Key requirements

Who may be able to join

  • MRI lesions of the brain that have a high probability of being glioblastoma in a potentially resectable location in the brain (the primary study population)
  • WHO performance status 0-2 (to allow comparison to historical controls)
  • Adequate hematological parameters: (for safety because of neutropenia from the temozolomide)

About this study

Official title: Phase I Pilot Study of Preoperative Chemoradiation for Glioblastoma

Trial to determine the safety of neoadjuvant treatment with concurrent temozolomide and radiation therapy, followed by surgery and then further temozolomide.

Read the detailed description

Prior to any definitive treatment and after enrollment, the patient will undergo stereotactic biopsy of the lesion to confirm the histology of the lesion and to determine methylated methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) status. Standard image-guided stereotactic technique will be used. Patients will be treated with conformal radiation therapy. Temozolomide will be given from the day prior to radiation therapy through the last day of radiation therapy. 4-6 weeks after radiation therapy the patient will undergo craniotomy and maximal safe resection. Temozolomide will continue beginning 4 weeks after surgery.

Imaging:

MRI within 2 weeks prior to the start of the protocol. MRI at 4 weeks after chemoradiation therapy and prior to surgery. MRI within 48 hours after surgery.

MRI after every 2 cycles of chemotherapy and then every 2 months until progression, up to 2 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. toxicity of treatment per Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects V3.0

    comparison of toxicity related to experimental treatment to historical local controls

    Measured: up to up to 16 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Feasibility of measurement of O(6)-Methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) activity on stereotactic samples

    determination of the feasibility of using standard MGMT activity measurement techniques on stereotactic specimens and comparison of the results with the results from the full resection.

    Measured: at enrollment

  2. progression free survival

    Measured: up to 12 months

  3. overall survival

    Measured: up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Temozolomide, partial brain irradiation and stereotactic biopsy of brain tumor in people with Glioblastoma, run by Tampa General Hospital 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 7 inclusion and 4 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 10 Nov 2015. 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 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.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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 of treatment per Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects V3.0 (time frame: up to up to 16 weeks). 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 10 Nov 2015.
