Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of Avastin (Bevacizumab) and Irinotecan Versus Temozolomide Radiochemistry in Patients With Glioblastoma (NCT NCT00967330)

NCT ID: NCT00967330

Last Updated: 2015-11-20

Results Overview

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to objective tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever came first. Progression was defined as 25 percent (%) increase in size of enhancing tumor or any new tumor on gadolinium contrast agent magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI) scans, or neurologically worse, and steroids stable or increased. Percentage of participants achieving PFS without disease progression or death was reported.

Measure
Bevacizumab + Irinotecan
In the Concurrent Phase participants received radiotherapy in daily fractions of 1.8 to 2 Gray (Gy) given 5 fractions per week for 6 to 7 weeks and intravenous infusion (IV) of bevacizumab (BEV) 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) body weight every 14 ± 2 days starting during the first week to the last week of radiotherapy. Participants then entered the Maintenance Phase where they received BEV 10 mg/kg body weight and IV irinotecan (IRI) 125 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) body surface area (BSA) or 340 mg/m\^2 BSA in participants not receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) or receiving EIAEDs, respectively for every 14± 2 days until progressive disease (PD) or for a maximum treatment period of 2 years after inclusion of the last participant.
Temozolomide
In the Concurrent Phase participants received radiotherapy in daily fractions of 1.8 to 2 Gy given 5 fractions per week for 6 to 7 week and temozolomide (TMZ) capsule 75 mg/m\^2 BSA daily from the first day to the last day of radiotherapy . There was a 4 week treatment break. Participants then entered the Maintenance Phase where they received six 28-day cycle of TMZ 150 to 200 mg/m\^2 BSA daily in the first 5 days of each cycle until PD or for a maximum treatment period of 2 years after inclusion of the last participant. Only participants with progressive disease during or after TMZ therapy could receive bevacizumab (BEV)/irinotecan (IRI) or BEV monotherapy as optional second-line study therapy at the discretion of the investigator, if eligible.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 6 months

Population: Intent-to-treat (ITT) population included participants randomized for whom it cannot be ruled out, that they took study medication at least once and where primary variable was measured at least once under study medication. Data were analyzed according to the treatment randomized (as randomized).

Progression-free survival was defined as the time from randomization to objective tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever came first. Progression was defined as 25 percent (%) increase in size of enhancing tumor or any new tumor on gadolinium contrast agent magnetic resonance imaging (Gd-MRI) scans, or neurologically worse, and steroids stable or increased. Percentage of participants achieving PFS without disease progression or death was reported.

FLAIR lesions were determined as "stable", "progressive" or "decreased". FLAIR lesions was determined as "progressive" only if they were not be attributed to causes apart from tumor infiltration (sequelae of radiation therapy, demyelination, ischemia, infection, seizures, or other treatment effects).

Timeframe: Baseline, Post-Baseline (up to Month 30)

Population: ITT population.

The EORTC QLQ-C30 incorporates: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); 9 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea and vomiting, dyspnea, insomnia, appetite loss, constipation, diarrhea and financial difficulties); and a global health and quality-of-life scale. Most questions used 4 point scale (1 'Not at all' to 4 'Very much'; 2 questions used 7-point scale (1 'very poor' to 7 'Excellent'). Scores were averaged and transformed to 0-100 scale; higher score for Global Qol/functional scales=better level of functioning or a higher score for symptom scale=greater degree of symptoms. The change in global health status was determined to be the difference in values at baseline and each specific visit. The term ''baseline'' refers to the time of randomization to the maintenance phase.

Population: ITT population

EORTC QLQ-BN20 consisted of 20 items assessing visual disorders, motor dysfunction, communication deficit, various disease symptoms (e.g. headaches and seizures), treatment toxicities (e.g. hair loss) and future uncertainty. All of the 20 items are rated on a 4 point Likert scale from 1=not at all, 2=a little, 3=quite a bit and 4=very much, and were linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores indicating more severe symptoms.

In the Concurrent Phase participants received radiotherapy in daily fractions of 1.8 to 2 Gy given 5 fractions per week for 6 to 7 week and temozolomide (TMZ) capsule 75 mg/m\^2 BSA daily from the first day to the last day of radiotherapy . There was a 4 week treatment break. Participants then entered the Maintenance Phase where they received six 28-day cycle of TMZ 150 to 200 mg/m\^2 BSA daily in the first 5 days of each cycle until PD or for a maximum treatment period of 2 years after inclusion of the last participant. Only participants with progressive disease during or after TMZ therapy could receive bevacizumab (BEV)/irinotecan (IRI) or BEV monotherapy as optional second-line study therapy at the discretion of the investigator, if eligible.

Measure
Bevacizumab + Irinotecan
n=119 participants at risk
In the Concurrent Phase participants received radiotherapy in daily fractions of 1.8 to 2 Gray (Gy) given 5 fractions per week for 6 to 7 weeks and intravenous infusion (IV) of bevacizumab (BEV) 10 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) body weight every 14 ± 2 days starting during the first week to the last week of radiotherapy. Participants then entered the Maintenance Phase where they received BEV 10 mg/kg body weight and IV irinotecan (IRI) 125 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) body surface area (BSA) or 340 mg/m\^2 BSA in participants not receiving enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) or receiving EIAEDs, respectively for every 14± 2 days until progressive disease (PD) or for a maximum treatment period of 2 years after inclusion of the last participant.
Temozolomide
n=55 participants at risk
In the Concurrent Phase participants received radiotherapy in daily fractions of 1.8 to 2 Gy given 5 fractions per week for 6 to 7 week and temozolomide (TMZ) capsule 75 mg/m\^2 BSA daily from the first day to the last day of radiotherapy . There was a 4 week treatment break. Participants then entered the Maintenance Phase where they received six 28-day cycle of TMZ 150 to 200 mg/m\^2 BSA daily in the first 5 days of each cycle until PD or for a maximum treatment period of 2 years after inclusion of the last participant. Only participants with progressive disease during or after TMZ therapy could receive bevacizumab (BEV)/irinotecan (IRI) or BEV monotherapy as optional second-line study therapy at the discretion of the investigator or and, if eligible.
