Temozolomide Plus Lomustine Followed by Radiation Therapy in Treating

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Combining more than one chemotherapy drug with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide plus lomustine followed by radiation therapy in treating patients who have high-grade malignant glioma.

Clinical Trial Description

OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of temozolomide when administered with lomustine in patients with high-grade malignant gliomas.

- Determine the dose-limiting toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

- Evaluate the feasibility of radiotherapy after this treatment regimen in this patient population.

- Evaluate the radiographic responses in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study of temozolomide.

Patients receive oral temozolomide on days 1-5 and oral lomustine on day 1. Treatment continues every 28 days, if blood counts have recovered, for 2 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients then undergo radiotherapy on days 1-5 weekly for 6 weeks. Patients continue the same chemotherapy regimen for up to 6 more courses beginning 4 weeks after completion of radiotherapy.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of temozolomide until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
