Proton and Heavy Ion Beam Radiation vs. Photon Beam Radiation for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma.

Phase 3
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Glioblastoma
Interventions
Radiation: Radiotherapy
Registration Number
NCT04536649
Lead Sponsor
Shanghai Proton and Heavy Ion Center
Brief Summary

This is a multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial to explore the efficacy and side effects of standard-dose photon radiation versus standard-dose proton radiation versus carbon ion boost plus standard proton radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The patients enrolled will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three group: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy; Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy; Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Detailed Description

This multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial will enroll 369 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Patients will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three groups: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy (60 Gy); Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE); Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE) plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost (15GyE/3F). All patients will receive concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide according to the Stupp protocol. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint is progression-free survival, side effect and quality life.

GroupInterventionDescription
Standard-dose Proton RadiotherapyRadiotherapyThe patients will receive standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).
Standard-dose Photon RadiotherapyRadiotherapyThe patients will receive standard-dose photon radiation (60Gy/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle)
Standard-dose Proton Radiotherapy plus Carbon-Ion BoostRadiotherapyThe patients will receive carbon-ion radiation boost (15GyE/3F for residual lesion) priot to standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), then adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall SurvivalFrom the pathological confirmation to death, a median of 3 years.

The interval from randomization to death

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free SurvivalFrom randomization to tumor progression, with a median of 3 years.

The interval from randomization to progression or death

ToxicitiesFrom start to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

The scores of toxicities are based on CTCAE criteria, which refers to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

Life QualityFrom initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

The assessment of life quality is based on ADL criteria, which refers to Activities of Daily Living.

Recognitive FunctionFrom initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.

The assessment of recognitive function is based on MMSE criteria, which refers to Mini-Mental State Examination.
