Conditions

Glioma, Malignant

Brief summary

This is a prospective, single-arm study. The study population consists of adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of EGFR-positive high-grade glioma who have radiographic residual tumor following surgical resection. Participants will receive nimotuzumab in combination with the standard Stupp regimen after glioma surgery.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm study designed to enroll 50 adult patients with a confirmed diagnosis of EGFR-positive high-grade glioma and radiographic residual tumor following surgical resection (primary inclusion criteria). Patients are excluded if they are EGFR-negative; have previously received chemotherapy, anti-EGFR therapy, or radiotherapy; have a history of other malignancies within the past 5 years; present with severe comorbidities or active infections; or experience persistent vomiting that may interfere with the oral administration of temozolomide (TMZ). Following surgery, participants will receive nimotuzumab in combination with the standard Stupp regimen.

Interventions

DRUGnimotuzumab

Nimotuzumab 200 mg will be administered via intravenous infusion once weekly for 6 weeks, followed by 200 mg via intravenous infusion once every 4 weeks for a total of 6 doses.

DRUGTemozolomide

Temozolomide will be administered orally at a dose of 150-200 mg/m²/day for 5 consecutive days. Each cycle lasts 28 days, for a total of 6 cycles.

Inclusion criteria

* 1)Aged 18 to 75 years. * 2)Newly diagnosed glioblastoma consistent with the World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumours of the Central Nervous System, 5th edition. * 3)Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-positive status confirmed by immunohistochemistry (defined as brown-yellow staining in \>10% of tumor cells). * 4)Partial surgical resection with radiographically measurable residual tumor. * 5)Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥ 50% (with KPS decline attributable to the tumor). * 6)Adequate renal function, defined as serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or creatinine clearance \> 60 mL/min. * 7)Adequate hepatic function, defined as total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the ULN and serum transaminases ≤ 3 times the ULN. * 8)Adequate hematologic function, defined as a white blood cell count ≥ 3,000/μL or an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500/μL, platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL, and hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL. * 9)An interval of 2 to 6 weeks between surgical resection and the initiation of radiotherapy (RT).

Exclusion criteria

* 1)EGFR-negative status. * 2)Prior treatment with chemotherapy, anti-EGFR therapy, or radiotherapy; or a history of other malignancies within the past 5 years. * 3)Presence of severe comorbidities or active infections, or persistent vomiting that may interfere with the oral administration of temozolomide (TMZ).

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Progression-Free Survivalfrom the initiation of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, up to 100 weeksdefined as the time from randomization (or the initiation of treatment) to the first documented tumor progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Overall Survivalfrom the initiation of treatment,up to 100 weeksdefined as the time from randomization (or the initiation of treatment) to death from any cause.
Objective Response Ratethrough study completion, an average of 1 yeardefined as the proportion of patients who achieve a Complete Response (CR) or a Partial Response (PR) out of the total number of evaluable patients
Disease Control Ratethrough study completion, an average of 1 yeardefined as the proportion of patients who achieve a Complete Response (CR), Partial Response (PR), or Stable Disease (SD) out of the total number of evaluable patients
Adverse Eventthrough study completion, an average of 1 yearany unfavorable or unintended medical occurrence in a patient or clinical trial subject administered a pharmaceutical product or device, which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment
