EORTC 1709/CCTG CE.8: A phase III trial of marizomib in combination with temozolomide-based radiochemotherapy versus temozolomide-based radiochemotherapy alone in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
2004 Background: Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receive postoperative standard therapy with radiotherapy (RT), and concomitant and up to six cycles of maintenance temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy (TMZ/RT→TMZ). Marizomib is a novel, irreversible and brain-penetrant pan-proteasome inhibitor with encouraging findings in preclinical models and early-stage clinical trials for patients with newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma. Therefore, a phase 3 trial was designed to explore the activity of marizomib in addition to TMZ/RT→TMZ. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03345095 Methods: EORTC 1709/CCTG CE.8 is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open label phase 3 superiority trial. Eligibility criteria included histologically confirmed newly diagnosed glioblastoma and a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) > 70. Eligible patients were stratified for institution, age, KPS as well as extent of surgery, and centrally randomized in a 1:1 ratio. The primary objective of this study is to compare overall survival (OS) in patients receiving marizomib in addition to standard treatment with patients receiving standard treatment only. Secondary endpoints include progression-free survival (PFS), safety, neurocognitive function, and quality of life. Results: The study was opened at 49 EORTC sites in Europe, 23 CCTG sites in Canada, and 8 sites in the US. Patient enrolment started in June 2018 and was close to completion at the time of a planned interim analysis in September 2020. A total of 749 patients (of the planned 750) were randomized when the IDMC recommended to discontinue enrollment. Age, KPS and extent of resection were well balanced between the 2 study arms. No difference in median OS was observed between the standard arm (15.9 months) and the marizomib arm (15.7 months; HR = 0.99). Median PFS was 6.1 vs. 6.2 months (HR = 1.02). Patients in the marizomib group had more often grade 3/4 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAE) compared to the standard therapy group (42.6% vs. 20.5%), including ataxia, hallucinations and headache. Conclusions: The addition of marizomib to standard radiochemotherapy did not improve OS or PFS in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. Final survival analyses including determination of MGMT promoter methylation status and analyses of other secondary endpoints are ongoing. Clinical trial information: NCT03345095.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
