NOA-05 phase 2 trial of procarbazine and lomustine therapy in gliomatosis cerebri.
2011
The NOA-05 multicenter trial was performed to analyze the efficacy of primary chemotherapy with procarbazine and lomustine (PC) in patients with gliomatosis cerebri (GC) and to define clinical, imaging, and molecular factors influencing outcome.Thirty-five patients with previously untreated GC were treated with up to six 56-day courses of 110mg/m(2) lomustine on day 1 and 60mg/m(2) procarbazine on days 8 to 21. The primary endpoint was the rate of patients without therapy failure (defined as progressive disease, death from any cause, or termination of PC therapy before the end of course 4) at 8 months after the beginning of PC chemotherapy.The failure-free survival rate at 8 months was 50.3…

There is an urgent need for more effective therapies in glioblastoma (GBM). Data from the single arm UKT-03 trial (Glas et al., J Clin Oncol 27, 1257, 2009) suggested that combined lomustine/temozolomide (CCNU/TMZ) therapy might have superior activity in MGMT-methylated GBM. The phase III CeTeG/NOA-09 trial was set up to test this hypothesis in a randomized setting. Patients with MGMT-methylated GBM were randomized (1:1) for standard therapy with daily TMZ (75 mg/m2) during local radiotherapy (RT, 30 x 2 Gy) followed by 6 courses of TMZ (150–200 mg/m2/day for 5 days q4w) or experimental therapy with CCNU/TMZ in addition to local RT. Six 6-week courses of CCNU/TMZ (CCNU 100 mg/m2 d1, TMZ 100…

Summary Background There is an urgent need for more effective therapies for glioblastoma. Data from a previous unrandomised phase 2 trial suggested that lomustine-temozolomide plus radiotherapy might be superior to temozolomide chemoradiotherapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma with methylation of the MGMT promoter. In the CeTeG/NOA-09 trial, we aimed to further investigate the effect of lomustine-temozolomide therapy in the setting of a randomised phase 3 trial. Methods In this open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial, we enrolled patients from 17 German university hospitals who were aged 18–70 years, with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with methylated MGMT promoter, and a Karnofsky Performance …
