Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - Individuals between 18-75 years - Newly diagnosed, untreated, contrast enhancing presumed high-grade glioma - KPS * 60 - Preoperative intention to perform gross-total resection of the enhancing tumor - Written informed consent conform ICH-GCP
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Tumours crossing the midline basal ganglia, cerebellum, or brain stem prohibiting gross total resection - Multifocal contrast enhancing lesions - Pre-existing neurological deficit (e.g. aphasia, hemiparesis) due to neurological diseases (e.g. stroke) - Inability to give consent because of dysphasia or language barrier
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primarystudy parameter/endpoint * Extent of resection (gross-total resection or sub-total resection) Gross-total resection: No residual contrast enhancement on post-operative MRI scans (within 48 hours); 100% of all enhancing tumor has been resected when compared to initial enhancing tumor on pre-operative MRI scans. Sub-total resection: Residual contrast enhancement on post-operative MRI scans (within 48 hours); | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters/endpoints * Extent of resection (%) Initial and residual tumor volume (cm3) of all enhancing tissue on respectively pre and post-operative MRI scans will be volumetrically assessed. The extent of resection (%) will be calculated with the formula: (initial tumor volume-residual tumor volume)/initial tumor volume x 100. * Neurological status (KPS) (Pre-operative and post-operative on 1, 3, 6 months) 32 * Quality of Life (QLQ-C30 and QLQ-BN 20 questionnaire) (Pre and post-operative on 1, 3, 6 months) * Surgery associated neurological deficits (National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale, NIHSS) (Pre-operative and 1 month post operative) * Adverse Events (classified according to the US National Cancer Institute common toxicity criteria version 4.0) * Time of survival (days) | — |
