Filter by:Prospective, observational study aimed to investigate the specific hemostatic alterations in patients undergoing glial tumor resection.
This study is being conducted to help determine whether β-elemene as maintain treatment for complete remission patients of newly diagnosed malignant gliomas following standard treatment, is able to delay tumor growth, or impact how long people with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma.
This registry aims to collect clinical and radiologic information including detailed clinical, conventional MR and advanced MR imaging data of patients with brain gliomas. Advanced MR imaging may include diffusion-weighted imaging, perfusion-weighted imaging (dynamic susceptibility contrast, arterial spin labeling, dynamic contrast enhancement), and chemical exchange saturation transfer (CEST) imaging. This registry will describe course of disease and long-term outcomes of brain gliomas.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CAR-T cell immunotherapy in patients with MUC1 positive relapsed or refractory solid tumor.
This trial develops a non invasive diagnostic approach of IDH1 mutated gliomas combining mutation detection from free plasmatic DNA, D-2HG dosage in urine samples, and D-2HG detection by Brain Spectro MRI. In group 1 (25 patients), patients with presumed grade II-III gliomas candidate to surgery will undergo spectro MRI, plasma, urine dosages. Results will then be confronted to tumor mutational status and D-2HG. In group 2 (15 patients), patients with known IDH1 mutation will undergo spectro MRI, plasma, urine dosages overtime in order to correlate results with the response to treatment.
This is an open-label positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) study to investigate the diagnostic performance and evaluation efficacy of 68Ga-NOTA-Aca-BBN(7-14) in glioma patients. A single dose of 111-148 Mega-Becquerel (MBq) 68Ga-NOTA-Aca-BBN(7-14) will be injected intravenously. Visual and semiquantitative method will be used to assess the PET/CT images.
This study is about an experimental biomedical monocentric search concerning twelves patients presenting a infiltrative glioma of low rank OMS type II and realizing a surgery awakened on the site of the CHU of Montpellier. The objective of this search is to understand exactly how the electric impulses, delivered by the neurosurgeon to make a functional mapping of the brain during the surgery awakened by tumors infiltrates of low rank, propagate in this one and to identify the nervous networks inhibited by these electric impulses. Having verified the eligibility of the patients and having obtained their consent, they will be included in the study. Before the beginning of the surgery, the electroencephalography activity of the brain of every patient will be recorded. Before and after the surgical resection, the electrocorticography activity will be recorded. The collected data will then be analyzed, after the operation. Analyses will try to identify what we call potential evoked by the stimulation and which are small electric waves which appear after the electric stimulation was delivered.
This study is trying to learn and understand if the chemotherapy drug called carboplatin works as well as the standard therapy. The standard therapy for Low Grade Glioma (LGG) in children and young adults is using a combination of carboplatin and vincristine. Studies in children have shown that the use of carboplatin alone has promise of being just as effective for treating LGG as standard therapy. Additionally, this study will try to understand if treatment with carboplatin alone is associated with an improved quality of life for LGG patients and their families.
Sedation in the operating room, the Post Anesthesia Care Unit and the Intensive Care Unit is common and often necessary for patients with intracranial brain tumor. Repeated neurological function assessments is needed in those locations, especially in patients with tumors in or near eloquent regions, this is to monitor their neurologic performance to determine if there are alterations that require treatment. Some slowly infiltrative low-grade gliomas near eloquent regions do not show any detectable neurologic deficits, perhaps from reorganization, but with sedation by some sedatives such as benzodiazepine midazolam and anesthetic hypnotic propofol, the disease may seem much worse resulting in inappropriately aggressive treatment. This may be especially problematic in patients undergoing awake craniotomy for tumors in eloquent regions. This is a single-center perspective case-control study. Patients will be mildly sedated to keep them responsive and cooperative. Motor and sensory function will be evaluated before and after mild sedation. Specific benzodiazepine antagonist will be used if sedated by midazolam. The purpose of this study is to observe if commonly used benzodiazepine midazolam, anesthetic hypnotic propofol, and α-2 agonist dexmedetomidine exacerbate or unmask motor and sensory function in patients with intracranial eloquent area gliomas. Hypothesis: mild sedation can unmasks or exacerbate motor and sensory deficits in patients with eloquent area glioma but not in non-neurosurgical patients/healthy volunteers. If the neurologic deficits induced by benzodiazepine agonist, then can be reversed by flumazenil.
During neurosurgical resection of brain tumors within brain areas for motor control, it is important to monitor motor function. For this muscle motor evoked potentials are used. Those are elicited by transcranial and direct cortical stimulation. Motor responses are recorded from muscles. In neurosurgical procedures for spinal cord tumors, the same methods are used, but additionally motor activity is recorded from the spinal cord. This is called spinal motor evoked potentials. It is known that the relation between spinal and muscle motor evoked potentials helps to extent the resection of spinal cord tumors. This study implements the spinal motor evoked potential into brain tumor surgery and analyses the relationship between spinal and muscle motor evoked potentials. With this, detection of injury to the brain area for motor control might be discovered earlier and thus tumor resection can be performed safely.
