NCT05386043
This study is investigating how brain tumors might mutate over time, and whether new brain imaging tools like MRI and PET can predict these mutations.
NCT07173829
BORDEAUX-GLIO is a prospective, monocentric study which will describe the molecular, immune and metabolic pathways involved in the progression and relapse of glioblastoma, using blood and tumor samples from patients who have undergone surgery for newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma in the center.
NCT01811121
Glioblastoma is the most frequent primary malignant brain tumor in adults (3,000 new cases per year) and is characterized by a poor prognosis (median survival 12 months). Treatment is based mainly on surgical excision as complete as possible followed by an additional radiochemotherapy. The prognosis depends mainly on the quality of resection when it is macroscopically complete. Different techniques to support the surgical resection have been developed over the past 20 years. The reference technique is currently the intraoperative neuronavigation for guiding excision by matching the intraoperative tumor boundaries with those of the preoperative MRI. Its main drawback is the loss of precision during the resection related to changes in anatomical limits of the tumor. The per-operative fluorescence-guided surgery (FGS) is an innovative alternative technique to support the surgical resection. The 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA), a molecule absorbed by the patient before surgery is captured specifically by the tumor cells and transformed into a fluorochrome revealed intraoperatively by a light source length adapted wave with a set of lenses included in the microscope. Resection is thus guided by this fluorescence whose disappearance translates complete tumor resection. Its interest is twofold: * Increase the percentage of complete tumor resection. * Improve disease-free survival and overall survival. The objective of the study is to compare the FGS to the intraoperative neuronavigation for the resection of glioblastoma, on a medical and economical level through a randomized, prospective, multicenter trial. The annual number of patients likely to benefit of this technique in France is estimated at 2200 new cases.
