MR-guided LITT Therapy in Patients With Primary Irresectable Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

Objective: In preparation of a randomized controlled trial, the investigators aim to assess pilot data on technical feasibility and safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) at Radboud University Medical centre and to assess practical feasibility of a randomized study in patients with primary irresectable glioblastoma, as compared with standard of care. Study design: Prospective randomized pilot study. Randomization stopped (amendment September 2nd, 2021), Study population: 20 patients aged >= 18 with radiologically suspected diagnosis of primary glioblastoma and contra-indication for surgical resection. Intervention: Patients will be randomized to receive either (i) biopsy and LITT (n=10) or (ii) biopsy alone (n=10).

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.

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.

NCT04596930
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.
