About this study

Official title: High-Dose Vitamin D in Combination With Chemoradiotherapy in the Treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme

This is non-randomized phase 2 study to assess efficacy and toxicity of long term high dose vitamin D3 given concurrently with chemo-radiotherapy (CCRT) containing temozolomide followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) with temozolomide in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme GBM). Preoperative diagnosis of GBM will be based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan. All patient will underwent craniotomy with partial or total resection of a visible tumour mass. All patients will be planned for postoperative three-dimensional conformal RT (3-DCRT) or intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) to residual tumour and/or resection bed. A total RT dose of 54-60 Gy will be delivered using 2 Gy daily fractions given over 5 days a week. Daily chemotherapy with temozolomide in the dose of 75 mg/m2/day will be started at the first day of RT, and will be continued for entire period of RT inclusive week-end breaks. ACT will contain 6 cycles of oral temozolomide 150-200 mg/m2/day given for 5 days every 4 weeks. Oral vitamin D3 will be administered in daily dose of 4000 IU. Vitamin D3 therapy will be started 1 week prior to commencing CCRT, and will be terminated immediately after completing last cycle of ACT. MRI scan of the brain will be performed at 4 months after completing CCRT, and than will be repeated every 4 months for first 2 years, and every 6 months for subsequent years. The study participants will be followed until disease progression or death. The study is expected to complete within 4 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Surgery, Radiotherapy to tumour bed and/or residual tumour and Temozolomide in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Soroka University Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

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 22 inclusion and 22 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2011. 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 Israel. 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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Konstantin Lavrenkov, MD, PhD (+97286400537, constant@bgu.ac.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Progression free survival (time frame: long term). 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 29 Mar 2011.
