Intraoperative Microdialysis During Neurosurgery for Central Nervous System Malignancies
Mayo Clinic
Summary
This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intraoperative microdialysis during neurosurgery for central nervous system malignancies. A biomarker is a measurable indicator of the severity or presence of disease state. Information collected in this study may help doctors to develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.
Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. Determine biomarkers of in situ gliomas across a diverse patient cohort using intra-operative microdialysis to sample extracellular metabolites. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Evaluate the yield and specificity of microdialysate D-2HG as a candidate tumor biomarker to differentiate between IDH-mutated and IDH-wildtype gliomas. II. Identify biomarkers of tumor-associated processes including brain edema, brain infiltration with non-enhancing tumor, and tumor-associated hypoxia or necrosis. III. Determine the contribution of blood-brain barrier disruption to metabolite abundan…
