Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Low-Grade Glioma

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
CNS Tumor, Adult
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00313729
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: 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.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well temozolomide works in treating patients with supratentorial low-grade glioma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

* Determine the efficacy of temozolomide, defined as response rate (complete and partial response), in patients with supratentorial mixed low-grade glioma.

Secondary

* Assess the safety profile of temozolomide in patients with supratentorial low-grade glioma.

* Assess the time to tumor progression in patients treated with temozolomide.

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 1 year, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 120 patients will be accrued for this study.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Response Rate (Complete and Partial Response)12 months

Assessment of treatment response was determined by MRI in conjunction with neurological examination and steroid requirement assessment derived from Macdonald's criteria. Complete response was defined as complete disappearance of lesion on consecutive MRI scans with stable or improved neuro exam and steroids. Partial response was defined as a 50% reduction in lesion size or that tumor burden was "definitely better" than prior scan with stable or improved neuro exam and steroids.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Safety ProfileTime from registration up to 13 months

Number of participants with treatment related grade 2-4 adverse events as defined by CTCAE 3.0

Time to Tumor Progressiontime from registration until date of the first documented progression, an average of 1 year

Progressive disease was defined as definite enlargement of any existing lesion or any new lesion based on modified Macdonald's criteria.
