Resting-State Functional MRI in Glioma Patients Before and After Surgery
NCT03964909 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
This clinical trial studies how well resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) MRI performed before and after surgery works in measuring the effects on language in patients with glioma. Mapping language function before brain tumor resection is crucial for preventing post-surgical deficits and maximizing restoration of language function following surgery. Additional imaging, such as resting-state functional MRI and CVR MRI, may help measure the language network in the brain before surgery and any effects on language function after surgery.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03964909
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03964909 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as NA, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 29 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, which has 2,992 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 2 conditions, with Glioma appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 3 interventions — of which Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03964909 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Texas. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll. Verify current status, eligibility criteria, and contact details directly at ClinicalTrials.gov, and discuss any participation decision with your own healthcare provider.
