Summary

This randomized, open-label, multicenter, 2-arm study will investigate the efficacy, safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of bevacizumab when added to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ as compared to postoperative radiotherapy with concomitant and adjuvant TMZ alone in paediatric participants with newly diagnosed histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) Grade III or IV localized supratentorial or infratentorial cerebellar or peduncular high grade glioma (HGG). Participants will be randomly assigned to one of two treatment arms.

Upon approval by the Health Authorities/Ethics Committees in the participating countries, an additional young participant cohort (YPC) (children \>/= 6 months and \< 3 years of age with progressive or relapsed metastatic or localized, supra- or infratentorial, non-brain stem WHO Grade III or IV HGG) was included in the study. Children in the YPC will receive bevacizumab and TMZ without radiation therapy. The anticipated time on study treatment is over 1 year.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Bevacizumab

10 milligrams per kilogram every 2 weeks during the study for up to 12 cycles, each cycle length of 28 days

RADIATION

Radiotherapy

Total dose of 54 Grey (Gy) units delivered in 30 daily fractions of 1.8 Gy over 6 weeks during the chemoradiation phase.

DRUG

Temozolomide (TMZ)

75 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) daily continuous starting concomitantly with the first radiation fraction and ending with the last radiation fraction for a maximum number of treatment days = 49 days. During the TMZ adjuvant treatment phase and for participants from YPC: TMZ (150 to 200 mg/m\^2/day) x 12 cycles, 1st cycle 150 mg/m\^2/days 1-5, escalated to 200 mg/m\^2 on Days 1-5 from Cycle 2 onwards depending on the tolerance during the 1st cycle. Cycle length = 28 days.
