AI summary: who the study is looking for
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with newly diagnosed glioblastoma, confirmed under the microscope. Two groups can join: patients whose tumour cannot be operated on, and older patients.
- Age
- At least 18 years old. Cohort 1 (non-operable patients): 18 to 70 years. Cohort 2 (elderly patients): over 70 years.
- Sex
- Men and women can join.
- Disease stage
- Glioblastoma confirmed by biopsy or tissue examination (2016 WHO classification). Disease that lights up on MRI done within 14 days before screening. Cohort 1: non-operable, biopsy available, Karnofsky index of at least 50%. Cohort 2: Balducci score I or II, Karnofsky score of at least 70%, with or without surgery.
- Earlier treatment
- No earlier radiotherapy of the brain. No earlier treatment of the glioblastoma except surgery. Glucocorticoid therapy is allowed.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Earlier brain radiotherapy or earlier tumour treatment other than surgery
- Digestive disease with poor absorption, or ongoing diarrhoea of grade 2 or higher
- Cannot have an MRI
- Pregnant or breastfeeding
- Known allergy to crocetins, L-TC or temozolomide contraindication

Phase III Randomized Study of Adding or Not Liposomal Transcrocetin (L-TC) With Concomitant HypoFractionated Radiation ThErapy and TEmozolomide in Newly Diagnosed GLioblastoma (GBM) Patients to Evaluate Efficacy and Safety
This is phase III randomized, multicenter study adding or not intra-venous Liposomal Trasncrocetin (L-TC) to hypofractionated radiotherapy and concomitant Temozolomide followed by adjuvant Temozolomide in patients with histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM).
Inclusion: Cohort 1 - Non-operable patients; Patients aged at least 18 years old and ≤ 70 years old; male or female; AND available biopsy; AND Karnofsky index ≥ 50% at Screening; Cohort 2 - Elderly patients; Patients aged > 70 years old; male or female; AND Balducci score I or II. For patients classified in Balducci II, only light Balducci II will be included, as defined by a Charlson score <4 and a score of autonomy IADL = 4. In the oncogeriatric evaluation, symptoms related to brain cancer disease have not to be considered for this criterion; Karnofsky score (KPS) of ≥ 70% at Screening; Regardless resection; MRI at maximum 48h00 after surgery if partial, subtotal or macroscopically complete or supra-total resection; For both cohorts; Histologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma (GBM) (2016 OMS classification) (Louis et al., 2016); Contrast enhancing disease on MRI within 14 days prior to screening; Within 2 weeks of baseline visit, hematologic and renal functions as specified: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, Hgb ≥ 9.0g/dL, creatinine ≤ 1.7mg/dl, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) within 2 times the upper limit of normal, transaminases ≤ 4 times above the upper limits of the institutional norm; Sexually active patients must use an acceptable method of contraception while receiving doses of study medication; Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and have additional pregnancy tests during study.
Exclusion: Any previous radiotherapy (RT) of the brain whatever the interval between previous brain RT and diagnoses of GBM); Any previous treatment of the GBM (except surgery) such as chemotherapy (including Gliadel wafer or gliasite application), immunotherapy, therapy with a biologic agent, hormonal therapy or Carmustine implant for brain tumors or immunotherapy, including vaccination (whatever the interval between previous treatment and diagnoses of GBM). Glucocorticoid therapy is allowed; Previous digestive disease with mis-absorption such as Crohn disease or chronic colitis; Inclusion in another trial in the 30 previous days; Serious concurrent infection or medical illness that would jeopardize the ability of the patient to receive study treatment with reasonable safety; Contraindication of temozolomide as described in the Summary of product characteristics; Patient has a known hypersensitivity to crocetins, L-TC or any of its excipients; Patients with previous cancer (< 5 years) except basocellular skin tumors and in situ cervix tumor; For both cohorts; Ongoing diarrhea grade ≥ 2 in the NCI CTCAE V5.0 (whatever the cause); Patient who cannot undergo MRI; Pregnant or lactating woman; Patient who cannot understand French language; Patient without French National Health insurance; Patient who cannot be reliable for follow-up; Patient under law protection.
