About this study

Official title: Image Guided Reirradiation of High-grade Glioma - a Phase I/II Dose Escalation Study

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the short- and long term toxicity of radiotherapy to patients with recurrent high-grade glioma who have previously received radiotherapy and to determine the best dose and treatment regimen. Positron emission tomography (PET) using an amino acid tracer, 18-fluoro-ethyltyrosine (18F-FET), is used for target delineation.The study examines, in four sequential treatment groups, the effect of dose, hypofractionation and treatment volume on toxicity. Upon completion of the phase I part, the study progresses to phase II where the best dose- and treatment regimen will be chosen for treatment.

What participants receive

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

  • External beam radiotherapyRadiation

    Study group 1: 3.5 Gray x 10, 5 fractions per week. Study group 2: 3.5 Gray x 10 + 7 Gray boost to biological target volume, 5 fractions per week. Study group 3: 5.9 Gray x 10, 5 fractions per week. Study group 4 (planning target volumes: 100 millilitres - 300 millilitres): 3.5 Gray x 10, 5 fractions per week. Phase II dosis: to be chosen based on results of phase I study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Toxicity

    Early (<4 weeks) and late (> 4 weeks) toxicity evaluated by Common Toxicity Criteria ver. 3.0 at multiple time points up to one year after treatment. (for phase I part of the study)

    Measured: One year

  2. Diagnostic precision of 18F-FET-PET imaging in recurrent high-grade glioma

    Diagnostic accuracy (positive- and negative predictive value) of 18F-FET-PET guided biopsies (optional procedure) in patients who will receive reirradiation for recurrent high-grade glioma in the study. (for phase I part of the study).

    Measured: Approximately one to two weeks prior to radiotherapy

  3. Time to neurocognitive decline

    Time to neurocognitive decline assessed using a test battery comprised of validated tests at multiple time points. (for phase II part of the study)

    Measured: Up to one year

  4. Time to progression

    Time to disease progression evaluated by RANO (Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology) criteria (for phase II part of the study).

    Measured: Up to one year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Value of 18F-FET-PET in reirradiation of high-grade glioma

    Prognostic value of 18F-FET-PET scan at baseline, value of 18F-FET-PET as an early response marker and correlations between 18F-FET-PET scans and magnetic resonance imaging.

    Measured: One year

  2. Objective response rate

    Rate of objective tumor responses following treatment evaluated by RANO criteria and by 18F-FET-PET.

    Measured: Up to one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing External beam radiotherapy in people with Malignant Glioma and Glioblastoma, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 2 sites in 2 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 7 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Denmark, Sweden. 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?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow accrual). 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?

Toxicity (time frame: One year). The study lists 4 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 Feb 2017.
