About this study

This is a feasibility single arm study designed for obtaining early data for optimization and evaluation of the clinical potential for a new MR technique using deuterated glucose. The purpose of the study is to investigate whether this technique is useful in metabolic imaging of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and whether radiochemotherapy (RCT) induced changes in the brain metabolism can be detected and might be predictive for treatment response. The study will include 10 patients with histologically verified GBM scheduled for standard RCT. Patients will have MRI scan performed before and within 8 weeks after starting RCT. The scans will include imaging after oral intake of deuterated glucose, so called deuterium metabolic imaging (DMI). Based on this study, the most optimal scanning technique, output variables of highest discriminative power with respect to RCT, and potential predictive markers for response will be selected for further clinical investigation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Deuterium Metabolic Imaging

    2H-glucose uptake and conversion to lactate and glx over 120 minutes in normal brain and tumor tissue. Before and after radiochemotherapy to measure the changes with therapy.

    Measured: Imaging repeated twice with ~10 weeks between them.

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Perfusion MRI

    Dynamic contrast enhancement MRI using a gadolinium-based contrast agent.

    Measured: Imaging repeated twice with ~10 weeks between them.

  2. Microvascular diffusion MRI

    Diffusion-weighted MRI.

    Measured: Imaging repeated twice with ~10 weeks between them.

  3. Amide proton transfer weighted MRI

    APT-CEST MRI.

    Measured: Imaging repeated twice with ~10 weeks between them.

  4. Progression-free survival

    Time until progression or death.

    Measured: Until an event (average 6 months) or closure of the protocol after 4 years.

  5. Overall survival

    Time until death.

    Measured: Until an event (average 15 months) or closure of the protocol after 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by University of Aarhus at 1 site in Denmark.

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 7 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Dec 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 Denmark. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

Deuterium Metabolic Imaging (time frame: Imaging repeated twice with ~10 weeks between them.). 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 7 Dec 2023.
