Trial summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Erlotinib With Temozolomide and Concurrent Radiation Therapy Post-Operatively in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide and erlotinib after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide and erlotinib works in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the progression-free survival and overall survival of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme treated with adjuvant radiotherapy, temozolomide, and erlotinib hydrochloride.
  • Evaluate the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a non-randomized study.

Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-42 and undergo concurrent radiotherapy once daily on days 1-5, 8-12, 15-19, 22-26, 29-33, and 36-40. Four weeks after completion of radiotherapy and temozolomide, patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Treatment with temozolomide repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily beginning on day 1 of radiotherapy and continuing in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30 patients will be accrued for this study.

What participants receive

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

  • erlotinib hydrochlorideDrug

    Also called Tarceva

    Erlotinib is available as 25 mg, 100 mg, and 150 mg tablets. It should be administered orally once daily at the prescribed dose specified in the clinical study protocol per dose escalation schema. Preferably, erlotinib should be taken in the morning with up to 200 mL of water at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal.

  • temozolomideDrug

    Also called Temodar

    TMZ is supplied in white opaque, preservative-free, two piece hard gelatin capsules of the following sizes: 100mg capsules, 20mg capsules, and 5mg capsules. TMZ will be a once a day orally administered (75 mg/m2 x BSA x 42 days)set of capsules taken at least two hours after and one hour before a meal.

  • radiation therapyRadiation

    Also called RT

    Concomitant focal RT will be delivered once daily at 2 Gy per fraction, 5 d/wk, for a total of 60 Gy. (6 weeks) as mentioned in therapeutic modalities.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing erlotinib hydrochloride, temozolomide and radiation therapy in people with CNS Tumor, Adult, run by David Peereboom 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?

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 Dec 2012. 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 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?

Progression-free survival (time frame: at 6 months). 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 Dec 2012.
