About this study

Official title: A Single Arm Phase II Study of Bevacizumab and Extended Treatment of Temozolomide in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme

This is a Phase II, national, multicenter, open-label, non-comparative study to investigate the efficacy and safety of bevacizumab and temozolomide in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) after a first treatment failure. Patients will receive bevacizumab 10 mg/kg intravenously every two weeks until disease progression, consent withdrawal, or unacceptable toxicity. Anticipated time on study treatment is 12-24 months.

Being tested
bevacizumab [Avastin], temozolomide
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) - Percentage of Participants With an Event

    PFS was defined as the time, in weeks, from the date of inclusion in the study to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or death of the participant due to any cause. Participants that did not have an event at the time the analysis was performed were censored at the date of last contact. Participants that began a treatment other than those planned in this study (bevacizumab or temozolomide) were censored on the start date of the new treatment.

    Measured: Baseline (BL), every 28 days, until progression, death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks

  2. PFS - Time to Event

    PFS was defined as the time, in weeks, from the date of inclusion in the study to the date of the first documentation of disease progression or death of the participant due to any cause. Participants that did not have an event at the time the analysis was performed were censored at the date of last contact. Participants that began a treatment other than those planned in this study (bevacizumab or temozolomide) were censored on the start date of the new treatment. PFS was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: BL, every 28 days, until progression, death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks

  3. PFS: Probability of Remaining Progression Free at 24 Weeks After Beginning the Study

    Measured: BL, 24 weeks (after 6th cycle)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Overall Survival - Percentage of Participants With an Event

    Overall survival was defined as the time transpired (in weeks) between the date of the participant's inclusion in the trial until the date of his/her death by any cause. Participants that were alive at the time the analysis was performed were censored on the date of last contact.

    Measured: BL, every 28 days, until death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks

  2. Overall Survival - Time to Event

    Overall survival was defined as the time transpired (in weeks) between the date of the participant's inclusion in the trial until the date of his/her death by any cause. Participants that were alive at the time the analysis was performed were censored on the date of last contact. Median overall survival was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: BL, every 28 days, until death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks

  3. Percentage of Participants Achieving an Overall Response of Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR)

    Overall response was defined as the percentage of participants who obtained CR or PR using adapted MacDonald criteria. CR: disappearance of all index and non-index lesions, confirmed no less than 4 weeks after assessment, no evidence of disease progression; corticosteroid dosage at or below 20 mg hydrocortisone daily; no neurological changes or an improvement as compared to last disease assessment. PR was defined as: Fifty percent or greater decrease in the sum of products of the larger diameter and the larger perpendicular diameter of all index lesions confirmed no less than 4 weeks after assessment, no evidence of disease progression and the absence of progressive, or non-evaluable disease status for non-index legions; unchanged, or decreased corticosteroid dose as compared to the last disease assessment; no neurological changes or an improvement as compared to the neurological examination at last disease assessment.

    Measured: BL, every 28 days, until progression, death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing bevacizumab [Avastin] and temozolomide in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 8 sites in Spain.

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 17 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 8 Dec 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in Spain. 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 8 Dec 2014). 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) - Percentage of Participants With an Event (time frame: Baseline (BL), every 28 days, until progression, death or end-of-study, an average of 32 weeks). 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 8 Dec 2014.
