia Protocol and Non-awake Anesthesia Protocol in people with Intracranial Glioma, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 8 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 26 May 2023. 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 United States. 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?

Extent of resection (time frame: up to 48 hrs post operation). 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 May 2023.
