Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this research study is to determine if armodafinil is safe and effective in treating fatigue in patients with malignant gliomas undergoing treatment with radiotherapy plus temodar. Armodafinil is a wakefulness-promoting agent that has been FDA approved for the treatment of excessive daytime sleepiness for a variety of disorders. Armodafinil may also help to reduce radiation-induced fatigue in brain tumor patients.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 2

Detailed Description

  • Since no one knows for certain if armodafinil improves fatigue in brain tumor patients undergoing radiation therapy, participants will be randomized into one of two study groups. Half of the participants will receive armodafinil and the other half will receive pills with no medicine (placebo). Neither the participant or the study doctor will know what group they are in.

  • Participants will be given a study medication-dosing calendar and will take either the study drug or placebo orally once a day for 8 weeks. The dose will be adjusted on days 8,22 or 43, depending upon the level of fatigue. Treatment will begin within 10 days from the radiation start date.

  • Participants will be evaluated via documented clinician telephone call and self-administered questionnaires on days 1, 8, 22, 43 and 57.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Fatigue at Day 43 [43 days]

      The primary endpoint was the difference in the 42-day change (baseline vs. day 43) in Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue scale (FACIT-F scale) between the 2 treatment groups (those patients randomized to receive armodafinil and those randomized to the placebo arm). FACIT-F is a well-validated QOL instrument widely used for the assessment of cancer-related fatigue in clinical trials.5 It consists of the 27-item FACT-G (which assesses QOL based on physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being) and the 13-item FACIT-F fatigue subscale (which assesses the impact of fatigue on daily activities). Each item is assessed on a 5-point scale (0 = not at all to 4 = very much). By scoring convention, after appropriate reversal scoring of 11 items, the FACIT-F fatigue subscale (FACIT-fatigue) score ranges from 0 to 52 (lower score indicating more fatigue). A score < 30 indicates severe fatigue.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Change From Baseline in Quality of Life at Days 22, 43 and 56 [baseline, day 22, day 43, and day 56]

      The effects of treatment on overall health-related quality of life quantified with the general Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy survey (FACT-G) were measured at baseline, at day 22, at the end of radiation (day 43) and 2 weeks after completion of radiation (day 56). The FACT-G assesses quality of life based on physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being. Each item is assessed on a 5-point scale (0 = not at all to 4 = very much). The total FACT-G score can range from 0-108, with higher scores indicating a better quality of life.

    2. Number of Grade 3-4 Side Effects at Least Possibly Related to Study Treatment [56 days]

      To assess the side effect profile of armodafinil in patients with malignant gliomas undergoing radiotherapy with or without standard chemotherapy treatment.
