Trial Information

A Phase II Trial of Continuous Low-Dose Temozolomide for Patients With Recurrent Malignant Glioma


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- Determine the progression-free survival rate at 6 months in patients with recurrent
glioblastoma multiforme or other malignant glioma treated with temozolomide.

Secondary

- Determine the overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the radiographic response rate in patients treated with this drug.

- Determine the toxicity of this drug in theses patients.

- Determine the event-free survival of patients treated with this drug.

- Determine time to treatment failure.

Tertiary

- Evaluate surrogate markers for neo-angiogenesis to assess whether this mechanism plays
a role in response in patients treated with this drug. (Samples are no longer being
collected and tested as of 1/12/09)

OUTLINE: Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily in the absence of disease progression
or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood samples are collected at baseline and every 2 months for 2 years for evaluation of
markers of neo-angiogenesis. Samples are analyzed by protein expression,
reverse-transcriptase PCR, ELISA, and western blot. (Samples are no longer being collected
and tested as of 1/12/09)
