Trial Outcomes & Findings for Presurgery Bortezomib for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas Followed by Postop Bortezomib & Temozolomide (NCT NCT00990652)

NCT ID: NCT00990652

Last Updated: 2014-01-13

Results Overview

Patients will be monitored from date of first treatment to the date of first observation of progressive disease, non-reversible neurologic progression or increasing steroid requirements, death due to any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment. Progression-free survival will be defined as the absence of any of the above after 6 months. Progression (defined by MacDonald Criteria) is a 25% increase in the sum of products of all measurable lesions over smallest sum observed compared to baseline, OR clear worsening of any evaluable disease, OR appearance of any new lesion/site, OR failure to return for evaluation due to death or deteriorating condition (unless clearly unrelated to the cancer).

Participant Flow

The study opened on May 21, 2009 with an accrual goal of 29 patients; the study was designed to enroll 10 patients initially and do an interim efficacy assessment. Accrual was suspended on February 11, 2011 for this analysis. The interim results did not support further accrual, and so the study was permanently closed to accrual on March 29, 2011.

Measure
Bortezomib + Temozolomide
Patients receive an injection of bortezomib 1.7mg/m\^2 on days 1, 4 and 8. Patients then undergo their standard of care surgery on day 8 or 9 to remove the tumor. Once recovered from surgery (approximately 14 days later), patients receive combination treatment with temozolomide and bortezomib in periods called cycles (1 cycle = 4 weeks or 28 days). Temozolomide (75 mg/m\^2) is taken by mouth on days 1-7 and 14-21 of each cycle, and bortezomib (1.3 mg/m\^2) is given intravenously (IV) on days 7 and 21 of each cycle. Patients continue to receive cycles of treatment until disease progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or up to a maximum of 24 months.

Number of Patients Surviving Without Disease Progression After 6 Months
0 participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day of treatment post-surgery and then approximately every 8 weeks thereafter until off treatment

Population: Only those participants who had residual tumor remaining after surgical resection were evaluated for this outcome.

This measure was assessed only in patients who had residual tumor post-operatively. Per MacDonald Criteria: Complete Response requires complete disappearance of all measurable \& evaluable disease, no new lesions, no evidence of non-evaluable disease, and only minimal or no use of steroids. Partial Response is defined as \>= 50% decrease compared to baseline in the sum of products of perpendicular diameters of all measurable lesions, no progression of evaluable disease, and no new lesions. Responders must be on the same or decreasing doses of steroid. Response was assessed by imaging (MRI or CT with contrast).

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: Tissue samples for analysis were obtained on the day of surgery for all patients

The effects of bortezomib on the endogenous modulators of NF-Kappa B pathways, especially the NFKBIA gene (nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cells inhibitor, alpha) were assessed using novel assay technology; expression of NFKBIA was then correlated with response to therapy and patient survival.
