Conclusions: Survival rates for newly diagnosed patients were better than those reported in previous phase III trials. The combination of Gliadel and radiochemotherapy with TMZ was well tolerated and appeared to increase survival without increasing adverse events. Ann Surg Oncol. 2010.
Is there a way to overcome the resistance to BCNU?

Notas do Editor

  1. GLIADEL ® Wafer development was based on the concept that a biodegradable polymer capable of sustained local delivery of a drug might circumvent the restrictions imposed by the blood-brain barrier and allow for more effective direct treatment of brain tumor. To accomplish this, the ideal polymer would have the following physical characteristics: - a water-soluble matrix rather than one that could be enzymatically degraded (patient’s enzyme levels vary, which could affect the release of drug) - hydrophobic monomers that permit surface erosion while limiting penetration of water through the polymer matrix surface - anhydride bonds to provide the appropriate instability necessary for the successful employment of degradable hydrophobic monomers.
  2. This analysis represents the primary endpoint in the Brem trial; it is an analysis of all patients, i.e., the ITT group. The important information here, which will be repeated in each analysis presented, is a reduction of 33% in the risk of death in those patients who received GLIADEL . This is a significant reduction in risk, both clinically and statistically. Note that the hazard ratio (which is simply another way of expressing risk reduction) has been adjusted for prognostic factors. This simply means that a statistical method has been applied which takes into account the prognostic factors in each group and “teases” out the true or independent effect of GLIADEL. The risk reduction or survival benefit seen here can truly be attributed to GLIADEL and does not result from chance imbalances in prognostic factors between the groups.
  3. This analysis looks at the subgroup of patients with GBM in the Brem trial. It is a comparison of 6-month survival between the groups; patients in the GLIADEL group had approximately a 50% increase in 6-month survival as compared to those in the placebo group, a statistically significant difference with a p-value of 0.02.
  4. The median survival for GLIADEL ® treated patients was 13.9 months (95% CI: 12.1 to 15.1 months) while the median survival time for the placebo treated patients was 11.6 months (95% CI: 10.2 to 12.7 months) The estimated hazard ratio for GLIADEL ® treatment is 0.73 (95% CI: 0.56 to 0.95, p=0.018). When only patients with glioblastoma were included in the analysis, the hazard ratio with GLIADEL ® Wafer treatment was 0.78 (95% CI: 0.59-1.03, p=0.08, log-rank test) This trended towards, but did not reach statistical significance, likely a result of an inadequate sample size (n=207/240). Note that all p-values refer to an unstratified log-rank analysis of the Kaplan-Meier which is the gold standard statistical test for such a study.
  5. These data are derived directly form the ITT Kaplan-Meier curve. 13 patients survived greater than 3 years, 11 in the GLIADEL ® Wafer treated group and 2 in the placebo group. There were 3 GBM patients surviving greater than 3 years and all three were in the GLIADEL ® Wafer treated group.
  6. Gliadel-treated patients saw the benefit of both a reduction in the risk of death as well as a longer time to deterioration in Karnofsky Performance Score. This suggests that patients lived longer and better when compared to those receiving placebo wafers.
  7. The adverse events above were of significant concern in the recurrent surgery trial. As such, they were a focus of data collection in the large Phase III Westphal trial. The Valtonen study was small and, thus, does not contribute significantly to the safety database for GLIADEL.
  8. This difference did reach statistical significance. Potential explanations for these differences include the fact that all patients in this trial had prior surgery, radiation, and steroid therapy which may have contributed to a propensity for poor wound healing. Additionally, CSF leaks in patients implanted with GLIADEL ® Wafer might be expected to contain carmustine (BCNU), a cytotoxic agent which may contribute to poor wound healing through its effects on rapidly dividing cells. A watertight dural closure is, therefore, essential in helping to prevent this complication.
  9. In general, there were no statistically significant differences in the various healing abnormalities studied. However, a trend toward an increase in CSF leaks was seen in the GLIADEL ® Wafer group. While this did not result in an increase in infections, it is important to achieve a water-tight dural closure.
  10. The rate of intracranial infections in both the Brem and Westphal trials was very low. In fact, the literature available regarding the “expected” rates in patients undergoing craniotomy suggests these rates are well within what might otherwise be expected. Two pertinent articles are summarized below: An study by Kourinek, et.al., published in Neurosurgery in 1997, looked at 2944 patients undergoing craniotomy followed prospectively over 15 months. Infections were defined as deep (meningitis/empyema/abscess) or superficial (scalp infections/osteitis of the bone flap). Deep infections were seen in 2.5% of the patients, well within the range of what was seen in this trial. Additionally, CSF leak was found to be a risk factor for infection. Applying this information to these trial results, it is important to note that, in spite of slightly more leaks in the GLIADEL group, the incidence of infection was not different between the groups. In a study published by Tenney, et.al., in J Neurosurgery (1985), 936 patients undergoing craniotomy were followed prospectively over 30 months. Deep infections were defined in this study as involving the subgaleal space/bone/meninges/or brain parenchyma; superficial infections were defined as being limited to the scalp/skin/subcutaneous tissue. Deep wound infections occurred in 4.3% of the patients. Among craniotomies, procedures for removal of brain tumors had the highest deep wound infection rate (6%); those with gliomas had a rate of 9%. Antibiotic prophylaxis was used in less than 1% of the patients.
