Fluorescence Guided Focal Cortical Dysplasia Surgery (FLUOFOCODYS)

15 juni 2026 bijgewerkt door: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, with one of the highest morbidity rates of all diseases. Despite the development of new anticonvulsant drugs, around a third of patients suffer from drug-resistant epilepsy (RPE). The onset of RPE can be lengthy, prolonging the period during which affected patients live with seizures that have a negative impact on their quality of life. Epilepsy surgery can be a curative treatment, and can enable anticonvulsant medication to be discontinued, optimizing quality of life and cognitive development. In addition, as it has been shown that the prolonged duration of epilepsy prior to surgery has an impact on the occurrence of postoperative seizures, early surgery is increasingly being considered. Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is the leading cause of focal lesional epilepsy and is generally drug-resistant. Good postoperative seizure results after surgical resection are strongly linked to complete resection of the dysplastic tissue. Consequently, accurate localization and precise delineation of FCD lesions are crucial during surgery. Currently, the extent of surgical resection is based primarily on preoperative examination, as the macroscopic appearance of dysplastic tissue does not differ from normal cortex. The various intraoperative techniques available to improve the quality of excision (neuronavigation, ultrasound, intraoperative MRI and intraoperative guidance by fluorescence microscopy) all have their limitations. In this context, new intraoperative tools are needed to help the neurosurgeon delineate lesions during surgery. Intraoperative fluorescence spectroscopy is used for surgical guidance of gliomas and other brain pathologies, and has demonstrated its ability to characterize pathological tissues. DCFs exhibit metabolic differences that can also be detected by 5-amino-levulinic acid (5-ALA)-induced protoporphyrin IX (PpIX) fluorescence intraoperatively. Indeed, in some patients who underwent surgery after a diagnosis of glioma, fluorescence was observed even though histological analysis classified the excised tissue as DCF. What's more, glioma and DCF share a common feature: the mitochondria of affected cells are deficient in complex IV. Cytochrome c oxidase (CCO) is largely involved in mitochondrial complex IV, and NAD is a central metabolite involved in redox reactions within cells. Both metabolites (CCO and NAD) can be visualized intraoperatively by optical and fluorescence spectroscopy.

FLUOFOCODYS is a prospective, non-comparative, single-center, human drug pilot clinical trial. 5 patients will be included.

Gedetailleerde beschrijving

Primary objective of FLUOFOCODYS study is to measure the fluorescence of biomarkers of focal epileptic lesions by intraoperative fluorescence spectroscopy.

The secondary objectives are as follows:

  1. To compare the measurement of FCD volume between multimodal high-resolution MRI (HRM) and standard MRI.
  2. To assess the concordance of FCD measurements between multimodal high-resolution MRI (HRM) and standard MRI.
  3. Evaluate the correlation between fluorescence spectroscopy and SpiderMass measurements on the collected tissue sample.
  4. Describe any adverse events that occurred after treatment up to the end of study participation.

The hypothesis of this project is that intraoperative fluorescence spectroscopy could robustly measure 5-ALA-induced protoporphyrin IX fluorescence in FCD and could ultimately aid FCD surgery. Thus, to understand intraoperative biomarker fluorescence spectroscopy in DCF, preoperative MRI and postoperative histology are crucial. This will enable MRI-informed intraoperative fluorescence spectroscopy. These comparative measurements will be completed with SpiderMass technology (metabo-lipidomic mass spectrometry). The effectiveness of intraoperative tools could therefore be assessed prior to surgery, which could have an impact on the therapeutic decision to proceed with surgery.
