About this study

Official title: A Phase II Open Label Randomised Multicentric Study in Patients With Unresectable Glioblastoma Using Neo-adjuvant Treatment With Two Cycles of Temozolomide Previous Temozolomide Plus Radiation Therapy and Adjuvant Temozolomide vs. Neo-adjuvant Treatment With Two Cycles of Temozolomide Plus Bevacizumab Previous Temozolomide, Bevacizumab and Radiation Therapy and Adjuvant Temozolomide.

In the last 20 years, only temozolomide has obtained indication for the treatment of High-grade glioma (HGG). Temozolomide during and later radiation therapy has doubled one year survival and is the standard treatment for glioblastoma. But 30% of glioblastomas receive only a biopsy as they can't be resected and don't get benefit from this treatment. They and should be treated immediately after the biopsy to prevent neurological deterioration but in spite of this approach they often deteriorate neurologically during radiotherapy. . An effective pre-radiation treatment should improve their prognosis and allow them to complete concomitant radiotherapy and temozolomide treatment. Bevacizumab in recurrent HGG displays 63% of objective responses when combined with irinotecan. But irinotecan is not the most active treatment in this disease.

We propose a phase II, two arms, open label, randomized, multicentric study with 2 cycles of temozolomide before radiation therapy and concomitant temozolomide, in patients with glioblastoma and 'biopsy-only'. Bevacizumab will be added to one arm.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response Rate

    To determine differences in clinical activity in terms of objective response after 2 cycles of 4 weeks in both treatment arms in inoperable patients with glioblastoma (RANO criteria)

    Measured: Until the first 9 weeks of treatment

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Percentage of patients who finish treatment

    Measured: 41 weeks

  2. Progression-free survival

    Measured: the participants will be followed until disease progression by RANO criteria

  3. Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Assess the toxicity of the combination of the treatment.

    Temozolamide+bevacizumab+radiation Temozolamide+radiation

    After the inclusion of the first 10 patients treated with bevacizumab arm (arm 2)the inclusion will be temporarily interrupted until the last of these patients completed concomitant treatment (radiation, temozolomide, bevacizumab) to check the safety of treatment with analysis of adverse effects and toxicity.

    following the NCIC 3.0 criteria.

    Measured: 21 weeks

  4. Percentage of patients without neurological deterioration before radiation therapy.

    Measured: 8 weeks

  5. Overall survival

    Measured: Until death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Temozolomide, Bevacizumab and Standard radiation therapy in people with Glioblastomas, run by Grupo Español de Investigación en Neurooncología at 1 site in Spain.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. 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 26 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 Spain. 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 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Rate (time frame: Until the first 9 weeks of treatment). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 26 Aug 2015.
