SCH 52365 Phase II Clinical Study in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Radiotherapy and Temozolomide for Glioblastoma. Completed, enrolled 30 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of combination therapy of radiotherapy and temozolomide ("concomitant radiotherapy phase"), and then temozolomide monotherapy ("monotherapy phase"), in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Progression free survival and response rate will also be calculated.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Radiotherapy will be administered in combination with temozolomide during the concomitant radiotherapy phase. Radiotherapy will consist of a conventionally fractioned regimen, delivering a total dose of 60 Gy in 6 weeks, in a once daily schedule of 2 Gy per fraction, for a total of 30 fractions. Radiation will be provided by a linear accelerator of x ray energy of 4 MV or higher.
During the concomitant radiotherapy phase (6 weeks), temozolomide will be administered in combination with radiotherapy, once daily at 75 mg/m2/day. Then, during the monotherapy phase, subjects will receive 6 cycles of temozolomide alone. Each cycle will last 28 days, and temozolomide will be administered once daily from Day 1 to Day 5 of each cycle. The dose of temozolomide in the first cycle will be 150 mg/m2/day, and may be increased to 200 mg/m2/day for Cycle 2 and subsequent cycles depending on nonhematologic toxicity observed and neutrophil and platelet count values. Capsules containing 5 mg, 20 mg, or 100 mg of temozolomide will be combined to achieve each subject's calculated dose.
