New treatment option for Oligodendroglioma
Official title A Randomized Trial of Delayed Radiotherapy in Patients Low-grade Oligodendrogliomas Requiring a Treatment Other Than Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04702581
What this study is testing
What is PCV chemotherapy?
PCV chemotherapy is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for oligodendroglioma.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- Because of their prolonged survival, patients with 1p/19q-codeleted low-grade oligodendrogliomas treated with RT + PCV are at risk of neurocognitive deterioration. We make the hypothesis that withholding radiotherapy until tumor progression could reduce the risk of neurocognitive deterioration without impairing overall survival.
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
- Which group you join is decided by chance.
