Brief Summary

Treatment of glioblastoma (GBM) is based on surgery when possible, and chemoradiation with temozolomide, which became a standard since the EORTC study (Stupp, 2005). However, the prognosis of unresectable GBM remains poor despite chemoradiation with an estimated 10 month median survival, in the range of the comparable patients in the RPA class V from the EORTC study (Miramanoff, 2006). Vredenburgh et al. from the Duke University (Durham, NC) reported at ASCO 2006 (fully published in J Clin Oncol, 2007) a 57 % unexpected response rate using a bevacizumab/irinotecan schedule in patients with relapsed GBM or grade 3 astrocytomas. This unusual high response rate, sometimes with major and sustained responses, was confirmed by a cooperative french study of ANOCEF (Guiu et al., 2008). Such a major improvement of treatment effectiveness lead ANOCEF, which federates most of the active neuro-oncology teams in France, to propose a neo-adjuvant and adjuvant bevacizumab-based chemotherapy framing a standard temozolomide-based chemoradiation with the aim to improve the prognosis of unresectable GBM. The bevacizumab/temozolomide combination as neo-adjuvant is presently being evaluated by the Duke University. We believe that an ambitious comparison of the bevacizumab/irinotecan-schedule with the ''standard'' temozolomide-based chemoradiation is a fascinating challenge to improve the treatment of this awful disease. The ANOCEF proposal '' Evaluation of the irinotecan/bevacizumab association as neo-adjuvant and adjuvant treatment of chemoradiation with temozolomide for naive unresectable glioblastoma. Phase II randomized study with comparison to chemoradiation with temozolomide'' has been successfully granted by INCA (Institut National du Fancer, France) through its research program ( PHRC : Programme Hospitalier de Recherche Clinique). Implementation of this program is now starting .

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• To determine the rate of non-progressive disease at 6 months after inclusion in each arms

  after half of each arms has been completed at 6 months of treatment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• To determine if bevacizumab-based regimen increases the overall survival in comparison of the Stupp regimen

  december 2011

• To evaluate if any bevacizumab-based regimen increases the survival without neurologic degradation and the quality of life according to the QLC-C30 and the specific Brain Cancer Module QLQ-BN20 scales.

  december 2011

• To evaluate the tolerance of the bevacizumab-based regimens according to the NCI-CTCAE, version 3.0 scale. To record the rate of serious adverse events (mainly the theoretical risk of brain hemorrhage with bevacizumab)

  december 2011

Study Arms (2)

EXPERIMENTAL

Neoadjuvant Treatment Patient will receive bevacizumab 10mg/kg plus irinotecan 125mg/m² 4 times every two weeks. Radiochemotherapy Then they will receive conformational radiotherapy for 6 weeks (30 Gy, 2Gy/fractions) associated with Temodal ( 75mg/m²/day) from first day up to the end of radiotherapy and 4 injections of Avastin (15mg/kg Day 1, day 15, day 29 and day 43). Adjuvant treatment: Patients will receive bevacizumab 15mg/kg plus irinotecan 125mg/m² 12 times every two weeks.
