About this study

Official title: A Phase III, Randomized, Open-Label Study Of IV Edotecarin Vs Temozolomide Or Carmustine (BCNU) Or Lomustine (CCNU) In Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme At First Relapse After Alkylator-Based (NEO) Adjuvant Chemotherapy

The purpose of this clinical trial is to study Edotecarin in patients with the brain tumor glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) who have progression or first recurrence following initial treatment with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Conditions
Glioblastoma
Being tested
Edotecarin, Temozolomide, Carmustine (BCNU), Lomustine (CCNU)
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • EdotecarinDrug

  • TemozolomideDrug

  • Carmustine (BCNU)Drug

  • Lomustine (CCNU)Drug

What is being measured

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

  1. To compare the overall survival associated with edotecarin versus that associated with temozolomide or BCNU or CCNU for the treatment of patients with GBM at first relapse previously treated with alkylator-based (neo)adjuvant therapy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To assess measures of tumor control To evaluate measures of clinical benefit To assess the safety profile of edotecarin To assess the PK profile of edotecarin and the potential for drug interactions between anticonvulsants and edotecarin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Edotecarin, Temozolomide and Carmustine (BCNU) in people with Glioblastoma, run by Pfizer at 52 sites in 14 countries.

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 14 inclusion and 14 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 1 Apr 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 52 sites in United States, Canada, Germany, Australia, Spain and 8 more countries. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

To compare the overall survival associated with edotecarin versus that associated with temozolomide or BCNU or CCNU for the treatment of patients with GBM at first relapse previously treated with alkylator-based (neo)adjuvant therapy. 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 1 Apr 2008.
