Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Temozolomide, Carboplatin and Neupogen in High-Grade Gliomas, Both Newly-Diagnosed and Recurrent

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining carboplatin, temozolomide, and filgrastim in treating patients who have newly diagnosed or recurrent high-grade glioma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the response rate in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma treated with temozolomide, carboplatin, and filgrastim (G-CSF).
  • Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients.
  • Determine the rate of tumor progression in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease category (glioblastoma multiforme vs anaplastic astrocytoma vs several other high-grade mixed gliomas).

Patients receive carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days 1-2; oral temozolomide every 12 hours on days 1-5; and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV daily starting no earlier than day 7 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 4 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 102-222 (17-37 per each of 6 strata) will be accrued for this study within 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing filgrastim, carboplatin and temozolomide in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by NYU Langone Health at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 5 Aug 2015.
