Cediranib in Combination With Lomustine Chemotherapy in Recurrent Glioblastoma

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Recurrent Glioblastoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00777153
Lead Sponsor
AstraZeneca
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to see how effective cediranib is in treating a brain tumour called recurrent glioblastoma. Two drugs are being tested in this study. Lomustine is an approved oral chemotherapy that belongs to the class of drugs called alkylating agents. Cediranib is a new drug that has not yet been approved for this disease. This study will compare the use of lomustine with cediranib, cediranib alone or lomustine with placebo ("inactive substance") to see whether the combination or cediranib alone will be more effective than the chemotherapy alone (lomustine) in preventing the growth of cancer cells.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression Free Survival (PFS)Baseline at 6 weeks and then every 6 weeks to discontinuation

For patients with measurable disease at entry (at least one lesion that has a shortest diameter

≥10 mm at baseline on 2 axial slices), PFS will be defined as the earliest time that:

1. The sum of the products of the largest perpendicular diameters of contrast enhancement for all lesions has increased by a greater than or equal to 25% in comparison to the nadir scan as long as the shortest diameter is ≥15 mm. If the dose of steroids has been reduced within the 10 days prior to the scan being conducted, progression will be based on a follow-up scan performed after the dose of steroids has been stabilized for 10 days.

2. The patient has died from any cause.

3. A new lesion is detected that is outside the original tumor volume and has a shortest diameter ≥10 mm.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall Survival (OS)Baseline through to date of death up to 25th April 2010

Number of months from randomisation to the date of death from any cause

Response RateBaseline at 6 weeks and then every 6 weeks to discontinuation

An individual visit response of PR was defined as a greater than or equal to 50% reduction in the sum of the products of the largest perpendicular diameters of contrast enhancement for all lesions compared to baseline as long as the steroid dose has not been increased within the previous 10 days and no new lesions are present.

An individual visit response of CR was defined as the complete disappearance of all tumor on MRI scan.

Alive and Progression Free Rate at 6 Months (APF6)6 Months

Proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months (based on central review) as estimated from Kaplan-Meier techniques. Values are percentages.

Daily Steroid DoseBaseline to the date of first documented progression or date of death or study discontinuation, whichever came first, assed up to 2014-April-25

The mean steroid dosage prior to treatment will be considered as the patient's baseline. The percent change in average daily steroid dosage from baseline is calculated by following formula: PC = (md - bm)/bm\*100; where PC is the percent change in average daily steroid dosage from baseline; md the mean daily steroid dosage recorded from the first day of therapy to progression; and bm the baseline mean.

Steroid Free DaysBaseline to the date of first documented progression or date of death or study discontinuation, whichever came first, assessed up to 2014-April-25

Number of days known not to have used any steroids prior to progression
