Noninvasive detection of IDH mutations in gliomas using MRI

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Markers of Glioma Genomics

Not applicable Interventional Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France · NCT05700071

This study is trying to see if a special MRI can help find IDH mutations in brain tumors called gliomas to better guide treatment for patients with these tumors.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial focuses on the noninvasive detection of isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) mutations in gliomas through 1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS). It aims to identify the accumulation of D-2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), a biomarker associated with IDH-mutated gliomas, which can aid in patient management and treatment decisions. The study will include patients with either probable or histologically confirmed low-grade gliomas, assessing their eligibility based on specific criteria. The trial is conducted at Hôpital Pitié Salpêtrière in Paris, France.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include individuals with probable or confirmed grade II/III gliomas who are scheduled for surgery or have not received prior treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with contraindications to MRI or those with gliomas that do not exhibit IDH mutations may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a noninvasive method for diagnosing and monitoring gliomas, leading to improved patient outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in using MRS for detecting metabolic changes in gliomas, suggesting potential success for this approach.
