Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 15 to 75 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients above the age of 15 years conferring to Grade I and II of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification system undergoing elective intracranial tumor surgery at our institute in the specified period.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients above the age of 15 years conferring to Grade I and II of American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) physical status classification system, undergoing elective craniotomy with intracranial tumor excision were included in this study. Patients with or without any neuro-deficit were also included. Only those patients in whom all the tumor dimensions could be defined with precision on pre-operative CECT, CEMRI and IOUSG were included in the final analysis.

Who cannot join

  • Patients' in whom there are multiple intracranial tumors (e.g. metastasis), deep seated tumors, inability to use IOUSG and in whom exact tumor dimensions cannot be defined either on pre-operative CECT/CEMRI or on IOUSG were excluded.

About this study

Official title: Intra-operative Variation in Size of Brain Tumors After Craniotomy - Observational Comparative Imaging Study

We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain.

Read the detailed description

Background: No previous study to determine the intraoperative changes in the tumor dimensions had been undertaken previously. Objectives: We planned to evaluate the change in tumor dimensions of intraaxial parenchymal tumors after craniotomy by comparing the tumor size on intraoperative ultrasonography (IOUSG) with pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain. Study Design: This was a prospective observational study. Participants: Patients aged 15-65 years undergoing surgery at SKIMS for intraaxial parenchymal intracranial tumors were included. Methods: Standard pre-operative CECT and CEMRI brain were done to measure tumor dimensions and compared with IOUSG.

What is being measured

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

  1. Tumor dimension change

    Change in tumor dimension, surface area and volume when comparing intraoperative ultrasound with pre-operative CEMRI and CECT brain

    Measured: March 2018 to November 2019

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Tumor distance from dural surface

    Change in the distance of tumor from dural surface as measured on intraoperative ultrasound when comparing it with pre-operative CEMRI and CECT brain

    Measured: March 2018 to November 2019

  2. Relationship of tumor size change with other characteristics

    Relationship of tumor size change with tumor consistency, tumor characteristics, histopathology, tumor location

    Measured: March 2018 to November 2019

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Tumor, Primary, run by Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences at 1 site in India.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 28 Apr 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 India. 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?

Tumor dimension change (time frame: March 2018 to November 2019). 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 28 Apr 2020.
