About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Bi-Weekly Temozolomide Plus Bevacizumab for Adult Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme

Primary objective - to determine the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) of adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme/gliosarcoma treated with bi-weekly temozolomide plus (Avastin) bevacizumab.

Secondary objectives - to determine radiographic response including specialized MRI sequences, safety and overall survival of adult patients with with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme/gliosarcoma treated with bi-weekly temozolomide plus bevacizumab (Avastin). Additionally, tumor DNA (MGMT) analysis as it relates to survival will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II study of the combination of Avastin and temozolomide for patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. Avastin is administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg on days 1 and 15 every 28 days and temozolomide is administered at a dose of 100 mg/m2 on days 1-5 and 15-19 every 28 days (one cycle). Patients will have a baseline MRI, an MRI scan after the first cycle and every other cycle after that. If there is no evidence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity, patients will receive one year of therapy. If there is evidence of added benefit (eg: tumor regression), patients can stay on treatment longer than one year, per investigator discretion.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing temozolomide and bevacizumab in people with Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme and Recurrent Gliosarcoma, run by Center for Neurosciences, Tucson 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 32 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 30 Mar 2017. 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?

6-month progression-free survival. (time frame: 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 30 Mar 2017.
