About this trial

This clinical trial aims to investigate the efficiency and safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) in recurrent high-grade glioma (rHGG) patients.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* The LITT would increase the progression-free survival and overall survival of rHGG patients compared to other treatments. * The LITT is safe and applicable to rHGG patients Participants will be randomized to the intervention group (LITT) or control group at a ratio of 2:1. The intervention group patients will receive LITT. The control group will be treated with any other treatment.

The primary outcome of this trial is progression-free survival. The estimated sample size is 135, 90 in the LITT group and 45 in the control group.

Eligibility criteria

Treatments tested in this trial

  • LITT

    Device

    The patients in the intervention group will receive LITT, other treatments, including systematic therapy and radiology therapy, would be not restricted except the craniotomy of resection before tumor progression or emergency. The patient is supposed to receive LITT post-randomization within 7 days.

  • Control

    Other intervention

    The patients in the control group will receive the best medical management under guidelines except LITT before tumor progression. Craniotomy will not be restricted,
