Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety and Tolerability of Low-Dose Temozolomide During Whole Brain Radiation in Patients With Cerebral Metastases From Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (Study P04071)(TERMINATED) (NCT NCT00266812)

NCT ID: NCT00266812

Last Updated: 2017-06-08

Results Overview

The occurrence of progression will be compared between the study groups by Kaplan-Meier curves. Responsiveness to temozolomide will be evaluated by brain Magnetic Resonance Imanging (MRI)/Computed Tomography (CT), thorax CT, and Quality of Life (QoL) assessments. Progression-free is defined as \<25% increase in tumor size on CT or MRI.

Measure
Chemotherapy With Temozolomide and Radiotherapy
Oral temozolomide 75mg/m2/day for 14 days, during radiation treatment, and later on temozolomide 100mg/m2/day at 14 days on/14 days off, until unacceptable toxicity or evidence of disease progression for up to 6 cycles from initial treatment. Radiotherapy (as in Intervention 2).
Radiotherapy Alone
2 regimens are allowed: a) 20 fractions of 2 Gray each, on days 1 to 5, 8 to 12, 15 to 19, and 22 to 26; b) 10 fractions of 3 Gray each, administered on days 1 to 5 and 8 to 12.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Intent to treat (ITT) population (31 of the 35 patients enrolled; 4 participants discontinued prior to start of treatment) was analyzed.

The occurrence of progression will be compared between the study groups by Kaplan-Meier curves. Responsiveness to temozolomide will be evaluated by brain Magnetic Resonance Imanging (MRI)/Computed Tomography (CT), thorax CT, and Quality of Life (QoL) assessments. Progression-free is defined as \<25% increase in tumor size on CT or MRI.
