Abstract PURPOSE Anlotinib, an orally multi-target tyrosine kinase inhibitor, inhibits tumor angiogenic and proliferative signal pathways. We performed a phase II trial of anlotinib in combination with the STUPP regimen in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme（GBM）to determine whether the combination therapy would safely improve outcomes in this group of patients. An initial pilot study assessed interim safety and tolerability. METHODS AND MATERIALS Ten newly diagnosed GBM patients were included in this study. All patients received standard radiation of 60 Gy in 30 fractions starting within 4–6 weeks after surgery with concurrent TMZ (daily, 75 mg/m2) and anlotinib (8mg per day, from day 1 to 14, every 3 weeks). After a 4-week break, adjuvant therapy including 6 cycles of TMZ (150–200 mg/m², from day 1 to 5, every 4 weeks) and 8 cycles of anlotinib (8mg per day, from day 1 to 14, every 3 weeks) was given. For patients completing adjuvant therapy, anlotinib alone (8mg per day, from day 1 to 14, every 3 weeks) was administrated until disease progression. RESULTS All patients completed concurrent chemo-radiotherapy without interruption. One patient developed grade 3 weight loss at 56th week and grade 3 presumed radiation-induced cognitive disturbance at 60th week. Fatigue and hypertension were frequently observed during treatment, which potentially be related to the treatment. No severe toxicity was observed in other patients. Up to this writing, none of these patients developed disease progression. CONCLUSION Anlotinib combined with the STUPP regimen is a potential choice for newly diagnosed GBM patients. It is well tolerated and the toxicity is manageable. It’s acceptable to continue enrolling of this Phase II study.

PURPOSE: Temozolomide is a novel oral alkylating agent with demonstrated efficacy as second-line therapy for patients with recurrent anaplastic astrocytoma and glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). This phase II study was performed to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of concomitant radiation plus temozolomide therapy followed by adjuvant temozolomide therapy in patients with newly diagnosed GBM. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Sixty-four patients were enrolled onto this open-label, phase II trial. Temozolomide (75 mg/m2/d × 7 d/wk for 6 weeks) was administered orally concomitant with fractionated radiotherapy (60 Gy total dose: 2 Gy × 5 d/wk for 6 weeks) followed by temozolomide monotherapy (200 mg/m2/d × 5 days, every 28 days for six cycles). The primary end points were safety and tolerability, and the secondary end point was overall survival. RESULTS: Concomitant radiation plus temozolomide therapy was safe and well tolerated. Nonhematologic toxicities were rare and mild to moderate in severity. During the concomitant treatment phase, grade 3 or 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or both were observed in 6% of patients, including two severe infections with Pneumocystis carinii. During adjuvant temozolomide, 2% and 6% of cycles were associated with grade 3 and 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia, respectively. Median survival was 16 months, and the 1- and 2-year survival rates were 58% and 31%, respectively. Patients younger than 50 years old and patients who underwent debulking surgery had the best survival outcome. CONCLUSION: Continuous daily temozolomide and concomitant radiation is safe. This regimen of concomitant chemoradiotherapy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy may prolong the survival of patients with glioblastoma. Further investigation is warranted, and a randomized trial is ongoing.

Dendritic cells (DCs) are antigen-presenting cells that are capable of priming anti-tumor immune responses, thus serving as attractive tools to generate tumor vaccines. In this multicentric randomized open-label phase II study, we investigated the efficacy of vaccination with tumor lysate-charged autologous DCs (Audencel) in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Patients aged 18 to 70 years with histologically proven primary GBM and resection of at least 70% were randomized 1:1 to standard of care (SOC) or SOC plus vaccination (weekly intranodal application in weeks seven to 10, followed by monthly intervals). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival at 12 months. Secondary endpoints were overall survival, safety, and toxicity. Seventy-six adult patients were analyzed in this study. Vaccinations were given for seven (3–20) months on average. No severe toxicity was attributable to vaccination. Seven patients showed flu-like symptoms, and six patients developed local skin reactions. Progression-free survival at 12 months did not differ significantly between the control and vaccine groups (28.4% versus 24.5%, p = 0.9975). Median overall survival was similar with 18.3 months (vaccine: 564 days, 95% CI: 436–671 versus control: 568 days, 95% CI: 349–680; p = 0.89, harzard ratio (HR) 0.99). Hence, in this trial, the clinical outcomes of patients with primary GBM could not be improved by the addition of Audencel to SOC.
