Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for FORWARD Optune and Adjuvant TMZ in Grade II/III Astrocytoma

Study Description

Brief Summary: This is a phase 2, multi-institutional, historically-controlled, study of 100 patients with newly diagnosed Grade II and III astrocytoma comparing the combination of TTFields with adjuvant temozolomide versus temozolomide alone in historical controls after the completion of definitive chemoradiotherapy. Study treatment may continue past first tumor recurrence. The primary endpoint will be overall survival.

Detailed Description: Patients with newly diagnosed high-risk Grade II or III astrocytoma must undergo maximal safe resection (biopsy alone may be eligible) and chemoradiotherapy: concomitant 75mg/m2 daily temozolomide with 80% prescribed dose completed and RT with minimal RT dose of 40 Gy delivered. Within three weeks prior to beginning adjuvant temozolomide, all patients will undergo a Baseline contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain. Within two weeks prior to beginning adjuvant temozolomide, all patients will undergo baseline assessments. Patients will begin study treatment with temozolomide and TTFields within 2 weeks of the baseline evaluation, and no later than 6 weeks from last dose of concomitant temozolomide or radiation therapy (the latter of the two). A minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide will be given. Patients will be seen and examined before each cycle of temozolomide. After a maximum of 12 cycles of adjuvant temozolomide, patients will be seen every 8 weeks. Brain MRI and QoL assessments will be performed every 8 weeks following the baseline MRI for the first 2 years then every 3 months thereafter until second progression (when TTFields treatment will be terminated).
