About this study

Official title: Advanced Diffusion MRI to Differentiate Tumor Recurrence From Pseudoprogression in Patients With Glioblastoma and Brain Metastases- AiD GLIO Pilot Trial

This pilot study investigates whether advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (ADW-MRI) can differentiate between true tumor progression (TP) and a pseudoprogression (PsP) in patients with glioblastoma (GBM) or brain metastases.

Read the detailed description

Advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (ADW-MRI) offer the opportunity of higher sensitivity towards subtle tissue changes associated with increased specificity relating to damage of different tissue components of the central nervous system (CNS). Within the framework of this study, conventional follow up MRI will be complemented by ADW-MRI in case of suspected tumor recurrence and possible surgical resection of the suspicious tissue. In the case of surgical resection, the histopathological findings will be correlated to the findings of the ADW-MRI. In the depicted pilot phase, the feasibility of the described protocol will be examined and the data concerning correlations between standard histopathologic and genetic workup of the resected tissue and the results concerning tissue features from ADW-MRI will be analyzed.

What participants receive

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

  • Advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (ADW-MRI)Diagnostic test

    An advanced diffusion weighted MRI-sequence will be performed in addition to the routine MRI-diagnostics. This will require the patient to be scanned for additional 30 minutes in a separate MRI-scanner. This technique offers the opportunity of higher sensitivity towards subtle tissue changes associated with increased specificity relating to damage of different tissue components of the CNS. In the case of surgical resection, the histopathological findings will be correlated to the findings of the ADW-MRI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of ADW-MRI-findings to histopathological findings

    Correlations between standard histopathologic workup of the resected tissue and the results concerning tissue features from ADW-MRI are analyzed (descriptive analysis))

    Measured: one time assessment at baseline

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Advanced diffusion-weighted MRI (ADW-MRI) in people with Glioblastoma (GBM), run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 2 inclusion and 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Jan 2025. 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 Switzerland. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Dominik Cordier, PD Dr. med. (+41 61 26 56 42, dominik.cordier@usb.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of ADW-MRI-findings to histopathological findings (time frame: one time assessment at baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 29 Jan 2025.
