About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Multicenter Trial Evaluating the Association of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Radiation Therapy and the Anti-Programmed Death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) Durvalumab (Medi4736) for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (STERIMGLI)

This study is a phase I/II, national, multicenter, open-label study starting with a Phase I part followed by a Phase II part.

The phase I part of the study aims to evaluate the safety of the association of hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy (hFSRT) and the anti-PD-L1 Durvalumab immunotherapy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. A maximum number of 12 patients will be enrolled in this phase I part.

Once the recommended combination schema will be declared, patients will be enrolled in the Phase II part of the study in order to evaluate the efficacy (overall survival) of the combined treatment in recurrent glioblastoma. In this Phase II part, 100 patients will be assigned by randomization to one of the two following arms:

  • Arm A (control arm): Radiation therapy alone
  • Arm B (Experimental arm): Combined treatment with Anti-PD-L1 Durvalumab
Conditions
Glioblastoma

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase I: Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) incidence

    For each patient of the phase I part, DLT incidence will be evaluated until one month after the last radiotherapy fraction.

    Measured: 8 months

  2. Phase II: overall survival

    Measured: 36 months post randomization

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Phase I and II: Intracranial progression-free interval

    Intracranial progression-free interval is defined by the time from inclusion (for phase I) or randomization (for phase II) to local or distant (outside the re-irradiated volume) progression. Patients without progression at last follow-up news are censored at this date.

    Measured: 27 months

  2. Phase I: Safety and tolerability according to the classification of the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03

    Measured: 19 months

  3. Phase I and II: Quality of life using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life questionnaire (QLQ C30).

    Measured: 27 months

  4. Phase I and II : Quality of life using the using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire-Brain Neoplasm (QLQ-BN20).

    Measured: 27 months

  5. Phase I and II: Neurologic and neurocognitive functions using Neurologic Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (NANO) scale.

    Measured: 27 months

  6. Phase I and II: Neurologic and neurocognitive functions using Neurologic Assessment in Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tests.

    Measured: 27 months

  7. Phase II: Time to Quality of Life (QoL) deterioration.

    Time to QoL deterioration is defined as the time interval between randomization and first decrease in QoL score greater or equal to 5 points. Patients without such a QoL decrease will be censored at last follow-up news or at initiation of a new therapeutic strategy.

    Measured: 27 months

  8. Phase II: time to neurocognitive deterioration

    Time to neurocognitive deterioration is defined as the time interval between randomization and first of 3 points difference in MoCA as minimal clinically important difference. Patients without such a neurocognitive decrease will be censored at last follow-up news or at initiation of a new therapeutic strategy.

    Measured: 27 months

  9. Phase II: Immune-related intracranial progression-free interval

    Immune-related intracranial progression-free interval is defined by the time from randomization to local or distant (outside the re-irradiated volume) progression (based on immunotherapy Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology iRANO). Patients without progression at last follow-up news are censored at this date.

    Measured: 27 months

  10. Phase II: Acute and late toxicities according to the classification of the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (NCI-CTCAE) version 4.03

    Measured: 27 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy and Durvalumab in people with Glioblastoma, run by Institut Claudius Regaud at 10 sites in France.

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 24 inclusion and 26 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 14 Apr 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in France. 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 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?

Phase I: Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) incidence (time frame: 8 months). 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 NCT02866747, 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 14 Apr 2026.
