About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Continuous Dose Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Pure and Mixed Anaplastic Oligodendroglioma

RATIONALE: 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.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well temozolomide works in treating patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma or mixed oligoastrocytoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine progression-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO) or mixed oligoastrocytoma (MOA) treated with temozolomide.
  • Determine the response rate in these patients.
  • Assess the quality of life of patients with AO or MOA treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a parallel-group, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease type (anaplastic oligodendroglioma vs mixed oligoastrocytoma).

Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 8 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Quality of life is assessed at baseline, before courses 1, 3, 5, and 7, every 3 months for the first year after completion of treatment, every 4 months for the second year, every 6 months for the third and fourth years, and once a year thereafter.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing temozolomide in people with Central Nervous System Tumors and Brain Tumor, run by The Cleveland Clinic 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 18 Sep 2018. 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: Survival of Last Patient). 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 18 Sep 2018.
