Study of Gamma-Knife Radiosurgery Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Spectroscopy for Recurrent Glioma

NCT01011231 · Status: TERMINATED · Phase: PHASE2 · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 1

Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy, of treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma using Gamma-Knife Radiosurgery (GKS) to target a tumor volume defined by a combination of gadolinium enhancement and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). This is a single center, Phase II trial. A total of 40 glioblastoma patients will be enrolled into the primary arm of the trial. In addition, a minimum of 10 patients with recurrent anaplastic (grade III) gliomas and a minimum of 10 patients with recurrent low-grade (grade II) gliomas will be enrolled into exploratory arms.

The investigators hypothesize that the use of a combination of gadolinium enhancement and elevated Cho:NAA ratio via MRS to determine the treatment target volume for Gamma Knife may be an effective way to treat focally-recurrent glioblastoma.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Gamma Knife Radiosurgery

Patient treatments will be planned with the Gamma Plan software. The dose will be prescribed to the isodose surface which encompasses the target volume within a range of 50-60% based on a local maximum of 100%. Radiosurgery dose will be prescribed based on volume within the prescribed isodose surface (not to exceed 18 cc)
