About this study

Official title: The Evolution of Safety and Efficacy of Neuroendoscopy Guided by Head-mounted Mixed Reality Technique Navigation System for Tumor Resection in Pineal Region and Brainstem: A Prospective, Randomized, Parallel-controlled Clinical Study

The pineal region and brainstem tumors are located at the central position of the cranial cavity, surrounded by important neural structures and venous systems, leading to challenges in preoperative diagnosis, adding uncertainty and complexity to treatment. For a long time, surgical treatment of pineal region and brainstem tumors has been one of the most challenging areas in neurosurgery.

With the development of neuroendoscopy and virtual endoscopy technologies, how to convert complex three-dimensional bone, vascular, and neural images into virtual endoscopic images and how to combine virtual endoscopy with neuro-navigation for endoscopic skull base surgery to provide high-quality guidance images for surgery has become an urgent new research issue.

The project team plans to develop a neuroendoscopy combined with a wearable mixed reality glasses navigation system, integrating the advantages of wearable glasses and existing surgical navigation systems.

This study aims to evaluate the role of mixed reality navigation systems in improving total resection and reducing major complications in patients with pineal region and brainstem tumors, as well as shortening surgical times.

Read the detailed description

The pineal region and brainstem tumors are located at the central position of the cranial cavity, surrounded by important neural structures and venous systems. They contain many crucial neural functional nuclei, making surgical exposure and resection difficult. Furthermore, the tumors in this region exhibit complex and diverse pathological types, including mixed tumors, leading to challenges in preoperative diagnosis, adding uncertainty and complexity to treatment. Pineal region tumors commonly cause obstructive hydrocephalus, resulting in severe preoperative intracranial hypertension symptoms, further complicating surgical management. For a long time, surgical treatment of pineal region and brainstem tumors has been one of the most challenging areas in neurosurgery.

With the development of neuroendoscopy and virtual endoscopy technologies, how to convert complex three-dimensional bone, vascular, and neural images into virtual endoscopic images and how to combine virtual endoscopy with neuro-navigation for endoscopic skull base surgery to provide high-quality guidance images for surgery has become an urgent new research issue.

The project team plans to develop a neuroendoscopy combined with a wearable mixed reality glasses navigation system, integrating the advantages of wearable glasses and existing surgical navigation systems. While ensuring the accuracy of the navigation system, the team aims to fundamentally change the output method of the system, enabling the surgical navigation system to go beyond mere validation of effects and truly play a role of "intuitive visual navigation." By holographically observing and tracking the relevant blood vessels and nerves in the patient's area, the team has achieved high-precision integration of virtual and real microanatomy structures, allowing for better and safer handling of deep-seated tumors under the endoscope. This study aims to evaluate the role of mixed reality navigation systems in improving total resection and reducing major complications in patients with pineal region and brainstem tumors, as well as shortening surgical times.

What participants receive

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

  • Conventinal Navigation System GroupDevice

    The preoperative planned model is projected onto the endoscopic display area in 3D using a mixed reality headset, accurately matching the actual anatomical structure and tissue displayed under the patient's endoscope to guide surgical resection of tumors.

What is being measured

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

  1. Surgical time

    From openning the dura mater to close it

    Measured: immedately after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Gross total resection rate

    Gross total was defined as 100% of tumor resection

    Measured: within 72 hours after surgery

  2. The incidence of complications

    new cranial nerve dysfunction, secondary surgery

    Measured: within 1 month after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conventinal Navigation System Group in people with Pineal Tumor and Brainstem Tumor, run by Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital.

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 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2024. 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?

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 Zeyang Li, M.D. (cqlizeyang@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Surgical time (time frame: immedately after surgery). 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 24 Jul 2024.
