About this trial

This clinical trial evaluates the use of microdialysis catheters during surgery to collect biomarkers, and studies the feasibility of intra- and post-operative 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 develop new strategies to better diagnose, monitor, and treat brain tumors.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of adverse events

Will be assessed by evaluating the proportion of patients who: (2) develop persistent adverse events deemed related (possibly, probably, definitely) to the insertion or use of microdialysate catheters. Attribution of neurologic deficit will typically be considered unlikely unless there is evidence of intra-operative intracranial hemorrhage that the surgeon deems to be attributable to use of the microdialysis catheter. Adverse events will be measured by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events 5.0.

Time frame
Up to 42 days
2

Targeted metabolomics

Metabolites within each region of tumor to brain-adjacent-to tumor within a patient compared. Metabolites from patients without central nervous system malignancies averaged across the epileptic foci group and descriptively compared to the areas from patients with gliomas.

Time frame
Up to 42 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Microdialysate D-2HG

Concentrations of D-2HG in microdialysate will be descriptively compared between patients with IDH mutated gliomas and those with IDH wildtype gliomas.

Time frame
Up to 42 days
2

Non-enhancing (FLAIR)- region metabolites

Metabolites of non-glioma, edema-associated FLAIR region of metastatic tumors descriptively compared to those within non-enhancing FLAIR gliomas.

Time frame
Up to 42 days
3

Necrotic core metabolites

The relative contribution of tumor cellularity versus blood-brain barrier disruption to metabolite production and loss determined by comparing metabolites within the necrotic tumor to those found within the enhancing tumor and brain -adjacent-to-tumor.

Time frame
Up to 42 days
