Study Description

Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the treatment regimen of using Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) and Hypo-fractionated Radiation Therapy to treat patients with recurrent gliomas.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Glioblastoma Brain Tumor Glioma Neoplasms Device: Procedure: LITT Radiation: Hypo-Fractionated Radiation Therapy Not Applicable

Detailed Description:
Radiation therapy is preferably used as an adjunct to surgery for patients with a newly diagnosed or recurrent glioblastoma. LITT offers an alternative to surgical resection, and due to its minimally invasive nature, does not delay initiating radiation therapy. Another advantage of LITT prior to radiation therapy is the ability to obtain a tissue diagnosis of recurrent tumor prior to initiating radiation therapy.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Experimental: LITT with Hypofractionated radiation therapy
Laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) followed by hypo-fractionated radiation therapy, 35Gy/10 fractions.
 Device: Procedure: LITT
This procedure is done under MRI guidance and employs low-powered thermal energy to achieve tumor ablation through coagulation.
Other Name: Laser Interstitial thermal therapy

Radiation: Hypo-Fractionated Radiation Therapy
Treatments will be delivered once daily on consecutive treatment days (typically 5 fractions per week). Radiation therapy simulation is to be performed within 10 days of the LITT procedure.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Adverse Events [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    To complete protocol treatment without undue treatment-related acute toxicity in recurrent or progressive glioma subjects undergoing LITT followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free survival at 6 months [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    To describe progression-free survival rate in subjects with recurrent or progressive gliomas treated with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy

  2. Median progression-free survival [ Time Frame: 2 Years ]
    To describe median progression-free survival rate in subjects with recurrent or progressive gliomas treated with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy.

  3. Median overall survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    To describe median progression-free survival rate in subjects with recurrent or progressive gliomas treated with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy.

  4. 1-year overall survival [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    To describe 1 year overall survival rate in subjects with recurrent or progressive gliomas treated with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy.

  5. Overall response rate [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    To describe overall response survival rate in subjects with recurrent or progressive gliomas treated with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy.

  6. Quality of Life before, during, and after treatment [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Patient reported quality of life impact from undergoing LITT followed by hypofractionated radiation therapy using the M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory- Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) questionnaire.
