About this study

Official title: An Open-label, Single Arm Study to Explore Whether Potential Image Biomarkers Correlate With Efficacy of Bevacizumab Combined With Conventional Therapy in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

This is a single-center, open-label, single arm study to explore whether potential image biomarkers correlate with efficacy of bevacizumab combined with conventional therapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Despite the increase in therapies available, the median survival of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains less than 15 months.

The phase III pivotal study in newly diagnosed GBM also met its co-primary endpoint of progression-free survival (PFS) which further confirm the efficacy of bevacizumab in GBM.

Early predicting the efficacy of bevacizumab combined with conventional therapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma could help us to identify the suitable patients to receive suitable treatment in GBM. Thus, characterizing the blood flow and blood volume in the tumor and their changes during therapy might provide information on vasculature growth or collapse,edema formation, tumor growth, and/or cell death(necrosis) .We decided to investigate whether the estimation of blood circulation in tumor, using MRI,PET could be used as a surrogate marker to predict the early response of GBM to bevacizumab.

Several previous studies have demonstrated that the relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV) correlated with the histologic grade of gliomas and investigated the prognostic value of the tumor CBV for survival.In current study, We hypothesized that, the temporal changes during anti-angiogenesis therapy in specific regions of high and low perfusion in glioblastoma might predict the efficacy of bevacizumab.Since there is no mature PET tracer directly image Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) in China,we use 18F-Galacto-arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD)-- a new tracer for PET imaging of αvβ3 by testing Standardized uptake value mean (SUVmean),Standardized uptake value max (SUVmax) and tumor to non-tumor tissue ratios (T/NT) to indirectly reflect the VEGF expression. The integrin αvβ3 is an important receptor affecting tumor growth, local invasiveness, and metastatic potential. Specifically, αvβ3 is highly expressed on activated endothelial cells during angiogenesis.

Therefore, in the pilot study, we use dynamic contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI),dynamic susceptibility-contrast magnetic resonance imaging (DSC-MRI) and 18F-Galacto-RGD PET to explore the potential image biomarkers of bevacizumab used in newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Read the detailed description

20 patients with newly diagnosed histopathologically confirmed glioblastoma (WHO Grade IV) after surgery will be enrolled in the study. All of the patients will receive conventional concurrent chemoradiation and adjuvant temozolomide plus bevacizumab begin > 3 weeks and ≤ 5 weeks after surgery.

What participants receive

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

  • Chemoradiation TherapyOther

    Also called Radiation therapy, Temozolomide, Bevacizumab

    • Radiation therapy:For both intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT) plans, one treatment of 2 Gy will be given daily 5 days per week for a total of 60 Gy over 6 weeks.
    • Temozolomide will be administered continuously from day 1 of radiotherapy to the last day of radiation at a daily oral dose of 75 mg/m2 for a maximum of 49 days.
    • Bevacizumab will be administered intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle,at the beginning of the 4th week of radiation. The dose will be 10 mg/kg of actual body weight.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between image biomarker change and PFS

    PFS (evaluated by RANO criteria), defined as the interval from start of treatment to investigator-assessed progression or death, whichever occurs first or lost of follow-up.

    At Week 10 of the study (corresponding to 7 weeks after the commencement of bevacizumab therapy).

    Measured: At Week 10 of the study

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. To assess overall survival(OS)

    OS is the time interval from the start of treatment to death due to any reason or lost of follow-up.

    Measured: Up to 106 weeks

  2. To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR is the number of responders (CR, PR) vs. the whole study population.Tumor response will be evaluated according to the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.

    Measured: At baseline, on day 22, 70, 127, end of treatment and every 2 months of follow-up

  3. To evaluate health-related quality of life

    European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30

    Measured: On day 1, 22, 71, end of treatment and every 2 months of follow-up

  4. To assess the safety profile

    Safety will be measured based on the NCI-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE), v4.0

    Measured: Up to 106 weeks
