Clinical Trial for the Validation of AR Based Neuronavigation System

Study Purpose

The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at several selected points between two types of navigation will be measured and analyzed.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years - 85 Years
Gender	All

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

- Adult patients aged 18 years or older who underwent MRI or CT scan due to brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease.

- Adult patients aged 18 years or older who need surgical treatment using navigation for brain tumor or cerebrovascular disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Cases where application of navigation is not necessary according to the judgment of the researcher or surgeon.

- When the patient or guardian does not agree.

- Patients with anatomical deformation due to previous surgery or requiring emergency surgery

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT05776706
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	N/A

Additional Details

Being developed AR navigation were reported in our following papers: 1. Dho YS, et al., Development of an inside-out augmented reality technique for neurosurgical navigation. Neurosurgical Focus. 2021 Aug 1;51(2):E21. (doi.org/10.3171/2021.5.FOCUS21184) 2. Moon HC, et al., Navigation of frameless fixation for gamma knife radiosurgery using fixed augmented reality. Scientific Reports. 2022 Mar 16;12(1):1-0. (doi.org/10.3171/2021.5.FOCUS21184) This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of anatomical localization of a newly developed augmented reality-based neurosurgery navigation. After 3-dimensional (3D) modeling of the brain of a patient with brain tumor or cerebral vascular disease through 3D image segmentation extraction and modeling, the Augmented Reality (AR)-based navigation developed by this research team can be used with a commercially available visualization device, such as iPad, iPhone, and Hololens2, to evaluate the accuracy. The AR-based navigation obtained approval from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety of Republic of Korea (class 2 medical device) in February 2022. Through this clinical tria that compare accuracy with existing conventional intraoperative neuronavigation system, we will evaluate whether it shows equivalent performance to replace the existing navigation.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Single arm

We will set up 2 navigation systems, newly developed AR-based navigation and conventional navigation system, to surgeries of all participants. Surgeons will perform all surgical planning and operations with reference to the conventional navigation system. In this process, the errors of the existing navigation and the newly developed navigation will be measured and compared in 3D at several points, and the points are as follows: Fiducial markers Nasion Tumor's margin (anterior, posterior, superior, inferior)

Interventions

Diagnostic Test: - AR-based navigation

In this process, the errors of the existing navigation and the newly developed navigation are measured and compared in 3D at several points, and the points are as follows. Fiducial markers Nasion Tumor's margin (anterior, posterior, superior, inferior)
