About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Singal-arm Clinical Study of Recombinant Human Endostatin (ENDOSTAR) Combined With Carboplatin and Vincristine in the Treatment of Low-grade Gliomas in Children

Low-grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common intracranial tumors in children, accounting for about 40% of intracranial tumors in children. The biological characteristics and clinical prognosis of LGGs vary greatly, and they can present different biological characteristics such as restricted growth, invasive growth, and malignant transformation during their development. The prognosis of LGGs is related to the degree of tumor resection, histological type, and whether it has spread.

For LGGs, surgical resection is the main treatment method. However, many tumors located in the visual pathway, brainstem, hypothalamus and other midline parts, it is impossible to completely remove. Radiotherapy can effectively control tumor progression to a certain extent, but radiotherapy can cause obvious and serious delayed damage, such as cognitive impairment, endocrine disorders, cerebrovascular events, and second tumors. Chemotherapy can effectively treat LGGs in children, and can postpone or avoid radiotherapy. It is the preferred treatment for children with LGGs after surgery. Carboplatin combined with vincristine, the CV regimen, is currently the main chemotherapy regimen for the treatment of children with LGGs.

Anti-angiogenesis is a new type of treatment. Bevacizumab, a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Among children with relapsed, refractory or progressing LGGs, the effective rate of Bev combined with irinotecan was 44%, and the 6-month and 2-year progression-free survival rates were 85% and 48%, respectively. However, almost all of them were treated with Bev progressed again. Tumor growth is more aggressive after Bev treatment fails. Recombinant human endostatin (rh-ES) is an endogenous broad-spectrum angiogenesis inhibitor that has been shown to significantly improve therapeutic efficacy when combining with conventional chemotherapy agents in non-small-cell lung cancer, breast cancer and melanoma.Previous retrospective studies of the research team found that rh-ES combined with CV can treat LGGs in children effectively, shorten the onset time, help quickly alleviate the symptoms of brainstem damage, and improve the quality of life.

This study intends to use prospective clinical studies to further confirm the efficacy and safety of the anti-angiogenic drug rh-ES combined with traditional CV regimens in the treatment of children with LGGs.

What participants receive

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

  • combined therapy with rh-ES and CVDrug

    All the patients receive combined therapy with recombinant human endostatin and traditional weekly CV regimen.

    Carboplatin is administered at a dose of 220 mg/m2. Vincristine is administered at a dose of 1.5 mg/m2 (maximum dose 2 mg). Recombinant human endostatin (rh-ES) is administrated at a dose of 15mg daily, for 14 consecutive days every 3 weeks.

What is being measured

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

    Measured: up to 5years

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. median time to response

    Time interval from the beginning of chemotherapy to achieving CR, PR or MR

    Measured: up to 5years

  2. Progression-free survival

    the time interval from treatment initiation to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: up to 5years

  3. Overall survival

    the time interval from treatment initiation to death from any cause.

    Measured: up to 5years

  4. The correlation between KPS change and efficacy

    the correlation between KPS baseline, KPS change (increase, decrease,stable) and best efficacy (CR, PR, SD, PD).

    Measured: up to 5years

  5. Frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v5.0

    Frequency and severity of treatment-related adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0

    Measured: up to 5years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing combined therapy with rh-ES and CV in people with Low-grade Glioma and Pediatric Brain Tumor, run by Beijing Sanbo Brain Hospital 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 12 inclusion and 13 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 24 Jul 2023. 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 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?

objective response rate (time frame: up to 5years). 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 24 Jul 2023.
