Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: We will translate the C-map, T1-map based, MRI technique pioneered by the applicant and optimize it for human scanners and human clearance rates. This will allow to derive individual tumor concentration maps as well as AGuIX clearance curves (see preliminary results), hence deriving a precise and personalized spatiotemporal characterization of AGuIX pharmacodynamics and therefore maximum boost in RT efficacy.;Secondary Objective: We will evaluate the effect of AGuIX-enhanced RT (see O1) on GBM evolution in 30 patients. Moreover, patients who fail the screening will be treated with standard treatment and observed. All patients will undergo longitudinal multimodal neuroimaging to evaluate tumor metabolism and GTV. Quality of life (QOL) will be evaluated before and during two years since protocol inception through the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Brain (FACT-Br) questionnaire. Cognitive abilities will be measured by the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) test. Finally, the following parameters will be collected and recorded by the physician in order to assess common side effects arising during RT+TMZ: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, rash, increased liver enzymes, hypoalbuminemia, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, infections, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, anemia, death from the pathology under study.;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint will be overall response rate (ORR), defined as the percentage of patients who have a partial or complete response to therapy according to RANO criteria;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of trial

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1.PFS, defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of disease progression or death. Disease progression is defined as objective radiological progression or neurological, clinical progression. 2.OS, defined as the time interval between the date of randomization and the date of death from any cause. Toxicity defined as ability of a chemical substance or pharmaceutical preparation to cause, at certain doses or concentrations, disturbances, or damage to living organisms to which they have been administered. 3.QoL, as Measured by FACT-Br, cognition after treatment as Measured by the MMSE and MoCA test. All patients must complete a quality-of-life questionnaire before, during and after the follow-up. 4.Side effects, filling in a questionnaire with the following parameters: nausea, vomiting, anorexia, rash, increased liver enzymes, hypoalbuminemia, pneumonia, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary thromboembolism, infections, thrombocytopenia, lymphopenia, neutropenia, anemia, death from the pathology under study.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1.When the event occurs 2.When the event occurs 3.Ad each visit 4.Ad every visit
