Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Part 1: Quantified rates of brain glucose metabolism; a scan is successfull if<br /><br>an SNR>5 for 2H-Glx is reached<br /><br><br /><br>Part 2a: Quantified levels of phospholipid metabolites and glucose metabolism<br /><br>in the tumor compared to those levels in healthy brain tissue from the same<br /><br>subject<br /><br><br /><br>Part 2b: Quantified levels of glucose metabolism in the epileptogenic cortex<br /><br>(determined by either a structural lesion, PET or neurophysiology) compared to<br /><br>healthy brain tissue from the same subject</p><br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<p>Part 1:<br /><br>Optimal dose of [6,6*-2H2]-glucose<br /><br>Optimal timing between administration of [6,6*-2H2]-glucose and static DMI<br /><br>Plasma glucose levels<br /><br>Deuterium enrichment of plasma water, lactate and glucose<br /><br><br /><br>Part 2a:<br /><br>Change in glucose metabolism and phospholipid levels in response to treatment<br /><br>pH levels of the tissue, assed by 31P MRSI<br /><br>redox status of the tissue, assed by 31P MRSI<br /><br>Change in tumor volume, measured on conventional imaging according to RECIST<br /><br>criteria<br /><br><br /><br>Part 2b:<br /><br>Glucose metabolism compared to FDG-PET metabolism<br /><br>Glucose metabolism in areas with invasive neurophysiological abnormalities</p><br>
