Concomitant Association of Ultrafractionated Brain Irradiation - Temozolomide in Inoperable Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Glioblastoma Multiforme
Interventions
Radiation: Ultrafractionated brain irradiation
Registration Number
NCT03310372
Lead Sponsor
Central Hospital, Nancy, France
Brief Summary

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
partial responsethrough study completion, 2 years

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

progressionthrough study completion, 2 years

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

complete responsethrough study completion, 2 years

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

stabilizationthrough study completion, 2 years

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
treatment tolerancethrough study completion, 2 years

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

global survivalthrough study completion, 2 years
survival without tumor recurrencethrough study completion, 2 years

tumor recurrence detected with radiology examination

life qualitythrough study completion, 2 years

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