Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy for Brain Tumors

Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Low Grade Glioma (LGG), High Grade Glioma (HGG)
Interventions
Procedure: confocal endomicroscopy with the CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology)
Registration Number
NCT02240758
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Confocal Laser Endomicroscopy (CLE) could be a useful tool for real-time diagnosis of brain lesions (initial diagnosis or follow-up post resection to check for residual dysplasia) and real-time assessment of resections margins during surgery. Probe-based CLE using the CELLVIZIO® has never been used for glioma surgical guided resection. Before assessing the potential of this technique in improving surgical resection outcome, a feasability study has to be performed.

GroupInterventionDescription
surgical removal of the tumors+stereotaxic biopsyconfocal endomicroscopy with the CELLVIZIO® system (Mauna Kea technology)-
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To demonstrate the technical feasibility of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies.End of the surgical procedure

The technical feasibility will be assessed by the capacity of the CELLVIZIO® system to provide microscopic images of healthy tissue and lesions suspected with malignancy and to match those images with classical histologies.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To demonstrate the safety of endomicroscopic imaging during brain tumors (gliomas, meningiomas, metastasis) removal with an open approach (classic neurosurgical procedures) and biopsies.14 days after inclusion

Safety will be assessed by the number, type and severity of recorded adverse events.
