Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of EPI-CATCHER is to outline the clinical potential of multiparametric quantitative MRI (mqMRI) and of GABA-edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (GABA-MRS), combined with machine learning tools, as imaging biomarkers to localize and delineate the EZ.


Description:

After informed consent, patient candidate to resection surgery will undergo two extra MRI sessions before surgery: one for multiparametric quantitative MRI (mqMRI) and one for GABA-edited magnetic resonance spectroscopy (GABA-MRS) In parallel, a group of healthy volunteers will also undergo the two MRI sessions described above, to collect reference data.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary EZmri vs EZsdt The correlation coefficient between the Dice similarity coefficient (= 2 * the Area of Overlap between EZMRI and EZsdt divided by the total number of pixels in EZMRI and EZsdt) and the reduction in seizure frequency (= seizure frequency one year after surgery / seizure frequency at inclusion). 5 years
Secondary mqMRI : T1 (ms) Compare, for each patient, the mqMRI parameter values measured in the EZsdt with the mean mqMRI parameter values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
Secondary mqMRI : T2 (ms) Compare, for each patient, the mqMRI parameter values measured in the EZsdt with the mean mqMRI parameter values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
Secondary mqMRI : Mean Diffusivity (s/mm²) Compare, for each patient, the mqMRI parameter values measured in the EZsdt with the mean mqMRI parameter values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
Secondary mqMRI : Cerebral Blood Volume (%) Compare, for each patient, the mqMRI parameter values measured in the EZsdt with the mean mqMRI parameter values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
Secondary mqMRI : Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability (%) Compare, for each patient, the mqMRI parameter values measured in the EZsdt with the mean mqMRI parameter values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
Secondary GABA Compare, for each patient, the amplitude of GABA and other metabolites available using proton MRS (N-acetyl aspartate and N-acetyl-aspartyl-glutamate (NAA) Creatine and phosphocreatine (Cr), Choline (Cho), Myo-inositol, myo-inositol-monophosphate and glycine (mI), Glutamine (Gln), glutamate (Glu), Lipids (LipX), Lactate (Lac)) in the EZsdt with the mean values obtained in the same region across the healthy volunteers 5 years
