| Scientific title | Randomised phase II study evaluating a carbon ion boost applied after combined radiochemotherapy with temozolomide versus a proton boost after radiochemotherapy with temozolomide in patients with primary glioblastoma |
| Study acronym | CLEOPATRA |
| Study hypothesis | The purpose of the trial is to compare a carbon ion boost to a proton boost delivered to the macroscopic tumour after combined radiochemotherapy (RT) with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with primary glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The aim of the study is to compare overall survival as a primary endpoint, and progression free survival, toxicity and safety as secondary endpoints. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethics Committee of the Medical Faculty of Heidelberg (Ethikkommission der Medizinischen Fakultät Heidelberg) approved on the 2nd of November 2009 |
| Condition | Primary glioblastoma |
| Intervention | Arm A Experimental Arm Carbon Ion Radiation Therapy as a Boost to the macroscopic tumour Total Dose 18 Gy E, 6 fractions, 3 Gy E single dose Arm B Standard Arm Proton Radiation Therapy as a Boost to the macroscopic tumour Total Dose 10 Gy E, 5 fractions, 2 Gy E single dose In both treatment arms, the minimum follow-up will be 12 months after study treatment (for the last patient included). All other patients will be followed until 12 months after the last patient was included or until death. |
| Intervention type | Drug |
| Pharmaceutical study type(s) | |
| Phase | Phase II |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | Temozolomide |
| Primary outcome measure | Overall survival during the follow-up phase of at least 12 months (starting with initial diagnosis) |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Progression-free survival 2. Safety 3. Toxicity |
| Overall study start date | 01/11/2009 |
| Overall study end date | 31/10/2013 |

| Participant inclusion criteria | 1. Histologically confirmed unifocal, supratentorial primary glioblastoma 2. Macroscopic tumour after biopsy or subtotal resection 3. Indication for combined radiochemotherapy with temozolomide 4. Prior photon irradiation of 50 Gy to the T2-hyperintense area, resection cavity, areas of contrast enhancement adding 2 - 3 cm safety margin 5. Registration prior to photon RT or within photon RT allowing the beginning of C12 greater than or equal to 4 days after completion of photon irradiation 6. Beginning of study treatment (proton or carbon ion RT) no later than 10 weeks after primary diagnosis 7. Aged greater than or equal to 18 years, either sex 8. Karnofsky Performance Score less than or equal to 60 9. Life expectancy greater than 12 weeks 10. For women with childbearing potential, (and men) adequate contraception 11.

| Participant exclusion criteria | 1. Refusal of the patients to take part in the study 2. Previous radiotherapy of the brain or chemotherapy with dacarbazine (DTIC) or TMZ 3. More than 50.4 Gy applied via photon-RT prior to carbon ion RT 4. Time interval of greater than 10 weeks after primary diagnosis and beginning of study treatment (proton or carbon ion RT) 5. Patients who have not yet recovered from acute toxicities of prior therapies 6. Clinically active kidney-liver or cardiac disease 7. Known carcinoma less than 5 years ago (excluding carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin) requiring immediate treatment interfering with study therapy 8. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) 9. Pregnant or lactating women 10. Participation in another clinical study or observation period of competing trials, respectively |
