Spectral Analysis Probe to Identify Glioblastoma Cells

Study Purpose

This is a pilot, observational study to evaluate the intraoperative sensitivity of the Chaos Wand in detecting tumor tissue with glioblastoma disease.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or Female and over 18 years of age. 2. Patients with histologically proven GBM who are newly diagnosed and eligible to undergo surgical treatment or patients who are suspected of having glioblastoma on pre-operative imaging which is subsequently confirmed by histopathology following tumor resection. 3. Patients must be able to understand and willing to sign the informed consent document.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients with absence of glioblastoma. 2. Patients who are not undergoing tumor resection. 3. Patients who have prior brain radiotherapy. 4. Patients who have prior systemic chemotherapy. 5. Patients who are not willing to sign the informed consent and agree to participate. 6. Patients who are pregnant or nursing

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03293888
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This is a pilot study to investigate if the Chaos Wand Spectral Diagnosis Probe can be used to identify Glioblastoma (GBM) cancer cells in patients undergoing standard surgical resection. Eligible patients who have consented to the use of the Chaos Wand will be scheduled for surgery as standard cancer care for GBM. During the surgical procedure, the Chaos Wand Spectral Diagnosis Probe will be utilized. Fifteen intraoperative readings and signal recordings of GBM tissue will be taken. The wand will only be used in areas that have already been deemed in need of resection due to GBM disease. Each site identified for spectral analysis will be marked. The wand does not come into contact with the brain at any point during this procedure. Following surgical resection of the GBM tumor, tissue will be collected from the same 15 sites where the Chaos Wand was used. The pathology report will be compared with the results of spectral analysis.
