NCT00304031 · STUDY IN CONTEXT

Radiation Therapy (RT) and Temozolomide (TMZ) in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma

Draft scope assessment: narrower. Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm. Found because this study's registry identifier is printed in an FDA approval notice, an FDA product label or an NCI summary held by this site. The citing document and the exact position of the identifier inside it are recorded. Being cited is not a statement that the study supports this treatment.

primary · POSTED

Overall survival time is defined as time from registration/randomization to the date of death from any cause. Overall survival rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients last known to be alive are censored at the date of last contact. Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

Randomized eligible patients.

→

secondary · POSTED

Progression is defined as greater than 25% increase in tumor area (two diameters) provided that the patient has not had his/her dose of steroids decreased since the last evaluation period. Progression-free survival time is defined as time from registration to the date of first progression, death, or last known follow-up (censored). Progression-free survival rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A concomitant decrease in steroid dose will rule out a progression designation during the first 2 months after completion of radiation therapy. Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

secondary · POSTED

Overall survival time is defined as time from randomization to the date of death from any cause. Overall survival rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Patients last known to be alive are censored at the date of last contact. Tumor tissue submitted at baseline was analyzed to determine MGMT (O\[6\]-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) promoter methylation status (methylated / unmethylated). Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

MGMT status was not available for all randomized eligible participants. Therefore, data was only available from 376/411 on the conventional arm and 384/420 on the dose-dense arm.

secondary · POSTED

Response assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.0): Complete Response (CR), imaging no longer shows enhancing tumor, confirmed by a second scan ≥ 4 weeks later; Partial Response (PR), \>=50% decrease in tumor area (two diameters) with patient off all steroids, or on adrenal maintenance only; Minor Response (MR), \< 50% decrease in tumor area with patient off all steroids, or on adrenal maintenance only; Stable Disease (SD): scan shows no change with patient receiving stable/decreasing doses of steroids; Progression (P): \> 25% increase in tumor area with no decrease in steroid dose since last evaluation. Tumor tissue submitted at baseline was analyzed to determine MGMT (O\[6\]-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) promoter methylation status (methylated / unmethylated). Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

Per the protocol, both arms are combined to compare between MGMT status. MGMT status and treatment response was not available for all randomized eligible participants. Therefore, data was only available for 748/831 randomized eligible patients (arms combined).

secondary · POSTED

Highest grade adverse event (AE) per subject was counted. Adverse events were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v3.0. Grade refers to the severity of the AE. The CTCAE v3.0 assigns Grades 1 through 5 with unique clinical descriptions of severity for each AE based on this general guideline: Grade 1 Mild, Grade 2 Moderate, Grade 3 Severe, Grade 4 Life-threatening or disabling, Grade 5 Death related to AE. Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

Randomized eligible patients with any adverse events reported as possibly/probably/definitely related to protocol treatment

Determination of Impactful Baseline Instruments on Overall Survival
measure definition
Overall survival time is defined as time from registration/randomization to the date of death from any cause or last known follow-up (censored). Overall survival rates are estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire \[EORTC QLQ\]-C30 subscales are calculated as the mean of component items, then standardized such that subscale scores range from 0 to 100. A high score for a functional scale represents a healthy level of functioning. Controlled Oral Word Association (COWA) score is the sum of correct responses with a range of 0 to infinity. A higher score indicates better functioning. Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) score ranges from 0 to 36 for total recall is 0 to 36, 0 to 12 for delayed recall, and -12 to 12 for recognition. A higher score indicates better functioning.
time frame
From randomization to last follow-up. Maximum follow-up at time of analysis was 4.4 years.

Number of Participants With Deterioration From Baseline in MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) Cognitive Score and Hopkins Verbal Learning Test - Revised (HVLT-R) Delayed Recognition Score at Cycle 1
measure definition
* The MDASI-BT is a 28-item patient-reported outcome measure assessing symptom severity (SS) and resulting interference with daily living in brain cancer patients. All items range from 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine). A SS score is the average of the SS items, given a specified minimum numbers were completed. A score worse than baseline by at least one is considered deterioration. * The HVLT-R Delayed Recognition raw score is the number of of correctly identified words minus the number of incorrectly identified words from a list of words including 12 nouns memorized 20 minutes prior. The raw score ranges from -12 to 12. with a higher score indicates better functioning. Scores are standardized (mean 0, standard deviation 1), adjusting for age,education, and gender as necessary. A score worse than baseline by at least two is considered deterioration. * The 2x2 frequency table of SS deterioration vs. HVLT-R deterioration is presented as four rows.

applicability note
Linked by condition-string match at the cancer-entity level. The study's eligibility - stage, biomarker, treatment line and prior therapy - has not been reconciled against this page's definition, so its population is narrower than this page in ways not yet recorded. The condition was transformed or resolved through the terminology hierarchy to reach this cancer type, so the link itself is a candidate a reviewer must confirm.

    Median Progression-free Survival (PFS) Time
    endpoint definition
    Progression is defined as greater than 25% increase in tumor area (two diameters) provided that the patient has not had his/her dose of steroids decreased since the last evaluation period. Progression-free survival time is defined as time from registration to the date of first progression, death, or last known follow-up (censored). Progression-free survival rates are estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. A concomitant decrease in steroid dose will rule out a progression designation during the first 2 months after completion of radiation therapy. Analysis occurred after 647 deaths were reported.

    Number of Participants With Deterioration From Baseline in MD Anderson Symptom Inventory Brain Tumor (MDASI-BT) Symptom Severity Score and EORTC QLQ-C30 Global Health Status Score (GHS) at Cycle 10
    measure definition
    * The MDASI-BT is a 28-item patient-reported outcome measure assessing symptom severity (SS) and resulting interference with daily living in brain cancer patients. All items range from 0 (not present) to 10 (as bad as you can imagine). A SS score is the average of the SS items, given a specified minimum numbers were completed. A score worse than baseline by at least one is considered deterioration. * Global Health Status is calculated from two questions on the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire \[EORTC QLQ\]-C30. The question responses range from 1 (very poor) to 7 (excellent) such that a higher response indicates better quality of life (QOL). The mean of these responses is linearly transformed to a range of 0 (worst) to 100 (best). A score worse than baseline by at least 10 is considered deterioration. * The 2x2 frequency table of SS deterioration vs. GHS deterioration is presented as four rows.

    population note
    Both arms are combined per the protocol. Questionnaires were not completed by all QOL population participants. Therefore, only 44/191 have both MDASI-BT and EORTC QLQ-C30 at baseline and cycle 10.
