Intraoperative Fluorescence of Ganglogliomas and Neuroepithelial Dysembryoplastic Tumors (FLUOGOD)

May 31, 2019 updated by: Rennes University Hospital

Intraoperative Fluorescence of Gangliogliomas and Neuroepithelial Dysembryoplastic Tumors

One of the key issues of tumour brain surgeries is to clearly define the borders of the tumor. The investigators proposed to evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative fluorescein guidance. Patients will be identified from the list of patients operated on under fluorescence to collect clinical datas. Surgical videos will be analyzed to assess the presence of intraoperative fluorescence and its subjectively judged intensity. MRI data will be extracted from the radiological reports to assess quality extraction. No additional data will be produced

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

Gangliogliomas typically present as a slow-growing, cystic mass taking contrast, while dysembryoplastic neuro-epithelial tumors commonly show microcystic patterns, inconstant contrast-enhancement and are preferentially located on the internal face of the temporal lobe. The cornerstone of the treatment of these two entities remains surgery, as it provides good oncological outcomes and control of seizures. Surgical resection keeps a major role for these tumors. Thus, one of the key issues is to clearly define the borders of the tumor during surgery, a point of considerable importance for these curable lesions. Then, the investigators proposed to evaluate the feasibility of intraoperative fluorescein guidance, a technique based on the staining of blood-brain barrier breakdown areas with fluorescein. Patients will be identified from the list of patients operated on under fluorescence maintained by the department since the acquisition of the technique. Clinical datas will be collected and surgical videos will be analyzed to assess the presence of intraoperative fluorescence and its subjectively judged intensity (absent, weak, medium, strong). MRI data (quality of excision: total, subtotal or partial according to usual criteria) will be extracted from the radiological reports. No additional data will be produced

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Seven patients (5 men, 2 women, mean age 30 year-old) underwent fluorescein-guided resection of gangliogliomas (5/7; 4 WHO Grade I, 1 WHO Grade III) and DNT (2/7).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Over 18 years old patient
  • Fluoroguided removal of a histologically proven Ganglioglioma or Dysembryoplastic Neuroepithelial Tumors between 2015-2018
  • Surgical video available

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Absence of surgical video
  • Adults who are subject to legal protection (protection of justice, guardianship, guardianship)
  • Patient objecting to the use of their data

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
Number of Intraoperative tumor fluorescence
Time Frame: 2 months
Number of patients which present intraoperative tumor fluorescence. Fluorescence will be assessed using surgical videos.
2 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
Number of allergic events
Time Frame: 2 months
Number of allergic events during fluorescein-based surgery
2 months
Percentage of excised tumour volume
Time Frame: 2 months
Percentage of excised tumour volume. Quality of excision on the post-operative MRI control according to the volume of the remaining pathological contrast intake (complete, subtotal or partial)
2 months
Number of epilepsy events after surgery
Time Frame: 2 months
Occurence of postoperative epilepsy events using Engels classification. (Class I: Free of disabling seizures, Class II: Rare disabling seizures ("almost seizure-free"), Class III: Worthwhile improvement, Class IV: No worthwhile improvement)
2 months

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (Actual)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
July 15, 2018

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
