What participants receive

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

  • Chemotherapy (carboplatin, etoposide, thiotepa)Drug

    Conventional chemotherapy: carboplatin injection (160 mg/m²/day by infusion over one hour in 5 % glucose saline) administered from D1 to D5 and from D22 to D26. Etoposide injection (100 mg/m²/day by infusion over one hour in 5 % glucose saline) administered from D1 to D5 and from D22 to D26. Double intensification by high-dose chemotherapy followed by autologous PBSC rescue: thiotepa injection (200 mg/m²/day as an infusion over one hour in 200 ml/m² of 5 % GS) administered from D42 to D44 and from D63 to D65. Autologous PBSC rescue on D47 and D68. Surgical resection of any tumor residue. Irradiation of the primary tumor site and cerebrospinal axis: 54 Gy to primary tumor, 36 Gy to cerebrospinal axis. Maintenance treatment: Temozolomide 150 mg/m²/day orally for 5 days every 28 days, from 1 month after the end of irradiation. 6 cycles planned. Duration of treatment: 13 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Chemotherapy (carboplatin, etoposide, thiotepa) in people with Metastatic, Cerebral Primitive Neuroectodermal Tumors, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 1 site in France.

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 19 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 29 Jun 2020. 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 France. 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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00936156, 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 Jun 2020.
