Overview
The goal of this clinical trial is To investigate the safety and efficacy of Tumor-Treating Fields (TTFields) in combined with temozolomide (TMZ) and tislelizumab in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM).
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- After brain surgery (patients with total resection, partial resection and biopsy were acceptable), the pathological examination confirmed glioblastoma with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild-type according to the 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) classification of tumors of the central nervous system.
- The age of the subjects was ≥18 years old;
- Supratentorial tumors;
- Patients who had undergone maximal surgical resection (biopsy) and completed TMZ concurrent chemoradiotherapy were planned for adjuvant TMZ treatment.
- Karnofsky performance status (KPS) score ≥70;
- The predicted survival time was ≥3 months.
- Voluntarily signed informed consent;
- Subjects of childbearing potential had to agree to use effective contraception for the duration of the trial.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Early progression of GBM occurred after TMZ+radiation therapy (RT) treatment (except pseudoprogression, imaging examination should be supplemented to further exclude if necessary).
- The subject had received any other cytotoxic or biologic antineoplastic therapy before enrollment;
- Distant leptomeningeal metastasis;
- Patients had a diagnosis of cancer other than glioblastoma and received antineoplastic therapy within 5 years before enrollment, excluding cured stage I prostate cancer, cervical or uterine cancer in situ, breast cancer in situ, and nonmelanoma skin cancer.
- Previous treatment with anti-PD-1 antibody/anti-PD-L1 antibody and anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) antibody;
- Participants who had received systemic immunosuppressive therapy (including but not limited to glucocorticoids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, or antineoplastic factor agents) within 2 weeks before enrollment. Excluding nasal sprays and inhaled corticosteroids;
- The presence of an active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease that was judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for this study. The following exclusions may be made: vitiligo, alopecia, Graves' disease, psoriasis, or eczema that did not require systemic treatment within the previous 2 years; Hypothyroidism (due to autoimmune thyroiditis) that is asymptomatic or requires only stable doses of hormone-replacement therapy or type I diabetes that requires only stable doses of insulin-replacement therapy, or childhood asthma that has resolved completely without intervention or recurrence in adulthood without an external trigger.
- Participants had to meet certain criteria for bone marrow, liver and kidney function
before enrollment, and were not eligible if they had any of the following:
- Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 100×103/μL)
- Neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count < 1.5×103/μL)
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4 grade non-hematologic toxicity (except alopecia, nausea and vomiting)
- Significant liver function impairment -aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) exceeding 3 times the upper limit of normal
- Total bilirubin more than 1.5 times the upper limit of the normal range
- Severe renal impairment (serum creatinine >1.7 mg/dL, or >150 μmol/L).
- The subject had an active implanted device (deep brain stimulator, spinal cord
stimulator, vagus nerve stimulator, pacemaker, cardiac defibrillator, etc.).
- Infratentorial tumors;
- Documented increased intracranial pressure (clinically manifested as severe papilledema, vomiting, nausea, or decreased consciousness);
- There were infection, ulcer and unhealed wound in the skin where the electrode was applied.
- A known history of allergy to TMZ or tislelizumab;
- Skull defects or residual metal fragments in the skull (except titanium plates or nails used for skull surgery);
- Patients allergic to conductive hydrogels or medical adhesives;
- Those who are pregnant or preparing to become pregnant or who are breastfeeding;
- Patients with poor compliance, as judged by the investigator, or other factors considered by the investigator to be not suitable for the study.
