Phase II Trial of Temozolomide, Carboplatin and Neupogen in High-Grade Gliomas, Both Newly-Diagnosed and Recurrent
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the response rate in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade glioma treated
with temozolomide, carboplatin, and filgrastim (G-CSF).
- Determine the toxicity of this treatment regimen in these patients.
- Determine the rate of tumor progression in patients treated with this regimen.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease category
(glioblastoma multiforme vs anaplastic astrocytoma vs several other high-grade mixed
gliomas).
Patients receive carboplatin IV over 4 hours on days 1-2; oral temozolomide every 12 hours
on days 1-5; and filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV daily starting no earlier than day
7 and continuing until blood counts recover. Treatment repeats every 28 days for at least 4
courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 102-222 (17-37 per each of 6 strata) will be accrued for this
study within 4 years.
