Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Stage 1 Primary Outcome: to demonstrate the feasibility of using DTI and iUS in addition to standard of care for neurosurgery using a combination of qualitative and quantitative data to prove workflow capability at each site.

    Sites are qualitatively assessed through a standardisation stage, providing feedback to enable learning and ensure the workflow is followed. Sites with satisfactory data will "progress" and pass into Stage 2. The measures assessed in combination are: 1. Operation length, in normal range for this surgery. 2. Use of DTI neuronavigation \& iUS to achieve maximal safe tumour resection without major neurological deficit, measured by getting clear, relevant images for the DTI \& US scans, and accurate pre-operative tractography. 3. Extent of tumour resection (cm³ remaining) on postoperative MRI scan. 4. Surgical Complications/Serious Adverse Events-measured from recorded post-operative complications and a 6-month notes check to ensure patient safety. If the assessment panel is satisfied with the data after \~3 recruits, a site will progress into Stage 2 of the trial, the RCT. Data will be analysed for Stage 1 once all sites have progressed through into Stage 2 of the trial.

    Measured 6 weeks post-surgery

  • Stage 2 Primary Outcome: to assess whether additional imaging to standard of care changes Deterioration Free Survival (DFS) (Where deterioration relates to global health status only)

    This is measured by a composite of: 1. Change in global health status domain of the QLQ-C30 questionnaire (Quality of Life Questionnaire Cancer) from baseline to final questionnaire completion. Questionnaires are administered at baseline, 6 weeks, then every 3 months until 24months. 2. Progression Free Survival (PFS). This is measured by radiological tumour progression on imaging, which is taken 3-months post-op and 3-monthly thereafter. 3. Overall Survival (OS) with an event defined as either deterioration, progression or death.

    Measured from baseline up to 24 months

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Stage 2: To assess if additional intraoperative imaging changes DFS where deterioration relates to physical and social functioning, and motor and communication dysfunction

    Measured from baseline up to 24 months

  • Stage 2: To assess whether additional intraoperative imaging to standard of care changes time to deterioration

    Measured from baseline up to 24 months

  • Stage 2: To assess whether additional intraoperative imaging to standard of care improves Overall Survival (OS)

    To be recorded at 24 months

  • Stage 2: To assess whether additional intraoperative imaging (DTI and iUS*) to standard of care (Neuronavigation and intraoperative 5-ALA) changes Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    MRI at 6 months post-op., and then 3 monthly up to 24 months or an MRI performed outside protocol if patient is symptomatic

  • Stage 2: To assess whether additional intraoperative imaging (DTI and iUS*) to standard of care (Neuronavigation and intraoperative 5-ALA) changes the extent of tumour resection

    Measured 1 week post-surgery

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Tertiary Mechanistic Objectives (on a sub set of participants): assessment of the sensitivity and specificity of the anatomico-spatial location of DTI fibre tracts compared to Standard of Care

    6 weeks post-surgery

  • Tertiary Mechanistic Objectives (on a sub set of participants): assessment of the sensitivity and specificity of iUS to identify the tumour boundary when compared with 5-ALA.

    6 weeks post-surgery

Study Arms (2)

Additional pre- and intra-operative imaging

EXPERIMENTAL

Surgery to resect the GB using Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) and intraoperative Ultrasound (iUS) (navigated iUS where available) in addition to standard care (i.e. neuronavigation based on preoperative MRI and intraoperative use of 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA))

Other: Additional pre- and intra-operative imaging

Standard of Care

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The comparator is standard care as per current NICE guidelines (i.e. neuronavigation based on preoperative MRI and intraoperative use of 5-ALA).

Other: Standard of Care

Interventions

Neuronavigation and intraoperative 5-ALA

Standard of Care

Additional DTI scan during routine pre-operative tumour MRI scan, additional use of intraoperative ultrasound in addition to normal to standard of care (Neuronavigation and intraoperative 5-ALA)

Also known as: DTI, IUS
Additional pre- and intra-operative imaging

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18-70 years
  • Neuro-oncology Multi-Disciplinary Team (MDT) decision that the imaging shows a primary GB tumour which is maximally resectable (attempted gross total resection of all enhancing tumour)
  • Patient is suitable for concomitant adjuvant radiotherapy and Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy or adjuvant TMZ at the time of MDT decision
  • Able to receive 5-ALA
  • Willing and able to give informed consent
  • Able to complete trial questionnaires, this may be with support where English is not their first language. (Stage 2 only)
  • Able to provide a proxy who is willing to complete questionnaires as requested (Stage 2 only).

You may not qualify if:

  • Midline/basal ganglia/cerebellum/brainstem GB
  • Multifocal GB
  • Recurrent GB
  • Suspected secondary GB
  • Contraindication to MRI
