Proton and Heavy Ion Beam Radiation vs. Photon Beam Radiation for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma.

Study Purpose

This is a multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial to explore the efficacy and side effects of standard-dose photon radiation versus standard-dose proton radiation versus carbon ion boost plus standard proton radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The patients enrolled will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three group: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy; Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy; Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

 No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

 NCT04536649
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

This multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial will enroll 369 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Patients will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three groups: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy (60 Gy); Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE); Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE) plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost (15GyE/3F). All patients will receive concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide according to the Stupp protocol. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint is progression-free survival, side effect and quality life.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Standard-dose Photon Radiotherapy

The patients will receive standard-dose photon radiation (60Gy/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle)

Experimental: Standard-dose Proton Radiotherapy

The patients will receive standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).

Experimental: Standard-dose Proton Radiotherapy plus Carbon-Ion Boost

The patients will receive carbon-ion radiation boost (15GyE/3F for residual lesion) priot to standard-dose proton radiation (60GyE/30F for high-risk area) with concurrent temozolomide (75mg/m2, qd), then adjuvant temozolomide (150-200mg/m2, qd, D1-5, 28d/cycle).

Interventions
