  • Ages 18 to 120 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a histologically documented primary, recurrent or residual meningioma which is unresectable.
  • Patients must have active meningioma, which is defined to be one of the following:
  • Progressive disease within the past 2 years.
  • Recurrent Disease, as defined by the reappearance of a previously completely resected meningioma, within the past two years.
  • New disease, defined as a diagnosis of meningioma within the previous two years
  • Patients must have measurable or evaluable disease which is documented on CT or MRI scan.

  • Patients should have already received radiotherapy unless radiotherapy is inappropriate due to tumor location(s) or unless radiotherapy, after discussion with the patient's physician, has been refused. If patients have received prior radiotherapy, this treatment must have been completed more than one year prior to study entry with documented progressive disease since completion of radiotherapy.
  • Patients must be 18 years or older, and must have a performance status 0-2 by Southwest Oncology Group criteria.
  • Patients must not have received prior cytotoxic chemotherapy for meningioma.
  • Patients must have serum creatinine, SGOT, and bilirubin ≤ 2 x IULN.
  • Patients requiring simultaneous administration of corticosteroids for cerebral edema must have been receiving a stable dose of corticosteroids for at least 4 weeks prior to study entry.
  • Patients receiving anti-epileptic medications are eligible. However barbiturates should be avoided if possible.
  • Patients with meningiomatosis (diffuse meningeal infiltration resulting in only nonevaluable meningeal thickening) are not eligible. However, patients with multiple measurable or evaluable meningioma tumor masses are eligible.
  • Patients with malignant meningioma are not eligible. Malignant meningioma is defined as meningioma that demonstrates hypercellularity, loss of architecture, nuclear pleomorphism, numerous mitoses, focal necrosis, and brain invasion.
  • Patients who have had additive or ablative modulation of sex hormone or glucocorticoid pathways within the preceding 3 months (not including stable corticosteroid therapy for cerebral edema) are not eligible. Such modulations include but are not limited to birth control pills, bilateral oophorectomy or orchiectomy, progestational inserts, oral or vaginal exogenous estrogens, androgens or antiandrogens, progestational agonists, tamoxifen, aminoglutethimide, o,p-DDD, ACTH, glucocorticoids not for cerebral edema, and leuprolides (or other LH-RH inhibitors). Patients must not have received prior mifepristone therapy for meningioma.
  • Patients must not have serious intercurrent medical illness; that is, any illness that in the opinion of the investigator would prevent following the study regimen.
  • Patients with clinical adrenal insufficiency requiring exogenous corticosteroid replacement are not eligible.
  • Patients with a known allergy to mifepristone are not eligible.
  • Patients with base of brain, cavernous sinus or optic nerve meningiomas or with visual symptoms must have a formal visual field examination.
  • Pregnant or lactating women may not participate. Pre-menopausal women and men of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective local contraceptive method (such as a condom, diaphragm, or IUD) or abstinence during and for 3 months after study therapy.
  • Patients with other prior or concurrent malignancy within the preceding 5 years, except surgically treated squamous or basal cell skin cancer or cervical cancer in situ, are not eligible.

What participants receive

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

  • MifepristoneDrug

    Also called RU-486

    a 19 norsteroid with anti-progesterone and anti glucocorticoid activity which competitively inhibits binding of the hormone to its receptor

  • PlaceboOther

What is being measured

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

  1. Time to Treatment Failure

    From date of registration to first date of documentation of one of the following:

    1. Progression (clear worsening of evaluable disease must be confirmed by 2 investigators).
    2. Significant deterioration of at least one neurologic symptom
    3. Discontinuation of treatment for any reason.
    4. Death from any cause.

    Measured: 6 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Patients will be followed for adverse events as defined by the SWOG toxicity criteria

    Measured: two years after beginning treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Mifepristone in people with Meningioma, run by SWOG Cancer Research Network.

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 22 inclusion and 0 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 23 Dec 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Time to Treatment Failure (time frame: 6 years). 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 23 Dec 2019.
