Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

G-SUMIT is a pilot, phase II,randomized controlled trial to evaluate the feasibility of performing a large-scale trial in patients undergoing surgery for first-time diagnosis of high grade glioma (HGG) in a surgically favorable anatomical location to answer the following:

Does extending the margin of resection 1 cm beyond visible enhanced volume on MRI result in (a) an increase in overall survival? (b) result in a similar rate of "clinically-significant" neurological worsening during 30 days post surgery and quality of life at 6 and 12 months?

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This pilot, multi-centre, pragmatic randomized controlled trial is planned to simulate all aspects of a larger definitive trial comparing conventional versus supramarginal tumor resection at the time of the first surgical resection of HGG in appropriately selected patients. This pilot will help determine the ability to meet pre-specified criteria in identification, recruitment, and patient allocation, allow for refinement of eligibility criteria for optimal recruitment, confirm safety of procedure and ability to retain participants for the duration of the trial. Preliminary efficacy data will inform sample size calculations and estimation of resources required for the envisioned larger definitive trial.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Supramarginal resection (intervention arm)

Planned resection beyond the Gadolinium (GAD)-enhancing region extending to either at least 1 cm into non-enhancing tissue, or the nearest non-enhancing sulcal boundary/ventricle wall if these structures are closer than 1 cm.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Supramarginal resection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Tissue removal beyond the GAD-enhancing region extending to either at least 1 cm into non-enhancing tissue, or the nearest non-enhancing sulcal boundary/ventricle wall if these structures are closer than 1 cm.

Conventional (i.e. GTR) resection

Planned resection of ≥95% of the GAD-enhancing regions of tumor without expanding the resection beyond this margin.

Group Type OTHER

Conventional (i.e. GTR) resection

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Planned resection of ≥95% of the GAD-enhancing regions of tumor without expanding the resection beyond this margin.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Radiographic evidence of a GAD-enhancing intra-axial tumor consistent with HGG;
2. Age ≥18 ≤ 85 years;

5. Patient or substitute decision maker (SDM) able to understand and consent to study participation.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Multi-focal tumor, gliomatosis cerebri (≥3 lobes of the brain affected), tumors crossing the midline, or leptomeningeal enhancement;
2. Previous craniotomy for tumor excision (stereotactic biopsy is permitted);
3. Known metastatic cancer;
