About this study

Official title: A Phase 1-2 Trial of Temozolomide and Hypofractionated Radiotherapy in Treatment of Supratentorial Glioblastoma Multiforme

The purpose of this study is to investigate the safety and effectiveness of a combination treatment for glioblastoma multiforme utilizing radiotherapy plus the FDA-approved chemotherapy drug temozolomide

Read the detailed description

Primary Objective: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), based on acute CNS toxicity at 30 days, of hypofractionated radiotherapy given in 5 fractions with temozolomide for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.

Secondary Objectives:

  1. Assess the short- and long-term adverse effects.
  2. Determine the radiographic response rate.
  3. Determine the overall survival rate.
  4. Assess quality of life during treatment

To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of hypofractionated (5 fractions) radiotherapy with temozolomide for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme, patients will be evaluated by a multi-disciplinary team composed of radiation oncologists, neurosurgeons, and neuro-oncologists to assess for their eligibility. Patient's oncologic history, presenting symptoms, physical examination, pathology, and imaging studies will be reviewed. Patients will be evaluated for surgical candidacy and resectability. Patients who are surgical candidates will undergo a surgical resection prior to radiotherapy. Patients whose tumors are unresectable or are not good surgical candidates will undergo a biopsy for tissue diagnosis. Radiation will be delivered in five fractions.

Being tested
Temozolomide, Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
Medical subject headings
Glioblastoma, Brain Neoplasms, Neurologic Manifestations

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

    The maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of study treatment (temozolomid plus hypofractionated radiotherapy administered as 5 fractions) is defined as either:

    • The highest radiation dose per protocol, or
    • The radiation dose at which dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) occurred in ≥ 2 of 3 participants at a dose level, and/or ≥ 2 of 6 participants, at a dose level.

    Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was defined as a treatment-related (with possible, probable or definite attribution) Grade 3 to 5 CNS toxicity [Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4] occurring within 30 days of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).

    The non-stratified outcome is reported as the number of DLTs observed in by radiation dose and by strata (Planning Target Volume (PTV) < 60 cm³ and from 60 to 150 cm³).

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Number of Acute Toxicity Within 30 Days

    Acute toxicity is defined as treatment-related adverse events that occur within 30 days of receiving radiotherapy. National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 is used to grade adverse events. The non-stratified outcome is reported as number of treatment-related adverse events observed for each radiotherapy dose level.

    Acute toxicity is based on radiotherapy dose level not tumor volume, and is reported by radiotherapy dose level only.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Long-term Toxicity After More Than 30 Days

    Long-term toxicity is defined as treatment-related adverse events (any grade or any Body System) that occur ≥ 30 days after receiving radiotherapy. National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.0 is used to grade adverse events. The non-stratified outcome is reported as number of treatment-related adverse events observed for each dose level.

    Long-term toxicity is based on radiotherapy dose level not tumor volume, and is reported by radiotherapy dose level only.

    Measured: 12 months

  3. Percent of Participants With Radiographic Response

    Radiographic response rate was assessed following radiotherapy until disease progression. Response is considered to be the sum and proportion participants that achieved a complete response (CR); partial response (PR); or minor response (MR). The outcome is expressed as a number without dispersion for each cohort.

    CR: Tumor is no longer detected by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

    PR: Decrease in the product of the two greatest diameters > 50%, as determined by CT or MRI, with no new lesions, and the same or lower dose of dexamethasone.

    MR: Decrease in the product of the two greatest diameters < 50%, as determined by CT or MRI, and neither PR nor PD.

    PD: New tumor lesion, or > 25% increase in the product of the two greatest diameters of target lesion, as determined by CT or MRI, provided that within 2 months of completion of radiotherapy, the participant has not had a decrease in steroid dose since the last evaluation.

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) following radiotherapy, measured in months. Progressive disease (PD) is defined as: New tumor lesion, or > 25% increase in the product of the 2 greatest diameters of target lesion, as determined by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), provided that within 2 months of completion of radiotherapy, the participant has not had a decrease in steroid dose since the last evaluation. The outcome is expressed as the median with 95% confidence interval for each cohort.

    Measured: 18 Months.

  5. Overall Survival (OS)

    Overall survival (OS) was assessed as those participants remaining alive with any tumor status following radiotherapy after 20 months. The outcome is stratified by Planning Target Volume (PTV) < 60 cm³ or 60 to 150 cm³, and expressed as the median value with 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: 20 Months.

  6. Quality of Life by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC-QLQ C30) Survey

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC-QLQ C30) quality of life surveys were administered at study entry and 12 months after treatment initiation to assess health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). The EORTC-QLQ C30 survey has 30 questions and responses are on scale of 1 to 4 with 1 indicating "not at all" and 4 indicating "very much". The total score can range from 30 to 120. The outcome is stratified by Planning Target Volume (PTV) < 60 cm³ or 60 to 150 cm³, and is expressed as the mean of the difference from baseline to 12 months, with 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: 12 Months

  7. Quality of Life by Brain-20 Survey

    Brain-20 (BN-20) quality of life surveys were administered at study entry and 12 months after treatment initiation to assess health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). The Brain-20 (BN-20) quality of life survey has 20 questions and responses are on scale of 1 to 4 with 1 indicating "not at all" (most favorable) and 4 indicating "very much" (least favorable). The total score can range from 20 to 80, and the result is expressed as the difference from baseline (study entry) to 12 months after the start of treatment. The outcome is stratified by Planning Target Volume (PTV) < 60 cm³ or 60 to 150 cm³, and expressed as the mean with 95% confidence interval.

    Measured: 12 months

  8. Quality of Life by MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) Survey

    MD Anderson Symptom Inventory - Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) quality of life surveys were administered at study entry and 12 months after treatment initiation to assess health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). MDASI-BT quality of life survey has 23 questions and responses are on scale of 0 to 10 with 0 indicating "did not interfere" (most favorable) and 10 indicating "interfered completely" (least favorable). A participant's overall score is computed as the mean of that participant's individual scores, and can range 0 to 10. The outcome is stratified by Planning Target Volume (PTV) < 60 cm³ or 60 to 150 cm³, and expressed as the mean difference from baseline with 95% confidence interval. A positive value for the mean indicates worsening quality of life.

    Measured: 12 months

  9. Treatment Failure Analysis

    Treatment failure in individual participants, ie, tumor recurrence or metastasis, can be described by the location relative to the first treatment failure (ie, infield, marginal, or distal), as further defined below.

    Failure pattern is defined as tumor recurrence or metastasis relative to the primary lesion that is

    • Infield: at tumor or within 5 mm
    • Marginal: > 5 mm or ≤ 20 mm from tumor
    • Distal: > 20 mm from tumor

    The outcome will be reported as the number of participants who failed treatment for each type of failure, ie, infield, marginal, or distal failure.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Temozolomide and Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) in people with Glioblastoma and Cancer of Brain and Nervous System, run by Stanford University 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?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 6 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 6 Aug 2021. 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 combined 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.

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 31 Jul 2019). 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?

Number of Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: 30 days). 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 6 Aug 2021.
