What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing a new computer program that helps doctors see which parts of the brain control important functions like language and movement. The goal is to help surgeons plan brain tumor removal more safely. About 1,720 adults with brain tumors who need surgery will take part. The software uses special MRI scans to create detailed maps of the brain.

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Who is studied

For the prospective study we will include 120 patients with brain tumors. For the retrospective study, we will review up to 1600 patients all clinical presurgical fMRI studies performed on brain tumor patients at the MD Anderson since 5/2004.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion criteria: 1. patient must be \>/= 18 years of age; 2. patients who will undergo neurosurgical resection of brain tumors; 3. patients who will undergo presurgical fMRI as standard of care; 4. patients who on neurosurgical evaluation will undergo direct cortical stimulation (DCS) as standard of care. For the retrospective study, we will review up to 1600 patients all clinical presurgical fMRI studies performed on brain tumor patients at the MD Anderson since 5/2004. The inclusion criteria: 1. patients must be \>/= 18 years of age; 2. patients who had the presurgical fMRI that contained at least one task-based fMRI scan. Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria for the prospective study: 1. patients cannot give informed consent; 2. patients cannot undergo MRI examinations; 3. patients who are indicated for speech fMRI only but cannot comply with any of the speech tasks based on the evaluation of a clinical neuropsychologist. Exclusion criteria for the retrospective study: 1. all fMRI scans were contaminated by head motions (translation \> 2 mm or rotation \> 2 degrees); 2. only speech fMRI paradigms were performed, and patients were not able to comply with any of the speech tasks based on the evaluation of a clinical neuropsychologist.
