Radiotherapy Versus Radiotherapy Combined With Temozolomide in High-risk Low-grade Gliomas After Surgery
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
It has been reported that radiation therapy followed by PCV chemotherapy (procarbazine, lomustine and vincristine) could improve progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with high-risk WHO grade 2 gliomas after surgery. However, procarbazine is not available in China. In clinical practice, Chinese doctors often use radiotherapy combined with temozolomide to treat these patients, though large-scale prospective studies are lacking. This trial aims to confirm whether RT combined with temozolomide can improve PFS and OS in patients with high-risk low-grade gliomas.

Experimental: RT+TMZ

Drug: Temozolomide
Concurrent chemotherapy is to receive oral temozolomide, 75 mg/m2 per day, during radiation therapy. Adjuvant chemotherapy will be treated with six cycles of temozolomide, 150 to 200 mg/m2 per day for five consecutive days, repeated every 4 weeks. There is a 28-day break during radiotherapy and adjuvant temozolomide.
Radiation: intensity modulated radiation therapy
The radiation dose is 50-54 Gy given in 25-30 fractions (1.8-2.0 Gy once daily, 5 days per week).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival [up to 120 months]
Our primary outcome is progression-free survival which is calculated from the date of randomization to the date of first reported disease progression or the date of death.
