About this study

Official title: Proton and Heavy Ion Beam Radiation Versus Photon Beam Radiation for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma: A Multi-center Prospective Phase 3 Randomized Control Clinical Trial.

This is a multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial to explore the efficacy and side effects of standard-dose photon radiation versus standard-dose proton radiation versus carbon ion boost plus standard proton radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The patients enrolled will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three group: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy; Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy; Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Read the detailed description

This multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial will enroll 369 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Patients will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three groups: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy (60 Gy); Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE); Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE) plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost (15GyE/3F). All patients will receive concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide according to the Stupp protocol. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint is progression-free survival, side effect and quality life.

What participants receive

  • RadiotherapyRadiation

    Multimodal brain imaging-guided radiotherapy using different beams

Study groups in NCT04536649
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Standard-dose Photon RadiotherapyExperimentalThe patients will receive standard-dose photon radiation (60Gy/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle)
Receives: Radiation: Radiotherapy
Standard-dose Proton RadiotherapyExperimentalThe patients will receive standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).
Receives: Radiation: Radiotherapy
Standard-dose Proton Radiotherapy plus Carbon-Ion BoostExperimentalThe patients will receive carbon-ion radiation boost (15GyE/3F for residual lesion) priot to standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), then adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).
Receives: Radiation: Radiotherapy

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Survival

    The interval from randomization to death

    Measured: From the pathological confirmation to death, a median of 3 years.

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression-free Survival

    The interval from randomization to progression or death

    Measured: From randomization to tumor progression, with a median of 3 years.

  2. Toxicities

    The scores of toxicities are based on CTCAE criteria, which refers to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

    Measured: From start to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

  3. Recognitive Function

    The assessment of recognitive function is based on MMSE criteria, which refers to Mini-Mental State Examination.

    Measured: From initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

  4. Life Quality

    The assessment of life quality is based on ADL criteria, which refers to Activities of Daily Living.

    Measured: From initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Radiotherapy in people with Glioblastoma, run by Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center at 1 site in China.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2020. 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 China. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jiade J Lu, M.D. (021-38296516 ext. 86, jiade.lu@sphic.org.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (time frame: From the pathological confirmation to death, a median of 3 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 2 Sep 2020.
