About this study
Official title: A Phase II Randomized Trial of Lenalidomide (NSC # 703813) in Pediatric Patients With Recurrent, Refractory or Progressive Juvenile Pilocytic Astrocytomas and Optic Pathway Gliomas
This randomized phase II trial studies how well low-dose lenalidomide works compared with high-dose lenalidomide in treating younger patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or optic nerve pathway gliomas that have come back (recurrent), have not responded to treatment (refractory), or are growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Lenalidomide is classified as an immunomodulatory drug as it boosts the immune system. It has other potential anti-tumor effects, for example, it may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether low-dose lenalidomide is more or less effective than high-dose lenalidomide in treating patients with juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas or optic nerve pathway gliomas.
Read the detailed description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
- To determine the objective response rate in children with recurrent, refractory, or progressive juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas and optic pathway gliomas who are treated with Regimen A low-dose (20 mg/m^2/dose) or Regimen B high-dose (115 mg/m^2/dose) lenalidomide.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
- To estimate the event-free survival (EFS) (based on standard two-dimensional tumor measurements, determined by each institution) of children with recurrent, refractory, or progressive juvenile pilocytic astrocytomas and optic pathway gliomas who are treated with lenalidomide.
II. To compare response categories and EFS across the 3 magnetic resonance (MR) sequences (T2-weighted, fluid attenuated inversion recovery [FLAIR], T1-weighted post-contrast).
III. To correlate steady-state pharmacokinetics of lenalidomide (1 sample obtained between days 5-21) with objective response and EFS.
IV. To evaluate toxicities of long-term lenalidomide use.
OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
ARM I (Regimen A): Patients receive low-dose lenalidomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
ARM II (Regimen B): Patients receive high-dose lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up annually for approximately 3 years.

| Arm I (low-dose lenalidomide) | Experimental | Patients receive low-dose lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Receives: Drug: Lenalidomide; Other: Pharmacological Study |
| Arm II (high-dose lenalidomide) | Experimental | Patients receive high-dose lenalidomide PO QD on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 26 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Receives: Drug: Lenalidomide; Other: Pharmacological Study |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Patients Who Demonstrate Complete or Partial Response
Number of patients who demonstrate a complete or partial response as defined below:
Complete Response - Complete disappearance of all known disease for at least 4 weeks;
Partial Response - A reduction of at least 50% in the size of all measurable tumor as quantitated by the sum of the products of the largest diameters of measurable lesions when compared with that measurement at the time of study enrollment and maintained for at least 4 weeks.
Measured: 26 cycles of chemotherapy - up to 3 years after enrollment
Number of Patients Who Demonstrate Early Progression
Number of patients with disease progression during the first six months of protocol therapy. Disease progression is defined as ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of the largest diameters of the measurable lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions when compared with the measurements of lesions at the time of enrollment.
Measured: Up to 180 days after enrollment
Secondary outcomes (5)
Event-free Survival [EFS]
Estimated 3-year EFS where EFS is calculated as the time from study enrollment to disease progression, disease relapse, occurrence of a second malignant neoplasm, death from any cause or last follow-up whichever occurs first. Kaplan-Meier method is used for estimation. Patients without an event are censored at last contact.
Measured: Up to 3 years after study enrollment
Overall Survival [OS]
Estimated 3-year overall survival is calculated as the time from study enrollment to death from any cause or last follow-up whichever occurs first. Kaplan-Meier method is used for estimation. Patients alive at last contact are censored at that time.
Measured: Up to 3 years after study enrollment
Number of Patients With Toxic Events After 2 Dose Reductions
Number of patients who have an additional significant toxicity coded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 after experiencing two dose reductions from their assigned treatment dose.
Measured: While receiving protocol therapy up to 3 years after study enrollment
Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Lenalidomide
Concentration of lenalidomide obtained from any day between day 5 and 21 of the first cycle of chemotherapy in nanograms per mL.
Measured: Between days 5-21 of course 1 and each dose reduction
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence
Response categories (complete response, partial response, stable disease, and progression) will be determined from the following three standard magnetic resonance sequences, T2-weighted, fluid attenuated inversion recovery, T1-weighted post-contrast. Percent agreement between the sequences will be estimated as the number of follow-up scans in which the corresponding sequence agreed divided by the total number of follow-up scans.
Measured: Up to 3 years

Key inclusion criteria (39 listed)
- Patients must have a body surface area (BSA) >= 0.4 m^2 at the time of study enrollment
- Patients must have a pilocytic astrocytoma or optic pathway glioma that has relapsed, progressed, or become refractory to conventional therapy; patients with neurofibromatosis (NF-1) are eligible
- Patients must have histologic verification of malignancy; histologic confirmation for patients with optic pathway gliomas will not be required
- Patients must have measurable residual disease, defined as tumor that is measurable in two perpendicular diameters on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); for a lesion to be considered measurable, it must be at least twice the slice thickness on MRI (i.e. visible on more than one slice)
- To document the degree of residual tumor, the following must be obtained:
Key exclusion criteria (18 listed)
- Female patients who are pregnant are not eligible
- Lactating females are not eligible unless they have agreed not to breastfeed their infants while receiving protocol therapy and for 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide
- Female patients of childbearing potential are not eligible unless they commit to complete abstinence or have been on 2 methods of birth control, including 1 highly effective method and 1 additional method at the same time (unless committing to complete abstinence of heterosexual intercourse) at least 28 days (4 weeks) prior to study enrollment; sexually active females must also agree to remain on 2 methods of birth control, during treatment (including during dose interruptions), and continuing for at least 28 days after the completion of protocol therapy; examples of methods of contraception are as follows:
- Female patients of childbearing potential (including those who commit to complete abstinence) are not eligible unless they agree to ongoing pregnancy testing and counseling every 28 days about pregnancy precautions and risks of fetal exposure
- Male patients of child fathering potential are not eligible unless they have agreed to use latex condoms during intercourse with a woman of childbearing potential while receiving treatment and for 28 days thereafter
Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening; this overview does not establish that a patient qualifies. Full inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Primary outcome
Number of Patients Who Demonstrate Complete or Partial Response
Time frame: 26 cycles of chemotherapy - up to 3 years after enrollment
Number of patients who demonstrate a complete or partial response as defined below: Complete Response - Complete disappearance of all known disease for at least 4 weeks; Partial Response - A reduction of at least 50% in the size of all measurable tumor as quantitated by the sum of the products of the largest diameters of measurable lesions when compared with that measurement at the time of study enrollment and maintained for at least 4 weeks.
Number of Patients Who Demonstrate Early Progression
Time frame: Up to 180 days after enrollment
Number of patients with disease progression during the first six months of protocol therapy. Disease progression is defined as ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of the largest diameters of the measurable lesions or the appearance of one or more new lesions when compared with the measurements of lesions at the time of enrollment.
5 secondary outcomes
Event-free Survival [EFS]
Time frame: Up to 3 years after study enrollment
Overall Survival [OS]
Time frame: Up to 3 years after study enrollment
Number of Patients With Toxic Events After 2 Dose Reductions
Time frame: While receiving protocol therapy up to 3 years after study enrollment
Pharmacokinetic Parameters of Lenalidomide
Time frame: Between days 5-21 of course 1 and each dose reduction
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequence
Time frame: Up to 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Lenalidomide and Pharmacological Study in people with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 and Recurrent Childhood Pilocytic Astrocytoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 126 sites in 4 countries.
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 39 inclusion and 18 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 7 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 126 sites in United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand. 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 30 Nov 2021). 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?
Number of Patients Who Demonstrate Complete or Partial Response (time frame: 26 cycles of chemotherapy - up to 3 years after enrollment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01553149, 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 7 Jan 2025.
