About this study

Official title: Rapid Diagnosis of Molecular Biomarkers and Visualization of IDH Molecular Boundaries in Glioma Using Preoperative Magnetic Resonance Images, Intraoperative Ultrasound Signals and Intraoperative Ultrasound Images

The aim of this observational study is to enable rapid diagnosis of molecular biomarkers in patients during surgery by medical imaging and artificial intelligence models, to help clinicians with strategies to maximize safe resection of gliomas. The main questions it aims to answer are:

  1. To solve the current clinical shortcomings of intraoperative molecular diagnosis, which is time-consuming and complex, and enables rapid and automated molecular diagnosis of glioma, thus providing the possibility of personalized tumor resection plans.
  2. To implement a neuro-navigation platform that combines preoperative magnetic resonance images, intraoperative ultrasound signals and intraoperative ultrasound images to address real-time molecular boundary visualisation and molecular diagnosis for glioma, providing an approach to improve glioma treatment.

Participants will read an informed consent agreement before surgery and voluntarily decide whether or not to join the experimental group. they will undergo preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative ultrasound, and postoperative genotype identification. Their imaging data, genotype data, clinical history data, and pathology data will be used for the experimental study. The data collection process will not interrupt the normal surgical process.

Read the detailed description

BACKGROUND:

The extent of glioma resection is directly related to patient survival, and a combination of multiple imaging and molecular pathology imaging methods has been developed to achieve maximum safe resection. In this study, three types of data, preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, intraoperative ultrasound and molecular genotype, will be collected and combined to build an artificial intelligence imaging model to achieve maximum safe resection and prolong patient's life.

PLAN:

In order to achieve the goal of maximum safe resection, we plan to sequentially implement imaging-based molecular visualization techniques, and integrated guidance techniques through a combination of intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative magnetic resonance imaging, in order to address the two critical scientific issues of glioma molecular boundary visualization and intraoperative real-time molecular diagnosis. It can also help neurosurgeons to achieve complete glioma resection at the molecular level, maximizing patient survival time and providing another effective approach to improving glioma treatment.

PROCESS:

Participants will read an informed consent agreement before surgery and voluntarily decide whether or not to join the experimental group. They will undergo preoperative magnetic resonance imaging and intraoperative ultrasound to obtain magnetic resonance images, ultrasound images, and ultrasound radio-frequency signals. After surgery, the patient's tumor tissue samples will undergo specialist genetic testing to obtain multiple molecular diagnostic results, such as isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH), telomerase reverse transcriptase promoter (TERTp), the short arm chromosome 1 and the long arm of chromosome 19 (1p/19q), et al. Also, their imaging data, genotype data, clinical history data, and pathology data will be used for the experimental study.

The data collected from each patient will be performed in three steps as follows.

  1. Image translation and alignment of intraoperative ultrasound and preoperative MRI navigation across modalities for glioma.
  2. Multimodality imaging of IDH1/2 gene mutations from structural to molecular boundaries.
  3. Applied study of molecular boundary visualization. All the above information will be summarized and handed over to Fudan University to build an artificial intelligent model.

Compared with the previous gold standard glioma resection, this study adds intraoperative ultrasound, intraoperative multi-point tumor specimen sampling for IDH genotype identification during the surgery, and will collect relevant molecular imaging data, MRI data, intraoperative ultrasound data, clinical case data and pathology data from patients after the surgery. Intraoperative ultrasound is non-invasive, real-time and rapid, without adding additional operative time or risk of infection.

What participants receive

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

Study groups in NCT05656053
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Patients undergoing glioma removal surgeryPatients will undergo magnetic resonance examination before surgery, followed by rapid ultrasound acquisition of the tumor section by the surgeon during surgery and the resection of the tumor tissue for cryopreservation. After surgery, the tissue sample will be used for genetic sequencing and mass spectrometry to obtain molecular information. The data involved in the overall surgical procedure will be saved and used in this observational study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Accuracy rate, describing the number of correct people or correct regions predicted by the computer-aided algorithm as a proportion of the total sample.

    The accuracy rate has a value between 0 and 1, with higher values indicating a more reliable system.

    Measured: End of study (24 weeks)

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 2 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 17 Mar 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 China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?
