IMPORTANCE: Glioblastoma is the most devastating primary malignancy of the central nervous system in adults. Most patients die within 1 to 2 years of diagnosis. Tumor-treating fields (TTFields) are a locoregionally delivered antimitotic treatment that interferes with cell division and organelle assembly. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of TTFields used in combination with temozolomide maintenance treatment after chemoradiation therapy for patients with glioblastoma. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS: After completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients with glioblastoma were randomized (2:1) to receive maintenance treatment with either TTFields plus temozolomide (n = 466) or temozolomide alone (n = 229) (median time from diagnosis to randomization, 3.8 months in both groups). The study enrolled 695 of the planned 700 patients between July 2009 and November 2014 at 83 centers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Israel, and South Korea. The trial was terminated based on the results of this planned interim analysis. INTERVENTIONS: Treatment with TTFields was delivered continuously (>18 hours/day) via 4 transducer arrays placed on the shaved scalp and connected to a portable medical device. Temozolomide (150-200 mg/m2/d) was given for 5 days of each 28-day cycle. MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES: The primary end point was progression-free survival in the intent-to-treat population (significance threshold of .01) with overall survival in the per-protocol population (n = 280) as a powered secondary end point (significance threshold of .006). This prespecified interim analysis was to be conducted on the first 315 patients after at least 18 months of follow-up. RESULTS: The interim analysis included 210 patients randomized to TTFields plus temozolomide and 105 randomized to temozolomide alone, and was conducted at a median follow-up of 38 months (range, 18-60 months). Median progression-free survival in the intent-to-treat population was 7.1 months (95% CI, 5.9-8.2 months) in the TTFields plus temozolomide group and 4.0 months (95% CI, 3.3-5.2 months) in the temozolomide alone group (hazard ratio [HR], 0.62 [98.7% CI, 0.43-0.89]; P = .001). Median overall survival in the per-protocol population was 20.5 months (95% CI, 16.7-25.0 months) in the TTFields plus temozolomide group (n = 196) and 15.6 months (95% CI, 13.3-19.1 months) in the temozolomide alone group (n = 84) (HR, 0.64 [99.4% CI, 0.42-0.98]; P = .004). CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: In this interim analysis of 315 patients with glioblastoma who had completed standard chemoradiation therapy, adding TTFields to maintenance temozolomide chemotherapy significantly prolonged progression-free and overall survival.

背景:胶质母细胞瘤是成人中枢神经系统中最具破坏性的原发性恶性肿瘤。大多数患者在诊断后 1 至 2 年内死亡。肿瘤治疗电场(TTFields)是一种局部递送电切治疗方法,可干扰细胞分裂和细胞器组装。 目的:评估 TTFields 联合替莫唑胺维持治疗在放化疗后胶质母细胞瘤患者中的疗效和安全性。 设计、地点和参与者:在放化疗完成后,将胶质母细胞瘤患者随机(2:1)分为 TTFields 联合替莫唑胺维持治疗组(n=466)或替莫唑胺单药治疗组(n=229)(两组从诊断到随机分组的中位时间为 3.8 个月)。该研究在美国、加拿大、欧洲、以色列和韩国的 83 个中心共纳入了计划纳入的 700 例患者中的 695 例,时间为 2009 年 7 月至 2014 年 11 月。该试验根据这项计划的中期分析结果终止。 干预措施:TTFields 通过放置在剃光的头皮上的 4 个换能器阵列连续(每天>18 小时)传递,连接到便携式医疗设备。替莫唑胺(150-200mg/m2/d)在每 28 天周期的 5 天内给予。 主要结局和措施:主要终点是意向治疗人群的无进展生存期(意向治疗人群的显著性阈值为.01),次要终点是方案人群的总生存期(n=280)(显著性阈值为.006)。该预设中期分析将在至少 18 个月随访后对前 315 例患者进行。 结果:中期分析包括 210 例随机分配至 TTFields 联合替莫唑胺组和 105 例随机分配至替莫唑胺单药组,中位随访时间为 38 个月(范围 18-60 个月)。意向治疗人群的中位无进展生存期为 TTFields 联合替莫唑胺组 7.1 个月(95%CI 5.9-8.2 个月),替莫唑胺单药组为 4.0 个月(95%CI 3.3-5.2 个月)(风险比[HR],0.62[98.7%CI 0.43-0.89];P=0.001)。方案人群的中位总生存期为 TTFields 联合替莫唑胺组 20.5 个月(95%CI 16.7-25.0 个月)(n=196),替莫唑胺单药组为 15.6 个月(95%CI 13.3-19.1 个月)(n=84)(HR,0.64[99.4%CI 0.42-0.98];P=0.004)。 结论:在这项完成标准放化疗的 315 例胶质母细胞瘤患者的中期分析中,TTFields 联合替莫唑胺维持化疗可显著延长无进展生存期和总生存期。 试验注册:clinicaltrials.gov 标识符:NCT00916409。
