About this study

Official title: Phase II Clinical Trial of Concomitant Association of Ultrafractionated Brain Irradiation - Temozolomide in Inoperable Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme

The main purpose of this study is the evaluation of concomitant association of ultrafractionated irradiation and Temodal® in patients with inoperable primary glioblastoma multiforme; study of tolerance and objective response rate.

The secondary purposes of this study are the evaluation of progression free survival, global survival and tolerance through toxicity study. The therapeutic response according to methylation or not of MGMT is also evaluated.

Being tested
Ultrafractionated brain irradiation, Temozolomide
Medical subject headings
Glioblastoma

What is being measured

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

  1. complete response

    defined as total regression of tumor area contrast in MRI, with stability or amelioration of neurological status of patient without corticoids

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  2. partial response

    defined by at least 50% diminution of tumor size, evaluated by the product of 2 perpendicular diameters measured by MRI, with stability or amelioration of neurological status of patient receiving stable or reduced corticoid doses

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  3. stabilization

    corresponding to at least 50% diminution of tumor size in MRI, with stability of neurological status of patient receiving steady corticoid doses

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  4. progression

    defined by increase of at least 25% of tumor size and/or a second brain localization in MRI, with degradation of neurological status of patient

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. global survival

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  2. treatment tolerance

    evaluated by general, neurological and hematological status, according to National Cancer Institute-Common toxicity criteria (NCI-CTC)

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  3. survival without tumor recurrence

    tumor recurrence detected with radiology examination

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

  4. life quality

    evaluated with European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) core quality of life questionnaire (QLQ - C30)

    Measured: through study completion, 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ultrafractionated brain irradiation and Temozolomide in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 17 Oct 2017. 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. 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 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?

complete response (time frame: through study completion, 2 years). 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 17 Oct 2017.
