Novel Exoscope System for 5-ALA Fluorescence-Guided Surgery for Gliomas

Completed
Conditions
Glioma
Brain Tumor
Interventions
Device: Orbeye surgical videomicroscope
Registration Number
NCT04055688
Lead Sponsor
H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute
Brief Summary

5-ALA and the Orbeye surgical microscope are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved products. For this study, the Orbeye microscope imaging system is being used with special filters to visualize 5-ALA fluorescence. The FDA currently permits the use of these filters. The purpose of this study is to collect medical information before, during, and after standard treatment in order to better understand how to make this type of procedure accessible to patients.

This study is also being conducted to determine if use of the Orbeye equipped with these special filters improves the ability of the surgeon to remove brain tumors.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Compare Visualized Fluroescence within brain tumorsSurgery day one

6 tissue samples will be obtained intraoperatively for each patient and assessed for 5-ALA visualization (strongly positive.weakly positive/negative). Tissue samples will be submitted for pathological assessment to determine whether tumor cells are present or absent. Visualization results will be evaluated against the pathology results (gold standard) to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for 5-ALA visualizations with use of the ORBEYE system.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Volume of Residual tumorup to 48 hours after surgery

Residual tumor volume will be identified in post surgical MRI scans. Extent of resection will be compared to preoperative MRI scans.

Number of Patients experiencing Adverse EventsUp to 16 days after surgery

Patients will be assessed for neurological and general side effects/toxicities 7-16 days after surgery.
