Temporally-modulated Pulsed Radiation Therapy (TMPRT) After Prior EBRT for Recurrent IDH-mutant Gliomas

Study Purpose

This clinical trial studies the side effects of temporally-modulated pulsed radiation therapy (TMPRT) in patients with IDH-mutant gliomas who have previously received radiation therapy to the brain. TMPRT is a radiation technique in which radiation is delivered in multiple small doses on a specific timed interval, instead of delivering one large dose at one time. This technique may improve efficacy while reducing toxicity and improving patient quality of life.

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.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Histologically confirmed recurrent IDH-mutant gliomas (either astrocytoma or oligodendroglioma) with prior external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) to the same region.
The recurrent tumor may be either histologically confirmed or based on clinical assessment. Any number of prior recurrences is allowed.
  • - Maxium tumor diameter of 7 cm or less.
  • - Prior EBRT is ≥ 2 years ago.
  • - The region for reirradiation should have received at least 45 Gy from the prior EBRT but no more than 75 Gy.
The prior EBRT could be either photon-based or proton-based.
  • - Prior SRS to the same region is permitted as long as the cumulative dose of EBRT plus SRS is no more than 75 Gy.
The prior SRS should be completed at least 6 months ago.
  • - Life expectancy ≥ 12 months.
  • - At least 18 years of age.
  • - Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of at least 70%.
  • - Females of childbearing potential (defined as a female who is non-menopausal or surgically sterilized) must be willing to use an acceptable method of birth control (i.e., hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) for the duration of the study.
Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately.
  • - Able to understand and willing to sign an IRB-approved written informed consent document (legally authorized representative permitted).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Leptomeningeal or metastatic involvement.
  • - Prior history of grade 3 or higher radiation necrosis that is at least possibly related to prior radiotherapy.
  • - Use of concurrent bevacizumab or other anti-VEGF-directed therapy during TMPRT is not allowed.
If the patient is on bevacizumab, the patient needs to discontinue bevacizumab for at least 4 weeks prior to the start of TMPRT and remain stable. Other chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or target therapy can be used concurrently or adjuvantly at the discretion of treating physician.
  • - Medical contraindication to MRI (e.g., unsafe foreign metallic implants, incompatible pacemaker, inability to lie still for long periods, severe to end-stage kidney disease or on hemodialysis).
  • - Pregnant.

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.

 NCT05393258
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.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Arm 1: temporally-modulated pulsed radiotherapy (TMPRT)

Patients receive TMPRT daily as 10 pulses of 0.2 Gy each with a 3-minute interval between pulses (effective dose rate = 0.0667 Gy/min) to a total dose of 54 Gy at 2 Gy per day. Treatment continues for a total of 27 fractions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Interventions

Radiation: - temporally-modulated pulsed radiotherapy (TMPRT)

Intensity modulated RT (IMRT) using single or two arc therapy will be used for RT delivery.
