Trial summary

Malignant gliomas are aggressive tumours with poor prognosis despite the current multimodal treatment. Hence, there is a clear need for new, effective therapies, among which immune therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option. Read more about this study

About this study

Malignant gliomas are aggressive tumours with poor prognosis despite the current multimodal treatment. Hence, there is a clear need for new, effective therapies, among which immune therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option.

When interpreting follow-up magnetic resonance (MR) examinations, the radiologist is often confronted with images that are difficult to interpret with the conventional anatomical imaging techniques. The difference between tumour relapse and therapy-mediated changes is not always distinctive.

In this project, the investigators attempt to characterize the inflammatory response with parameters from advanced MRI techniques like MR spectroscopy, MR perfusion imaging and MR-diffusion imaging. These techniques allow characterization of cellular properties like metabolism and tissue structure respectively. Doing so, the investigators will monitor disease evolution in order to timely detect treatment failure, thereby allowing appropriate switch in patient management.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Malignant Gliomas, run by Universitaire Ziekenhuizen KU Leuven at 2 sites in Belgium.

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 4 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 3 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. 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.

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 3 Jul 2024.
