  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Who cannot join

  • Participants may not be receiving any other study agents.
  • Participants may not have had chemotherapy wafer placement at surgery.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to temozolomide.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Individuals with a history of a different malignancy are ineligible except for the following circumstances. Individuals with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been disease-free for at least 3 years and are deemed by the investigator to be at low risk for recurrence of that malignancy. Individuals with the following cancers are eligible if diagnosed and treated within the past 5 years: cervical cancer in situ, and basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • HIV-positive individuals on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with temozolomide. In addition, these individuals are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in participants receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.

About this study

Official title: A Phase I/ II Study of Hypofractionated Radiotherapy With Concurrent Temozolomide Followed by Adjuvant Temozolomide in Patients Over 70 Years Old With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

In this study we propose to determine outcomes of patients age 70 or older treated with radiation over 2 weeks given with temozolomide 75 mg/m2 daily during radiotherapy and as a post radiation treatment of 150 mg/m2 - 200 mg /m2 for 6 cycles or until the disease progresses.

Conditions
Glioblastoma
Being tested
Hypofractionated radiotherapy, Temozolomide
Medical subject headings
Glioblastoma

What participants receive

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

  • Hypofractionated radiotherapyRadiation

    Treatment of 3.4 Gy will be given daily 5 days per week over 2 weeks.

  • TemozolomideDrug

    Also called Brand name Temodar

    During concomitant phase Temozolomide will be administered orally at 75 mg/m2 for 2 weeks concomitant with radiotherapy. During the adjuvant phase Temozolomide will be administered orally at 150 mg/m2 on days 1 through day 5 of each 28 day cycle for a maximum of 6 cycles.

Hypofractionated radiotherapy and temozolomideExperimentalAll subjects will receive treatment as is a single arm study. Two weeks of combined hypofractionated radiotherapy with concurrent temozolomide followed by up to 6 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients who stop treatment due to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or above toxicities..

    If < 4 out of 10 patients in the initial analysis stop treatment due to toxicity it can proceed to phase II.

    Measured: baseline, 14-28 days post-surgery, 4 weeks post chemo-radiation therapy, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months post Radiation Therapy

  2. Overall survival

    Survival status will be collected after completion of chemo-radiation at minimum every 3 months for up to 12 months, then every 6 months until date of death.

    Measured: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Estimate progression-free survival (PFS)

    Survival/Documentation of progressive disease status will be collected every 3 months post chemo-radiation up to 12 months, then every 6 months until death, or from the date of disease progression, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision), or from the date of the last dose of study drug (concomitant or adjuvant) if no disease progression.

    Measured: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

  2. Tolerability (feasibility) of hypo-fractionated radiaton therapy and Temozolomide

    Quality of life will be measured by Fact-BR assessment.

    Measured: From date of intervention until the date of first documented disease progression or death, the date of study discontinuation (e.g. toxicity, PI decision) or death from any cause, whichever is first, assessed up to 100 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Hypofractionated radiotherapy and Temozolomide in people with Glioblastoma, run by University of Louisville at 1 site in United States.

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 14 inclusion and 6 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 31 Oct 2024. 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 United States. 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?

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 stop treatment due to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 3 or above toxicities.. (time frame: baseline, 14-28 days post-surgery, 4 weeks post chemo-radiation therapy, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 months post Radiation Therapy). 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?
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 31 Oct 2024.
