Brain and Central Nervous System TumorsPhase 1NCT00025558
Combination Chemotherapy Followed by Peripheral Stem Cell Transplantation or Bone Marrow Transplantation in Treating Patients With Brain Cancer
A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, carboplatin and temozolomide in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by NYU Langone Health at 4 sites in 2 countries.
Trial summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Dose Escalation of Temozolomide in Combination With Thiotepa and Carboplatin With Autologous Stem Cell Rescue in Patients With Malignant Brain Tumors With Minimal Residual Disease
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Peripheral stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation may allow the doctor to give higher doses of chemotherapy drugs and kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of combining temozolomide, thiotepa, and carboplatin followed by peripheral stem cell transplantation or bone marrow transplantation in treating patients who have brain cancer.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of temozolomide in combination with thiotepa and carboplatin followed by autologous peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplantation in patients with recurrent high-grade brain tumors with minimal residual disease or newly-diagnosed malignant glioma with minimal residual disease following irradiation.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of temozolomide.
Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously (SC) once daily for 3 consecutive days. After the third dose of G-CSF, patients undergo leukapheresis to collect peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC). Patients who do not have adequate PBSC may undergo bone marrow harvest.
Patients then receive oral temozolomide every 12 hours on days -10 to -6 and thiotepa IV over 3 hours and carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days -5 to -3.
PBSC or bone marrow are reinfused on day 0. Beginning on day 1, patients receive G-CSF SC or IV until blood counts recover.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of temozolomide until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Patients are followed at day 42, at 3 months, every 3 months for 2 years, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 18-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing filgrastim, carboplatin and temozolomide in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by NYU Langone Health at 4 sites in 2 countries.
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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 4 sites in United States, Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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 28 Mar 2011.
