Phase III Trial of Anaplastic Glioma Without 1p/19q Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH)
Study Purpose
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with temozolomide may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether giving temozolomide during and/or after radiation therapy is more effective than radiation therapy alone in treating anaplastic glioma. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving temozolomide during and/or after radiation therapy to see how well it works compared to radiation therapy alone in treating patients with anaplastic glioma.

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT00626990 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |

OBJECTIVES: Primary.
- - To assess whether concurrent radiotherapy with daily temozolomide improves overall survival as compared to no daily temozolomide in patients with non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma.
- - To assess whether adjuvant temozolomide improves survival as compared to no adjuvant temozolomide in patients with non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma.
- - To assess whether concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide prolongs progression-free survival and neurological deterioration-free survival in patients with non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma.
- - To assess the safety of concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide in patients with non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma, including late effects on cognition.
- - To assess the impact of concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide on the quality of life of patients with non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma.
- - Arm I: Patients undergo radiotherapy* once daily, 5 days a week, for 6.5 weeks (total of 33 fractions).
- - Arm II: Patients undergo radiotherapy* once daily, 5 days a week and receive oral temozolomide once daily for 6.5 weeks (total of 33 fractions of radiotherapy).
- - Arm III: Patients undergo radiotherapy* once daily, 5 days a week for 6.5 weeks (total of 33 fractions).
- - Arm IV: Patients undergo radiotherapy* once daily, 5 days a week and receive oral temozolomide once daily for 6.5 weeks (total of 33 fractions of radiotherapy).
- - Patients must begin radiotherapy within 8 days after randomization and within 7 weeks after surgery.
Arms
Active Comparator: Radiotherapy (RT) alone
radiation therapy alone
Active Comparator: RT & Concurrent CT
Radiotherapy and concurrent temozolomide chemotherapy
Active Comparator: RT + Adjuvant CT
Radiotherapy plus adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy
Active Comparator: RT & Concurrent CT + adjuvant CT
Radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy plus adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy
Interventions
Drug: - temozolomide
Patients randomized to concomitant temozolomide will receive temozolomide continuously at a daily dose of 75 mg/m² during radiotherapy.
Genetic: - DNA methylation analysis
O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase (MGMT) methylation status is used for stratification at randomization.
Other: - laboratory biomarker analysis
Prognostic factor analyses
Procedure: - adjuvant therapy
Patients randomized to adjuvant temozolomide will start adjuvant temozolomide after a 4 week resting period after the end of radiotherapy.
Procedure: - quality-of-life assessment
Quality of Life analysis will also be used to assess neurological deterioration free progression
Radiation: - radiation therapy
Radiotherapy will consist of a conventionally fractionated regimen for 6.5 weeks in a once daily schedule
