Trial Information

A Phase II Pilot Trial of Radiation Therapy With Concurrent and Adjuvant Temozolomide, Tamoxifen and Carboplatin (T2C) in the Treatment of Patients With Primary Central Nervous System Malignant Gliomas


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the progression-free and overall survival of patients with supratentorial
malignant gliomas (WHO grade III or IV) receiving radiotherapy with concurrent and
adjuvant temozolomide, tamoxifen citrate, and carboplatin.

- Determine the acute and delayed treatment-related toxicities in these patients.

- Determine tumor response in patients with postoperative measurable disease.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, pilot study.

- Induction therapy: Patients receive oral temozolomide twice daily and oral tamoxifen
citrate twice daily on days 1-42 and carboplatin IV over 60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15,
22, 29, and 36. Patients also receive radiotherapy on days 1-5 in weeks 1-6.

- Consolidation therapy: Beginning 4 weeks after the completion of induction therapy,
patients receive temozolomide, tamoxifen citrate, and carboplatin as in induction
therapy. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks for up to 4 courses in the absence of disease
progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 5 years.
