A Phase II Multi-center Pilot Study of Concurrent Temozolomide and Whole Brain Irradiation in Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer Patients With Brain Metastases

May 6, 2014 updated by: Far Eastern Memorial Hospital

A Phase II, Open-label, Single-arm, Multi-center Pilot Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Whole-brain Radiotherapy With Concomitant Temozolomide in Lung Cancer and Breast Cancer Patients With Brain Metastases

Brain metastasis (BM) is among the most feared complications in cancer because even small tumors may cause incapacitating neurologic symptoms. It is observed in more than 50% of patients with lung cancer and 15% to 25% of patients with breast cancer. Temozolomide (TMZ) is an oral alkylating agent that crosses blood-brain barrier (BBB). This pilot study aims to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) plus concomitant TMZ in lung cancer and breast cancer patients with BM.
