  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: All cases of patients of supratentorial high grade gliomas that fullfill the selection criteria that will be admitted in the department of neurosurgery in Assuit university hospital. (Non propability sample size) with expected size of 28 patients starting from 01/07/2019 to 15/06/2021.

Additionally, the competence of follow-up will be approved by imaging and medical records.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients who will undergo surgical excision of the supratentorial high grade gliomas at the time of study (two years).
  • Denovo disease for the first time.
  • Any age

Who cannot join

  • Low-grade Gliomas.
  • Infratentorial high-grade gliomas.
  • Past history of gliomas.
  • Patients who are unfit for any neurosurgical interventions.
  • Patients who do not receive their adjuvant standard therapy.

About this study

Prospective randomized controlled clinical trials (single arm study) of surgical treatment modalities for supratentorial high grade gliomas within the next two years.

Read the detailed description

Supratentorial high grade gliomas are for surgical resection in any case according to many factors.

Investigators will compare the outcomes/survival rate and clinical outcome of the different resection types (Total, near total, subtotal/debulking) of supratentorial high grade gliomas according to the clinical condition and comorbidities of the patient, the location and morphology of the lesion, the grading of lesions, and the clinical experience of the neurosurgeon.

Being tested
Supratentorial high grade gliomas resection.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Supratentorial high grade gliomas resection.Procedure or surgery

    Total, near total or subtotal/debulking resection of the brain supratentorial high grade gliomas

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical picture using Modified Rankin's Scale (mRS).

    The changes in clinical condition of the patients will be assessed using Modified Rankin's Scale (mRS) before and after treatment.

    The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death. 0 - No symptoms.

    1. - No significant disability. Able to carry out all usual activities, despite some symptoms.
    2. - Slight disability. Able to look after own affairs without assistance, but unable to carry out all previous activities.
    3. - Moderate disability. Requires some help, but able to walk unassisted.
    4. - Moderately severe disability. Unable to attend to own bodily needs without assistance, and unable to walk unassisted.
    5. - Severe disability. Requires constant nursing care and attention, bedridden, incontinent.
    6. - Dead.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Recurrence or increased residual

    Recurrence of the tumor

    Measured: within 3 months after treatment

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Amr Badary (00201023310102 ext. 00201023310102, amr.badary@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical picture using Modified Rankin's Scale (mRS). (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03997136, which also lists 5 linked publications.

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 Aug 2019.
