Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (18F-DOPA, PET/MRI, PET/CT, temozolomide)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients receive 18F-DOPA IV and undergo PET/MRI or PET/CT imaging scan. Patients then receive proton beam radiotherapy over 5 or 10 consecutive days excluding weekend and standard of care temozolomide on days 1-7 or 1-14. Beginning cycles 2, patients receive standard of care temozolomide on days 1-5. Cycles with temozolomide repeat every 28 days for up to 7 cycles in the in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

What potential hazards arise from the administration of Temozolomide?

"Based on the available evidence, Temozolomide's safety was estimated to be a 2. This is due to it being in the Phase 2 trial stage, indicating that there is some data supporting its security but none concerning efficacy."

Answered by AI

Are there any other scientific experiments involving Temozolomide that have been completed?

"Currently, 207 scientific investigations into Temozolomide are being executed; 24 of them inhabit Phase 3. The majority of occurrences can be observed in Seoul and Songpa, but the drug is also being studied at 4752 locations worldwide."

Answered by AI

Is this study pioneering in its approach?

"According to the databases, there are 207 live studies for Temozolomide that span 36 countries and 935 cities. This medication has been monitored since 2002 when Schering-Plough conducted a Phase 2 study with 60 participants. Since then, 623 trials have concluded their research."

Answered by AI

For which conditions is Temozolomide a common remedy?

"Nitrosourea-based treatments are often treated with temozolomide. This compound can also be beneficial in the management of refractory directives, advance mycosis fungoides, and intractable neuroblastoma."

Answered by AI

What is the current enrollment size for this clinical trial?

"This clinical trial is no longer enrolling participants. It was first posted on March 28th 2019 and the last edits were made September 20th 2022. At present, there are 707 trials researching glioblastoma and 207 trials with Temozolomide which have open recruitment periods."

Answered by AI

Are there any slots available to join this experiment?

"At this moment, no further patients are being sought for enrollment. This trial was initially posted on March 28th 2019 and finalized its updates in September 20th 2022. If you're looking for other studies related to glioblastoma or Temozolomide, there are currently 707 and 207 active trials respectively."
