NCT02832635

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects on neurocognitive function of whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) with/without TMZ concurrent chemotherapy or avoidance of hippocampus for patients of brain metastases, as well as the feasibility and risk of avoidance of hippocampus during whole-brain radiotherapy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change of neurocognitive function between baseline and 4 months after radiotherapy

    Neurocognitive function is evaluated by Minimum Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    baseline; four months after radiotherapy

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Effect on response rate

    baseline; One, two, four, six, and twelve months after radiotherapy

  • The tolerance of radiotherapy with TMZ concurrent chemotherapy

    baseline; once a week through during radiotherapy, up to 3 weeks

Interventions

TMZDRUG

TMZ 75mg/m2/d from the 1st day to the last day of radiotherapy

Also known as: temozolomide
WBRT with TMZWBRT with avoidance of hippocampus and TMZ

Whole brain radiotherapy of 30Gy/10f by IMRT (Intensity Modulation Radiated Therapy), with or without boost. The maximum dose of hippocampus should be no more than 18Gy.

WBRT with avoidance of hippocampusWBRT with avoidance of hippocampus and TMZ

Whole brain radiotherapy of 30Gy/10f by IMRT, with or without boost. The dose of hippocampus is not considered.
