Basic Trial Information
| Phase | Type | Status | Age | Protocol IDs |
|---|
| Phase II | Treatment | Closed | 16 and over | FRE-FNCLCC-98009
EU-20018, NCT00006119 |
Objectives - Determine complete, partial, or stable response to hydroxyurea in patients with recurrent and/or nonresectable meningioma.
- Determine response at 2 years to this regimen in these patients.
- Determine overall and disease free survival of these patients after this regimen.
- Determine quality of life of these patients.
- Determine the toxicities of this regimen in these patients.
Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics:
- Histologically proven progressive meningioma that is not curable by
surgery
Prior/Concurrent Therapy:
Biologic therapy: Chemotherapy: - No prior chemotherapy
- No other concurrent chemotherapy
Endocrine therapy: - Concurrent corticosteroids allowed for control of intracranial
pressure
Radiotherapy: - Prior radiotherapy allowed
- No concurrent radiotherapy
Surgery: - See Disease Characteristics
Other: - At least 1 year since prior experimental therapy
Patient Characteristics:
Age: Performance status: Life expectancy: Hematopoietic: - WBC at least 3,000/mm3
- Platelet count at least 100,000/mm3
Hepatic: - Bilirubin no greater than 2 times upper limit of normal
(ULN)
- AST and ALT no greater than 2 times ULN
- Alkaline phosphatase no greater than 2 times ULN
Renal: - Creatinine no greater than 2 times ULN
Other: - Not pregnant or nursing
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and
for 6 months after study
- No other malignancy
Expected Enrollment A total of 60 patients (30 per stratum) will be accrued for this study. Outline This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to grade
of disease (I vs II or III). Patients receive oral hydroxyurea daily for 2 years. Quality of life is assessed before treatment, then every 3 months for 2
years.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
