Participant Flow

Seventy patients with newly diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme were enrolled between August 2006 and November 2008 from two participating sites, comprised of University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles.

Control cohort was derived from University of California, Los Angeles/Kaiser Permanente Los Angeles patients treated with first-line radiation therapy and temozolomide who had mostly received bevacizumab at recurrence.

Progression is defined using Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0), as a 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, or a measurable increase in a non-target lesion, or the appearance of new lesions.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Radiation therapy (RT) median from diagnosis to RT. Patients will have brain MRI evaluation of response and progression every 8 weeks starting from the day 56 scan obtained 2 weeks after completion of radiation and daily temozolomide and assessment will be conducted on a 7-point scale. This scale is expected to be more useful in this study because many newly-diagnosed patients are likely not to have evaluable disease due to gross total resections. Determination of whether progression occurs based on the day 56 scan will take into account the untreated window between baseline MRI and day of 1 of study. 7 Point Likert Scale: 3 to -3, 3 means complete resolution of tumor, and -3 means new lesion. A -2 or -3 assessment will be taken as tumor progression. complete resolution of tumor: 3 tumor resolved 3 tumor definitely smaller: 2 tumor probably smaller: 1 tumor unchanged: 0 tumor probably worse: -1 tumor definitely worse: -2 New Lesion: -3

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 years

Population: Description: Kaplan-Meier analysis of overall survival was performed.

IDH1 and MGMT methylation are important independent prognostic biomarkers that have to be included in a Cox regression model. In addition, subgroup analysis could reveal differential sensitivities to the treatment arm. The MGMT promoter methylation status, IDH1 mutation status were not available for all of the control samples. Therefore, only the samples with both info available were included in the analysis. Baseline analysis results are included in the Baseline Characteristics module.
