About this study
Official title: A Phase II Study of Conformal Radiotherapy In Patients With Low-Grade Gliomas
RATIONALE: Specialized radiation therapy that delivers radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy works in treating young patients with gliomas.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the marginal-failure rate in young patients with low-grade gliomas treated with reduced-field conformal radiotherapy.
Secondary
- Determine the progression-free survival, event-free survival, and overall survival rates of young patients treated with this regimen.
- Determine quality of life of patients treated with this regimen.
- Correlate MIB-1 labeling index with progression-free survival and overall survival of these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.
Patients undergo reduced-field conformal radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Quality of life is assessed at baseline or 6 weeks after completion of study treatment and then at 2 and 5 years (closed as of 10/27/2010).
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years, every 6 months for 2 years, and then annually thereafter.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Marginal-failure Rate
Patients who do not recur as well as those with either central or distant recurrence would be treatment successes for this endpoint. Monitoring will be based on a Bayesian rule, with binomial likelihood and a Beta on the parameter p, the proportion of failures that are marginal failures.
Measured: Up to 5 years
Secondary outcomes (6)
Progression-free Survival Probability
To estimate the progression-free survival rate for patients with recurrent, progressive or symptomatic low-grade gliomas after treatment with reduced field conformal radiation.
Measured: 3 years
Event-free Survival Probability
To estimate the event-free survival rate for patients with recurrent, progressive or symptomatic low-grade gliomas after treatment with reduced field conformal radiation
Measured: 3 years
Overall Survival Probability
To estimate the overall survival rate for patients with recurrent, progressive or symptomatic low-grade gliomas after treatment with reduced field conformal radiation.
Measured: 3 years
Quality of Life (QOL)
QOL accessed using the Behavior Assessment System for Children (BASC), the Adaptive Behavior Assessment System (ABAS), the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF), and the Symptom Checklist-90-R (SCL-90-R).
Measured: Up to 5 years
MIB-1 Labeling Index Using Immunohistochemical Techniques With the MIB-1 Antibody According to Established Methods
The MIB-1 labeling Index will be calculated as the percentage of tumor nuclei that are immunoreactive.
Measured: At baseline
Correlation MIB-1 Labeling Index With PFS
The primary methods of analysis will be via stratified Cox regression
Measured: Up to 10 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing radiation therapy in people with Brain Tumor and Central Nervous System Tumor, run by Children's Oncology Group at 145 sites in 6 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 7 Aug 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 145 sites in United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland and 1 more country. 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Feb 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Marginal-failure Rate (time frame: Up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00238264, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 7 Aug 2019.
