Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The management of lower-grade gliomas (Diffuse low-grade and intermediate-grade gliomas, WHO II and III) is largely based on surgery followed by radiotherapy. Recent studies showed that lower-grade glioma patients with IDH wild-type (IDH-wt) and TERT promoter mutation (TERTp-mut) had dismal clinical outcomes. These results suggested that current treatment strategies are not adequate for this subtype of lower-grade glioma. The present study aims to examine the efficacy and safety of concurrent chemoradiotherapy with temozolomide followed by adjuvant temozolomide for lower- grade glioma patients with IDH-wt and TERTp-mut.

- Chemoradiotherapy with Temozolomide
- description
- Patients undergo intensity-modulated radiation therapy or 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks (for a total of 60 Gy) and receive temozolomide PO QD (75 mg/m2/day, 7 days/week) for up to 7 weeks. Beginning 4 weeks after completion of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, patients receive temozolomide PO QD on days 1-5 (150-200 mg/m2). Treatment with temozolomide repeats every 28 days for up to 12 courses
