Not Applicable
Suspended
Conditions
Gliomas, Malignant
Metastases to Brain
Interventions
Device: 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence-guided brain tumor resection
Device: Ultrasound guided brain tumor resection
Registration Number
NCT05475522
Lead Sponsor
Sklifosovsky Institute of Emergency Care
Brief Summary

Objective of the study is to determine whether intraoperative ultrasound guided resection of gliomas with contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging and brain metastases can achieve as high rate of gross total resection as fluorescence-guided surgery with 5-aminolevulinic acid

Detailed Description

Fluorescence with 5-aminolevulinic acid, fluorescein and intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are the most common modalities used to intraoperatively rate extent of brain tumor resection. Intraoperative sonography is another promising method of intraoperative visualization. It's advantages include possibility of real-time estimation of tumor remnants without disturbing of surgical workflow, opportunity to discover residual tumor under normal brain tissue and chipper cost. At this time there are no published results of randomized control trials comparing ultrasound and fluorescence-guided brain tumor resection.

Objective of this study is to determine whether intraoperative ultrasound guided resection of gliomas with contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging and brain metastases can achieve as high rate of gross total resection as 5-aminolevulinic acid fluorescence-guided surgery.

Participants of the study will be randomly operated using intraoperative ultrasound or fluorescence with 5-aminolevulinic acid. Extent of resection will be assessed in postoperative MRI by blinded radiologists

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Gross total resection (Yes or No)within 48 hours after surgery

No residual contrast enhancement in postoperative T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Motor function (in grades)within 10 days after surgery

Motor function is assessed in Medical Research Council scale

Speech function (in grades)within 10 days after surgery

Speech function is assessed in Hendrix scale (2017)

Karnofsky performance status (in percents)within 10 days after surgery

Assesses patients' possibilities to self-service in Karnofsky Performance Status scale

Extent of resection (in percents)within 48 hours after surgery

Extent of resection = (preoperative tumor volume - postoperative tumor volume) / preoperative tumor volume x 100

Cerebral complicationsFrom admission to intensive care unit after surgery till hospital discharge, up to 365 days
