A Novel Target Delineation Scheme in High-grade Glioma Patients: a Randomized Single-blind Clinical Trial

March 12, 2024 updated by: Zhujiang Hospital

A Novel Target Delineation Scheme Based on RTOG(Radiation Therapy Oncology Group) and EORTC(European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer) Guidelines Impact on Survival Time and Radiotherapy Complications in High-grade Glioma Patients: a Single-center Randomized Single-blind Clinical Trial

The main question it aims to answer are:

  1. whether the new target delineation scheme can improve Progression-free Survival
  2. whether it can reduce the incidence of radiation complications in high-grade glioma patients.

Participants in trial group will be performed radiotherapy of new target delineation method after the completion of the operation within 4-6 weeks., while participants in the control group be performed radiotherapy of EORTC(European organisation for research and treatment of cancer) target delineation method.Temozolomide 75 mg / ( m² · d ) will be given to both groups of patients during radiotherapy. After radiotherapy, its dose changes to 150 ~ 200 mg / ( m² · d ) for 5 days and stopped for 23 days as a cycle. There are 6 cycles in total.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: reduced CTV (clinical target volume) and PTV (planning target volume)
Radiation: reduced target volume

Delineate residual tumor(GTVp) and tumor bed(GTVtb) on enhanced contrast CT-MRI(T2 fluid attenuated inversion recovery, T2 FLAIR) fusion images. GTVtb and GTVp are expanded by 1cm to CTV_6000.

The clinical target volume_6000 cGy (CTV_6000) is partially reduced beyond the skull and midline. According to the CT-MRI(T2 FLAIR) fusion images, the edema area that cannot be seen on contrast-enhanced CT and only can be seen on MRI should be included.

If CTV_6000 includes thalamus, basal ganglia, brainstem or motor cortex, dose of these areas will be limited no more than 54Gy
Active Comparator: EORTC CTV (clinical target volume) and PTV (planning target volume)
Radiation: EORTC (European organisation for research and treatment of cancer) target volume
delineate according to EORTC guideline

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
