Neoadjuvant Temozolomide Combined With Simultaneous IMRT for Treatment of Glioblastoma

Phase 3

• Conditions: Glioblastoma
• Interventions: Combination Product: Temozolomide

• Registration Number: NCT04829097
• Lead Sponsor: The Affiliated Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School

Brief Summary

This study is a prospective, multi-center, randomized controlled clinical study. Indications: Glioblastoma diagnosed after surgery (WHO grade IV). The patient received conventional postoperative concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or neoadjuvant temozolomide combined with concurrent increased intensity-modulated radiotherapy. According to data from previous clinical trials, conventional doses of concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy PFS 6.9 months neoadjuvant temozolomide combined with concurrently increased intensity-modulated radiotherapy PFS 13.7 months, an estimated 20% leakage rate, and a total sample size of 80 patients.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
SIB-IMRT	Temozolomide	1. New auxiliary TMZ period: oral TMZ 75mg/m2, qd, continued until the beginning of radiotherapy. 2. Concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy period: 4 weeks in total. Prior to treatment, radiotherapy positioning and planning were established, using SIB-IMRT technology, the irradiation range, the tumor residual area 60Gy/20f/4w, the tumor bed area 40Gy/20f/4w, 1 time/d, 5 times/w. During radiotherapy, TMZ will continue to be administered orally simultaneously, the specific dose: TMZ 75mg/m2 qd, until 42 days. 3. Intermediate rest period: 4 weeks in total. ;4. TMZ adjuvant chemotherapy period: 6 to 12 months in total. Cycle 1: TMZ 150mg/m2, d1-5, q28d; if the patient can tolerate it, cycles 2-12: TMZ 200mg/m2, d1-5, q28d; after cycles 3, 6, 9, and 12 of adjuvant chemotherapy Head functional magnetic resonance examination was performed to assess the size of residual lesions and edema.
CRT	Temozolomide	1. Concurrent radiotherapy and chemotherapy period: 6 weeks in total. Radiotherapy positioning and planning before treatment, using CRT technology, irradiation range, tumor bed area, 60Gy/30f/6w, 1 time/d, 5 times/w, simultaneous TMZ oral administration on the first day of radiotherapy, specific dose: TMZ 75mg/m2 qd for 42 consecutive days; head functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed at the end of radiotherapy to assess the size of residual lesions and edema. 2. Intermediate rest period: 4 weeks in total. The patient will go to the hospital to recheck blood routine every week;3. TMZ adjuvant chemotherapy period: 6 to 12 months in total. Cycle 1: TMZ 150mg/m2, d1-5, q28d; if the patient can tolerate it, cycles 2-12: TMZ 200mg/m2, d1-5, q28d; head functional magnetic resonance imaging was performed after adjuvant chemotherapy in cycles 3, 6, 9, and 12 to assess the size of residual lesions and edema.
