Brief Summary

Low grade gliomas (LGGs) are the most common primary central nervous system malignancies. Brain surgeries with the most possible extent of resection are endeavored to achieve longer survivals in LGG patients. For patients with tumor located in eloquent areas so that gross total resection is not applicable, National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) 2013 guidelines assigned both radiotherapy or chemotherapy as adjuvant treatments of low grade glioma following surgeries. Retrospective studies have suggested that temozolomide (an oral chemotherapeutics) chemotherapy have good effects on the control of tumor progression or recurrence in LGG patients after surgeries, especially in those with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene mutations. Therefore, our prospective cohort study is to provide a higher level(IIb) of evidence for the correlation between IDH mutation and the responsiveness to up-front adjuvant metronomic temozolomide chemotherapy in young patients with LGG located in eloquent brain areas. And hopefully justify future RCTs with comparison between effects of adjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy in these patients.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Objective Response Rate, ORR

    According to the revised RANO criteria (M J van den Bent, et al. 2011), compared to residual tumor volume calculated with iMRI T2/Flair right after surgery and before up-front adjuvant chemotherapy (Baseline tumor volume): Complete response (CR): disappearance of abnormality Partial response (PR): no less than 50% reduction Minimal response (MR): no less than 25% but less than 50% reduction Stable disease (SD): less than 25% reduction also less than 25% increase Progressive disease (PD): no less than 25% increase Enhanced T1-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS), Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and perfusion-weighted imaging (PWI) will also be utilized to detect progressions.

    Within 72 hours after surgery, at the beginning of chemotherapy, every 2 months thereafter up to a year, every 3-6 months after a year, until the first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 2 years.

  • Velocity of Diameter Evolution, VDE

    According to the Definition of New Endpoints by E. Mandonnet et al, 2013, VDE is calculated with formula D = (2 × V)\^1/3, (V= tumor volume). Uncontrolled: unchanged or increased VDE compared to baseline VDE. Slowed down: decreased VDE compared to baseline VDE, but still positive. Stabilized: VDE is close to 0 mm/year. Reversed: negative VDE. Treatment escape and relapse: re-growth of the tumor greater than 2 mm, during the course of chemotherapy and after the end of chemotherapy, respectively. Intensity of response (IOR): how much the diameter has been reduced by the therapy. Duration of response (DOR): the time period between treatment onset and treatment escape or relapse. If Replapse (25% increase/VDE\>2mm/Maligmant enhancement), start 2° treatment: Second surgery or radiotherapy or salvage chemotherapy

    Within 72 hours after surgery, at the beginning of chemotherapy, every 2 months thereafter up to a year, every 3-6 months after a year, until the first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 2 years.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Progression free survival (PFS)-6, -12, -24

    6, 12 and 24 months after the 1st cycle of chemotherapy

  • Cognitive functions

    At the beginning of chemotherapy, every 2 months thereafter up to a year, and every 3-6 months after a year of follow-up, until the first documented (malignant) progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 2 years.

  • Quality of life (QoL)

    At the beginnning of chemotherapy, every 2 months thereafter up to a year, and every 3-6 months after a year of follow-up, until the first documented (malignant) progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 2 years.

  • Adverse effect of chemotherapy

    At the beginning of chemotherapy, every 2 months thereafter up to a year, until the first documented (malignant) progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 2 years.

  • Malignant progression-free survival (MPFS) -6, -12, -24

    6, 12 and 24 months after the 1st cycle of chemotherapy

  • +2 more secondary outcomes
