Trial Information

A Phase II Trial Of Pre-Irradiation And Concurrent Temozolomide In Patients With Newly Diagnosed Anaplastic Oligodendrogliomas And Mixed Anaplastic Oligoastrocytomas


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the rate of progression in patients with newly diagnosed anaplastic
oligodendrogliomas or mixed anaplastic oligoastrocytomas treated with neoadjuvant and
concurrent temozolomide with radiotherapy.

- Determine the toxicity of this regimen in these patients.

- Determine the survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to response to
neoadjuvant temozolomide (stable disease or partial response [PR] vs complete response
[CR]).

Patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-7 and 15-21. Treatment repeats every 28 days
for up to 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients
with CR or PR receive 2 courses beyond CR or PR.

Within 6 weeks after completion of neoadjuvant temozolomide, patients with stable disease or
PR undergo radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6.5 weeks. Patients also receive oral temozolomide
daily for 42 days concurrently with radiotherapy.

Patients with CR after completion of neoadjuvant temozolomide undergo observation.

Patients are followed at 9 and 12 months, every 4 months for 1 year, every 6 months for 3
years, and then annually thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 37 patients will be accrued for this study within 12 months.
