Trial Outcomes & Findings for Testing Ramipril to Prevent Memory Loss in People With Glioblastoma (NCT NCT03475186)

NCT ID: NCT03475186

Last Updated: 2026-03-13

Results Overview

HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R. A raw score (0-36) for part A Total Recall is calculated as the total number of words correctly recalled amongst the three trials. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

Timeframe: Baseline,10 weeks

Population: Analyses for the Ramipril arm were conducted as intent to treat. Analyses for both arms include patients with available data for the neurocognitive tests at both timepoints.

HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R. A raw score (0-36) for part A Total Recall is calculated as the total number of words correctly recalled amongst the three trials. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

Part A of the TMT measures attention and visual motor skills and processing speed and requires subjects to connect 25 numbered circles in the proper sequence (1-2-3-…) as quickly as possible. The raw score for TMT-A is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. Scores can also be generated for number of errors and number of circles correctly connected. If the assessment was not completed in the allotted time, a prorated score was calculated based on the last completed correct circle. Final prorated raw scores of total time were at least 0 seconds with no maximum limit. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

TMT-B requires subjects to connect 25 dots in an alternating numerical and alphabetical sequence (1-A-2-B-…). TMT-B with its added complexity and set shifting requirements is a widely used measure of executive function. The raw score TMT-B is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. If the assessment was not completed in the allotted time, a prorated score was calculated based on the last completed correct circle. Final prorated raw scores of total time were at least 0 seconds with no maximum limit. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range.

The COWA measures speed of mental processing, verbal fluency, and executive function. Subjects are asked to name as many words as possible all beginning with a specified letter. A total of three trials are administered, each with a different letter. The raw score on the COWA (0-87) is the total number of words named across the three trials minus repetitions. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function. Change in standardized scores are compared with results from the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

Shipley Institute of Living Scale provides an assessment of premorbid intellectual functioning comparable to a verbal IQ and thus is a proxy for cognitive reserve. This vocabulary test requires respondents to read a target word and select one of four words that most closely means the same thing. The score is total correct of 40 items (0-40). Higher scores indicate a better outcome.

Population: The analysis population includes patients treated with Ramipril with assessments evaluable at each timepoint.

A 50-item questionnaire with a 20-item brain cancer specific section, used to assess the physical and psychosocial functioning and symptom experience. All of the scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100 with standardization. Higher scores indicate higher levels of functioning and health status/QoL.

Ramipril will be taken once daily by mouth. It will be titrated during the first 3 weeks of chemoradiation to the highest tolerable dose (2.5-5 mg). This dose will be taken each day until 4 months post-chemoradiation treatment (22 weeks).
RTOG 0825 Control Arm
RTOG 0825 was a prospective, randomized phase III trial in newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma comparing standard radiation and temozolomide therapy with and without bevacizumab. This arm consists of patients with GBM receiving radiation with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide per the RTOG 0825 standard arm.

A comparison of HVLT-R Total Recall standardized scores between groups at study end. HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R. A raw score (0-36) for part A Total Recall is calculated as the total number of words correctly recalled amongst the three trials. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range. Higher standardized scores indicate better neurocognitive function.

A comparison of TMT-A standardized scores between groups at study end. Part A of the TMT measures attention and visual motor skills and processing speed and requires subjects to connect 25 numbered circles in the proper sequence (1-2-3-…) as quickly as possible. The raw score for TMT-A is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. Scores can also be generated for number of errors and number of circles correctly connected. If the assessment was not completed in the allotted time, a prorated score was calculated based on the last completed correct circle. Final prorated raw scores of total time were at least 0 seconds with no maximum limit. Test scores are presented as standardized z scores (mean=0, sd=1) with infinite range.

Comparison of EORTCQLQ30/BN20 results between groups at study end -- a 50-item questionnaire with a 20-item brain cancer specific section, used to assess the physical and psychosocial functioning and symptom experience. All scales and single-item measures range in score from 0 to 100 with standardization. Higher scores indicate higher levels of functioning and health status/QoL. Scores are compared with the control arm of RTOG0825 (NCT00884741).

Outcome measures

Measure
Ramipril
n=46 Participants
Ramipril will be taken once daily by mouth. It will be titrated during the first 3 weeks of chemoradiation to the highest tolerable dose (2.5-5 mg). This dose will be taken each day until 4 months post-chemoradiation treatment (22 weeks).
RTOG 0825 Control Arm
n=99 Participants
RTOG 0825 was a prospective, randomized phase III trial in newly diagnosed patients with glioblastoma comparing standard radiation and temozolomide therapy with and without bevacizumab. This arm consists of patients with GBM receiving radiation with concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide per the RTOG 0825 standard arm.
