About this study

Official title: Adenovirus-Mediated Delivery of Herpes Simplex Virus Thymidine Kinase Administration Improves Outcome of Recurrent High-Grade Glioma

Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor in adults, but the prognosis for patients with these tumors remains poor despite advances in diagnosis and standard therapies such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The advantages of ADV-TK gene therapy highlight its efficacy and safety for glioma patients. This clinical trial was conducted to assess the anti-tumor efficacy and safety of intraarterial cerebral infusion of replication-deficient adenovirus mutant ADV-TK, in combination with systemic intravenous GCV administration in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.

Being tested
ADV-TK/GCV, Surgery, systemic chemotherapy
Medical subject headings
Glioblastoma

ADV-TK/GCVExperimentalADV-TK was administered via intraarterial cerebral infusion. Systemic GCV therapy was delivered at a dose of 5mg/kg intravenous, every 12 h at 36 hours after ADV-TK therapy.

Receives: Procedure: Surgery; Drug: systemic chemotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. The primary end point was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS-6)

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. progression-free survival (PFS)

    Measured: 3 years

  2. overall survival (OS)

    Measured: 3 years

  3. safety

    Measured: 1. at the time during treatments; 2. at 6-month; 3. at the end of 1-year following-up; 4. at the end of 2-year following up; 5. at the time the patient censored.

  4. clinical benefit

    the rate of complete response, plus partial response, plus stable disease

    Measured: at the end of 2nd ADK-TK/GCV therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ADV-TK/GCV, Surgery and systemic chemotherapy in people with Malignant Glioma of Brain and Glioblastoma, run by Huazhong University of Science and Technology at 1 site in China.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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 25 Jun 2013. 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 China. 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?

The primary end point was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS-6) (time frame: 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 NCT00870181, 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 25 Jun 2013.
