About this study

This clinical trial studies how well resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) MRI performed before and after surgery works in measuring the effects on language in patients with glioma. Mapping language function before brain tumor resection is crucial for preventing post-surgical deficits and maximizing restoration of language function following surgery. Additional imaging, such as resting-state functional MRI and CVR MRI, may help measure the language network in the brain before surgery and any effects on language function after surgery.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To develop a reliable platform for preoperative mapping of language networks using resting-state-functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs)-fMRI in glioma patients.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To explore the reorganizations of resting-state functional connectivity (FC) and their relation to neuropsychological outcomes in glioma patients after surgery.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo standard of care functional (f)MRI, CVR MRI over 3 minutes, and rs-fMRI over 6 minutes 1 month before and within 6 weeks after standard of care surgery.

After completion of study, patients are followed up at 4-6 weeks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Detectability of language networks

    Will be performed using resting-state-functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis will be carried out to compare the difference between the diagnostic performance of the proposed method and that of the data-driven rs-fMRI method. The study will evaluate the performance of rs-fMRI by comparing with the standard of care intraoperative direct cortical stimulation.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Changes in resting-state functional connectivity and neuropsychological outcomes

    Graph theoretical analysis and large-scale network analysis will be applied to analyze pre- and post- surgical rs-fMRI data, to explore how the functional reorganization is correlated to the changes of neuropsychological scores. Correlational analyses will be conducted to determine the associations between changes in rs-fMRI network features and neuropsychological functioning from the pre- to postoperative period.

    Measured: Up to 6 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Resting State Functional Connectivity Magnetic Resonance Imaging in people with Brain Mass and Glioma, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 9 inclusion and 3 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 15 Nov 2024. 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?

Detectability of language networks (time frame: Up to 6 weeks). 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 15 Nov 2024.
