About this study

Official title: Temodal Capsule All-Case-Registered Surveillance (Designated Drug Use Investigation) - Evaluation of The Safety and Efficacy of Temodal in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Malignant Glioma (Concomitant With Radiotherapy and Then as Monotherapy) and Relapsed Malignant Glioma (as Monotherapy)

The purpose of this study is to confirm the safety and efficacy of temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma (concomitant with radiotherapy and then as monotherapy) and relapsed malignant glioma (as monotherapy) when used in the daily medical practices.

Post-marketing surveys are not considered applicable clinical trials and thus the results of this survey will not be posted at its conclusion. The results will be submitted to public health officials as required by applicable national and international laws.

What participants receive

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

  • Temozolomide (for newly diagnosed malignant glioma)Drug

    Also called Temodal, Temodar, SCH 052365

    Temozolomide treatment for newly diagnosed malignant glioma. The usual dose for adults in combination with radiotherapy is 75 mg/m2 orally once daily for 42 consecutive days. After a 4 week rest period, monotherapy at 150 mg/m2 orally once daily for 5 consecutive days per 28 day treatment cycle is administered. The dose may be increased to 200 mg/m2 for the next 28 day treatment cycle.

    Temozolomide is administered as 20 mg and 100 mg capsules.

  • Temozolomide (for relapsed malignant glioma)Drug

    Also called Temodal, Temodar, SCH 052365

    Temozolomide treatment for relapsed malignant glioma. The usual dose for adults is 150 mg/m2 orally once daily for 5 consecutive days per 28 day treatment cycle. The dose may be increased to 200 mg/m2 for the next 28 day treatment cycle.

    Temozolomide is administered as 20 mg and 100 mg capsules.

  • Radiotherapy (for patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma)Radiation

    Also called Radiation therapy

    Although the study protocol does not clearly define how long this intervention is applied, radiotherapy is generally administered 5 days/week for 6 weeks to patients with newly diagnosed malignant glioma.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety: observation of hematology, biochemistry, and adverse events (AEs); evaluation of details of occurrence of AEs and unexpected serious AEs, and evaluation of presence or absence of secondary malignancies and causal relationship with temozolomide.

    Measured: AEs during treatment with temozolomide, serious AEs occurring within 30 days after completion of treatment with temozolomide. Secondary malignancies will be monitored from the start of treatment with temozolomide to final outcome.

  2. Efficacy in patients registered during Period 1, evaluated as Remarkably Effective, Moderately Effective, Stable Disease, Progression, or Not Evaluable, considering tumor responses, progression free survival, overall survival, among other factors.

    Measured: One year after start of temozolomide treatment.

  3. Efficacy in all newly diagnosed anaplastic astrocytoma patients:, evaluated as 5 year survival rate and overall survival.

    Measured: From the start of treatment with temozolomide to final outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Glioma and Astrocytoma, run by Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 15 Nov 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Safety: observation of hematology, biochemistry, and adverse events (AEs); evaluation of details of occurrence of AEs and unexpected serious AEs, and evaluation of presence or absence of secondary malignancies and causal relationship with temozolomide. (time frame: AEs during treatment with temozolomide, serious AEs occurring within 30 days after completion of treatment with temozolomide. Secondary malignancies will be monitored from the start of treatment with temozolomide to final outcome.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 15 Nov 2016.
