Conditions

Summary

Eligibility

Min Age: 18 YearsMax Age: 70 Years

Inclusion Criteria8

  • Males or females 18-70 years of age, inclusive;
  • Patients with presumably new malignant gliomas (WHO grade 3/4) diagnosed by imaging;
  • have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60;
  • Ability to take oral medications;
  • Laboratory tests meeting the following criteria within ≤ 7 days preoperatively:
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Mentholatum aminotransferase (AST), Glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) < 100 IU/L; Serum total bilirubin (TBIL) < 51.3 μmol/L (3.0 mg/dl); Serum creatinine (CRE) < 176.8 μmol/L (2.0 mg/dl);
  • Non-surgically sterilized or female subjects of childbearing potential need to have a negative serum pregnancy test result and must be non-lactating females; female subjects of childbearing potential and male subjects whose spouses are of childbearing potential are voluntarily using contraception for a period of 3 months after administration of the test drug;
  • Subjects are able to understand the informed consent form, voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent form, have good compliance, and cooperate with follow-up visits.

Exclusion Criteria8

  • Known hypersensitivity to the test drug ingredients, aminoglutaric acid, porphyrins, or their analogs;
  • acute or chronic porphyria; history of cutaneous photosensitivity, actinic dermatoses, and exfoliative dermatitis
  • Tumor located in the midline, basal ganglia, cerebellum, or brainstem;
  • Inability to undergo enhanced MRI (pacemaker, contrast allergy, and other reasons);
  • Subjects taking other trial medications within 30 days prior to the start of this trial or subjects undergoing other clinical trials at the same time;
  • Comorbid uncontrolled cardiac conditions such as: a) New York Heart Association (NYHA) class ≥II, b) severe/unstable angina, c) primary cardiomyopathy, d) myocardial infarction or previous coronary/peripheral artery bypass grafting within ≤6 months prior to the procedure, e) difficult-to-control hypertension, f) severe arrhythmia requiring medication or intervention, and g) screening echocardiographic left ventricular ejection fraction <50%;
  • Active hepatitis B or C (unless HBV-DNA titers below the minimum detection limit and HCV-RNA negative on antiviral therapy can be included), HIV-positive or known history of acquired immunodeficiency syndrome;
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes participation in the trial inappropriate;

Interventions

DRUG5-aminolevulinic acid

Patients were randomly assigned to 5-aminolevulinic acid (20 mg/kg bodyweight)Those randomly allocated to 5-aminolevulinic acid were scheduled to receive freshly prepared solutions of 5-aminolevulinic acid orally 3 h (range 2-4) before induction of anaesthesia. Solutions were prepared by dissolving the contents of a vial (1·5 g) in 50 mL of drinking water.
