Trial Outcomes & Findings for Avastin/Temozolomide/Irinotecan for Unresectable/Multifocal Glioblastoma Multiforme (NCT NCT00979017)

NCT ID: NCT00979017

Last Updated: 2014-03-19

Results Overview

The percentage of participants with a complete or partial response as determined by a modification of the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria. Complete Response (CR) was defined as complete disappearance on MR/CT of all enhancing tumor and mass effect, off all corticosteroids (or receiving only adrenal replacement doses) and accompanied by a stable or improving neurologic examination. Partial Response (PR) was defined as greater than or equal to 50% reduction in tumor size on MR/CT by bi-dimensional measurement, on a stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids and accompanied by a stable or improving neurologic examination. Per the criteria, confirmation of response was required. Response rate = CR+PR.

Measure
Avastin in Combination With Temozolomide and Irinotecan
Avastin 10 mg/kg every 14 days. Temozolomide 200 mg/m2 daily x 5 days in a 28-day cycle. Irinotecan dose depends on whether the patient is on an enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drug (EIAED). EIAED 340 mg/m2 every other week and no EIAED 125 mg/m2 every other week. Irinotecan dose also depends on if the patient has the UGT 1A1 polymorphism (7/7). If so, they do not metabolize the irinotecan normally, so these patients will start out at a two dose level reduction. EIAED starting dose will be 275 mg/m2 and no EIAED starting dose will be 75 mg/ m2. Avastin in combination with temozolomide and irinotecan : Avastin, by intravenous infusion, 10 mg/kg every 14 days in combination with oral temozolomide at 200 mg/m2 daily for 5 days and irinotecan, by intravenous infusion, every other week (dose dependent upon if taking enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs or if a blood test indicates the patient has the UGT 1A1 polymorphism)

Timeframe: 36 months

Population: Intent-to-treat

Time in months from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression according to RANO criteria, or to death due to any cause. Per RANO, progression is a ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions, worsening T2/FLAIR, any new lesion, or clinical deterioration. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median PFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve.
