Noninvasively Predicting Gene Status of Glioma (NPGSOG)

March 30, 2017 updated by: Tang-Du Hospital

Noninvasively Predicting Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Gene Status in Glioma by Amide Proton Transfer Imaging

Malignant gliomas are the most common and deadly primary brain tumors in adults. The clinical outcome of patients with glioblastoma depends on key molecular genetic alteration. Specifically, Isocitrate Dehydrogenase Gene Mutation, an independent favorable prognostic factor, serve as diagnostic and prognostic markers of glioma. Thus, accurate grading of a glioma is fundamental in order to determine the treatment strategy. Amide proton transfer (APT) imaging is a noninvasive molecular MRI technique based on chemical exchange saturation transfer mechanism that detects endogenous mobile proteins and peptides in biological tissues. Preliminary studies have shown that APT-weighted (APTw) signal intensity could serve as a new imaging biomarker, by revealing significantly higher signal intensities in the high-grade gliomas compared with the low-grade gliomas. The purpose of this study was to investigate the value of amide proton transfer imaging (APT) in the noninvasive evaluation of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene status in glioma.

Detailed Description

Materials and Methods:

The whole brain MRI examinations were performed on a 3.0-T MRI system (Discovery MR750, General Electric Medical System, Milwaukee, WI, USA) with an eight-channel head coil (General Electric Medical System). Conventional MRI, contrast-enhanced MRI, DWI and amide proton transferimaging were performed in regular sequence during the same examination. Finally, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted spin echo sequence was acquired in the transverse, sagittal, and coronal planes after intravenous administration of 0.01 mmol/kg gadodiamide (Omniscan; GE Healthcare, Co. Cork, Ireland).

MRI data processing and image analysis:

All data were transferred to a workstation (Advantage Workstation 4.6, General Electric Medical System, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA) for processing.The MR imaging of all the patients were assessed independently by two experienced neuroradiologist (HYC and YLF, who have 12 and 6 years of experience, respectively, in neurologic-oncologic imaging) who were blinded to the patient's information. Next, a region of interest (ROI) was drawn manually on the solid part of the tumor with the relatively higher signal intensity on APT image.

Statistical analysis:

Categorical data obtained from image were calculated using the Fisher's exact test. Quantitative data were denoted as the mean and standard deviation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) test was used to assess the normality of data distribution.APT-weighted (APTw) signal intensity were tested for differences between the IDH mutation and the IDH wild-type by using independent sample t test.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients with glioma
Consecutive patients with privious MRI scans or symptoms that suggested a cerebral mass, not yet receive treatment.
Other: MRI examination
A noninvasive medical diagnostic technique in which the absorption and transmission of high-frequency radio waves are analysed as they irradiate the hydrogen atoms in water molecules and other tissue components placed in a strong magnetic field. This computerized analysis provides a powerful aid to the diagnosis and treatment planning of many diseases, including cancer.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
APT image for assessing the gene alteration
Time Frame: 15 months
Prospectively acquire the APTw signal intensity to assess the efficiency for predicting the ATRX as prognostic or predictive biomarkers of gliomasloss/mutation, 1p/19q status, IDH1/2 gene mutations and MGMT promoter methylation
15 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
APT image for predicting the survival of glioma
