Brief summary

This is a multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial to explore the efficacy and side effects of standard-dose photon radiation versus standard-dose proton radiation versus carbon ion boost plus standard proton radiation for newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The patients enrolled will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three group: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy; Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy; Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS).

Detailed description

This multi-center prospective phase 3 clinical trial will enroll 369 patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Patients will be randomly allocated with 1:1:1 to three groups: Control Group, standard-dose photon radiotherapy (60 Gy); Study Group A, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE); Study Group B, standard-dose proton radiotherapy (60 GyE) plus induction carbon-ion radiotherapy boost (15GyE/3F). All patients will receive concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide according to the Stupp protocol. The primary endpoint is overall survival (OS). The secondary endpoint is progression-free survival, side effect and quality life.

Inclusion criteria

* Age\> 18 years old and \<80 years old * Pathologically confirmed newly-diagnosed GBM * Redisual lesion after subtotal resection, partial resection, or biopsy * No dissemination or metastasis in the spinal canal, single lesion, supratentorial lesion * ECOG score 0-1 * Sign the informed consent form before starting the research

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall SurvivalFrom the pathological confirmation to death, a median of 3 years.The interval from randomization to death

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-free SurvivalFrom randomization to tumor progression, with a median of 3 years.The interval from randomization to progression or death
ToxicitiesFrom start to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.The scores of toxicities are based on CTCAE criteria, which refers to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.
Recognitive FunctionFrom initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.The assessment of recognitive function is based on MMSE criteria, which refers to Mini-Mental State Examination.
Life QualityFrom initiation of radiotherapy to 12 months after completion of radiotherapy.The assessment of life quality is based on ADL criteria, which refers to Activities of Daily Living.
