Trial Outcomes & Findings for NovoTTF-100A With Bevacizumab (Avastin) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (NCT NCT01894061)

NCT ID: NCT01894061

Last Updated: 2025-02-17

Results Overview

Efficacy of therapy as measured by percent of participants with (PFS6). This trial will be considered successful if at least 20% of participants achieve PFS at 6 months. Disease progression is defined by RANO criteria. In cases where the RANO criteria cannot be applied, progression should be based on unequivocal evidence of progressive disease sufficient to require a change in therapy. The Modified RANO criteria are a set of guidelines for evaluating treatment response clinical trials. Modified RANO Response Criteria include levels of response including Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Minor Response (MR), Stable Disease (SD), or Progressive Disease.

Population: Only 5 participants had QOL change from baseline.

Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy including Brain Tumor module (FACT-Br) is a 54-item questionnaire that has four areas of cumulative measurements (physical well-being, social/family well-being, emotional well-being and functional well-being) with a scale of 0-4. The FACT-Br total score ranges between 0 and 76. The higher the score, the better the quality of life.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 12 months

Population: Participants eligible for analysis (completed study)

Efficacy of therapy as measured by percent of participants with 12-month PFS. Disease progression is defined by modified RANO criteria. In cases where the modified RANO criteria cannot be applied, progression should be based on unequivocal evidence of progressive disease sufficient to require a change in therapy. The Modified RANO criteria are a set of guidelines for evaluating treatment response clinical trials. Modified RANO Response Criteria include levels of response including Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), Minor Response (MR), Stable Disease (SD), or Progressive Disease.
