Temozolomide in Aggressive Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors: A Latin American Multicenter Retrospective Cohort (TMZ-LATAM) (TEMPLA)
TEMPLA: TEMozolomide in Pituitary Tumors - Latin America - A Multicenter Retrospective Cohort of Temozolomide Therapy in Aggressive Pituitary Neuroendocrine Tumors and Pituitary Carcinomas
研究概览
详细说明
Temozolomide is the first-line chemotherapeutic agent recommended for aggressive pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) and pituitary carcinomas refractory to standard therapy, including surgery and radiotherapy. Current evidence supporting its use derives largely from small case series and single-country cohorts, with limited data representative of Latin American populations.
TEMPLA (TEMozolomide in Pituitary tumors - Latin America) is a retrospective, multicenter cohort study that expands a previously conducted national Brazilian cohort on temozolomide use in aggressive PitNETs and pituitary carcinomas to a broader Latin American regional scope. Participating centers will retrospectively identify patients treated with temozolomide for histologically confirmed aggressive PitNET (defined by Knosp grade ≥3, radiological growth >20% within 6 months, and/or progression despite optimized standard therapy) or histologically/clinically confirmed pituitary carcinoma.
Data will be collected via a standardized electronic case report form (REDCap), with harmonized diagnostic and response criteria applied across all participating sites to minimize inter-center heterogeneity. Mandatory variables include tumor subtype and lineage, temozolomide dose and treatment duration, and radiological response assessed from pre- and post-treatment imaging. MGMT status (by immunohistochemistry and/or promoter methylation analysis, where locally available) will be collected as a secondary variable and analyzed as an exploratory predictor of treatment response.
The primary aim of this study is to characterize the radiological response rate to temozolomide across Latin American centers. Secondary aims include estimating progression-free survival and overall survival following temozolomide initiation, evaluating the association between MGMT status and treatment response, and describing treatment-related adverse events.

描述
Inclusion Criteria:
Histologically confirmed pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) meeting criteria for aggressive behavior (Knosp grade ≥3, radiological tumor growth >20% within 6 months, and/or progression despite optimized standard therapy including surgery and/or radiotherapy), OR histologically or clinically confirmed pituitary carcinoma (defined by the presence of craniospinal or systemic metastasis) Treatment with temozolomide, at any dose or duration, administered for the above indication Availability of pre-treatment and post-treatment imaging sufficient to assess radiological response Temozolomide treatment initiated within the defined study period
Exclusion Criteria:
Insufficient clinical or imaging data to assess the primary outcome measure Temozolomide administered for an indication other than aggressive PitNET or pituitary carcinoma Loss to follow-up before any post-treatment imaging assessment

Temozolomide-Treated Patients
Patients with histologically confirmed aggressive pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET) or pituitary carcinoma who received temozolomide chemotherapy as part of clinical management, following disease progression despite standard therapy (surgery and/or radiotherapy).
Data on temozolomide dose, treatment duration, and radiological response were retrospectively collected from participating Latin American centers.
No intervention was assigned as part of this study; temozolomide was administered as standard clinical care prior to data collection.
|
Temozolomide, an oral alkylating chemotherapeutic agent, administered as part of routine clinical management for aggressive pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETs) and pituitary carcinomas refractory to standard therapy.
Dosing regimens, cycle duration, and total number of cycles varied according to each treating center's clinical protocol and were not standardized as part of this study.
Temozolomide was not assigned by the investigators for research purposes; all treatment decisions were made independently by the treating clinical team prior to data collection

Radiological Response Rate to Temozolomide
大体时间:From initiation of temozolomide treatment to best radiological response observed, assessed up to 5 years

Radiological response
大体时间:From initiation of temozolomide treatment to radiological or clinical disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 5 years
|
Radiological response to temozolomide will be classified as complete response, partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease, based on comparison of pre-treatment and post-treatment imaging (MRI) available for each patient.
Response classification will follow criteria adapted from RECIST where applicable, acknowledging that formal RECIST assessment may not have been systematically applied at the time of clinical treatment in all participating centers.
