A Study on the Safety & Effectiveness of Temozolomide for Neoadjuvant

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies the effectiveness oftemozolomide in the neoadjuvant therapy oflocally advanced,or unresectable pheochromocytoma or paragangliom(PPGL). Temozolomide (TMZ) is a novel oral alkylation chemotherapeutic agent. Inthisstudy,temozolomidewill be used preoperatively in order to change unresectable tumors to resectable and reduce the high risk of surgery.

Clinical Trial Description

The first choice for the treatment of PPGL is surgery. PPGL can be cured by complete resection of the lesion. However, some PPGLs could not be performed R0 resection due to the large tumor size and close relationship with surrounding tissues (blood vessels, kidneys, pancreas, liver, etc.). In this case, in order to achieve R0 resection, they need to undergo expand the scope of surgery, such as simultaneous resection of vital organs,and with extreamly high risks.There is no treatment option for those locally advanced or unresectable PPGLpatients currently. Temozolomide (TMZ), an oral alkylation chemotherapeutic agent, has been used in recent years and shown to have beneficial effects on metastatic PPGL with few side effects. TMZ has been recommended in National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Guidelines Version 1.2022 for treating metastatic PPGL patients. This prospective, single arm, phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy of neoadjuvant therapy with TMZ in locally advanced,or unresectable PPGL patients or patients with severe catecholamine cardiomyopathy who are intolerance of operation.TMZ was administered orally at an initial daily dose of 150 mg/m2 per day for 5 days, every 28 days preoperatively. In patients with a good tolerance during the first cycle, the dose was increased to 200 mg/m2 per day for 5 days, every 28 days. Imaging examinations will be conducted after3 courses to re-evaluate the surgical possibility and surgery risks. If the patient's tumor shrinks after 3 courses but is still unresectable, the patients will continue TMZ therapy for another 3 courses. ;

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.
