Clinical Trial Summary

Patients ≥ 3 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma will be enrolled in this study. However, the primary objectives of this study are to 1) compare overall survival, the time from randomization to death from any cause, for study subjects 3-21 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma who receive Antineoplaston therapy (Atengenal + Astugenal) + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone and 2) describe the toxicity profile (all subjects) for Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone. A secondary objective is to compare progression-free survival for study subjects 3-21 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma treated with Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone.


Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized Phase 3 protocol study of Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy vs. radiation therapy alone in subjects ≥ 3 years of age with newly-diagnosed, diffuse, intrinsic pontine glioma. In those subjects randomized to Antineoplaston therapy + radiation therapy, Antineoplaston therapy is administered for 104 weeks while radiation therapy commences on day one of Antineoplaston therapy and continues for 6 weeks. Subjects continue on Antineoplaston therapy if an objective response or stable disease is achieved during therapy and are maintained on Antineoplaston therapy to the end of the protocol study unless they develop progressive disease. Subjects randomized to radiation therapy alone receive 6 weeks of radiation therapy. Exploratory objectives are to compare the following in the two treatment arms: 1) overall survival for study subjects ≥ 21 years of age; 2) progression-free survival for subjects ≥ 21 years of age; 3) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, based on the enhancing portion of the tumor, for all subjects, using bidimentional measurement of tumor; 4) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, for all subjects with non-enhancing tumors, using unidimentional measurement of tumor; and 5) objective response, complete response, partial response, and progressive disease rates, based on the enhancing + non-enhancing portions of the tumor, for all subjects, using unidimentional measurement of tumor. ;
