About this study

Official title: A Phase II Trial of Continuous Low-Dose Temozolomide for Patients With Recurrent Malignant Glioma

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 recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or other malignant glioma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the progression-free survival rate at 6 months in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or other malignant glioma treated with temozolomide.

Secondary

  • Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and every 2 months for 2 years for evaluation of markers of neo-angiogenesis. Samples are analyzed by protein expression, reverse-transcriptase PCR, ELISA, and western blot. (Samples are no longer being collected and tested as of 1/12/09)

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
TemozolomideExperimentalFollowing diagnosis of tumor recurrence or progression, all patients will receive of daily low dose temozolomide given at 50mg/m2/d without interruption. Brain imaging will be performed at baseline and every 2 months (standard of care). The treatment will be administered until development of toxicity, evidence of progression of disease or death.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 Months

    Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

    Measured: at 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Overall Survival

    All patients will have their tumor measurements recorded at baseline and at the time of each MRI scan. Lesions must be measured in two dimensions. The dose of gadolinium must be held constant from scan to scan. Macdonald criteria will be used for assessment of tumor response.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing temozolomide, protein expression analysis and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 29 Feb 2016. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 29 Feb 2016). 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?

Progression-free Survival (PFS) Rate at 6 Months (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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00498927, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 29 Feb 2016.
