• Target: 70
• Locations: 1 country

Brief Summary

The optimal treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) in patients aged ≥70 years with a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) \<70 is unestablished. This clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of upfront temozolomide (TMZ) and bevacizumab (Bev) in patients aged ≥70 years and a KPS \<70.

Conditions

Glioblastoma Multiforme; Primary Brain Tumor

Keywords

Glioblastoma Multiforme; temozolomide; bevacizumab

Study Arms (1)

Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

EXPERIMENTAL

Single experimental arm with two drugs : Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Drug: Temozolomide; Drug: Bevacizumab

Interventions

Temozolomide DRUG

Temozolomide (TMZ) Temozolomide (TMZ) administered at 130-150 mg/m2 for 5 consecutive days every 4 weeks up to 12 cycles. IV or oral administration was allowed according to the clinical status. TMZ starts at 130 mgs/m2 and increase to 150 mgs/m2 during the second cycle in the absence of hematologic toxicity. In the case of grade 3 or 4 toxicity, the dose for the next cycle is decreased to 110 mg/m2. If the grade 3 or 4 toxicity persists at a dose of 110 mg/m2, treatment is discontinued.

Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Bevacizumab DRUG

Bevacizumab (Bev) administered at a dose of 10 mgs/kg every 2 weeks. Bev was interrupted in cases of wound healing disturbances, gastrointestinal perforation, intestinal occlusion, fistula, uncontrolled hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, grade 4 or recurrent grade 3 thromboembolic events, arterial thrombosis, hemorrhage \> grade 2, left ventricular failure, or posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy.
