The Clinical Evaluation of the Stereotactic, MR Guided, Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT ) for the "Minimal Invasive" Treatment of Brain Metastasis and Primary Brain Tumors - a Phase I Study With Direct Patient Benefice
The Clinical Evaluation of the Stereotactic, MR Guided, Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT ) for the "Minimal Invasive" Treatment of Brain Metastasis and Primary Brain Tumors - a Phase I Study With Direct Patient Benefice
The purpose of this study is to determine if the stereotactic, MR guided, laser interstitial thermal therapy treatment technique can be safety and efficiently used for human brain metastasis and primary brain tumors.
This new "minimally invasive" technique has been tested so far, with success, on animal brain tumor models and on human liver metastasis.
The main purpose of this study is to determine if the stereotactic, MR guided, laser interstitial thermal therapy treatment technique can be safety and efficiently used for the human brain metastasis and primary brain tumors.
As secondary objectives for this clinical study, the following are to be explored:
The clinical trial will include a statistical sample of 12-18 treatments and will run over a period of 18 months. The inclusion period will be for 6 months and the patients will be followed up during 12 months post intervention.
The clinical trial will be performed at the Lariboisiere University Hospital of Paris and the patients will be coming from all the Assistance Publique de Paris ( APHP ) hospitals
