LUMOS2

Low & Anaplastic Grade Glioma Umbrella Study of Molecular Guided TherapieS

Summary

LUMOS2 is an innovative umbrella trial to address the unmet needs of people with relapsed G2/3 IDH-mutant glioma. Allocation to LUMOS2 treatment arms will be guided by genomic profiling results. Participants with a matched, targeted therapy will be provided the therapy through a LUMOS2 targeted treatment arm and participants who do not have an actionable molecular target, will be randomly allocated to a LUMOS2 treatment arm with a novel mechanism of action. Each treatment arm will recruit 19 patients and the primary objective of the study is to determine progression-free survival at six months.

MAGMA

The Multi-Arm GlioblastoMa Australasia (MAGMA) Trial

Summary

The MAGMA trial is a platform trial that will aim to assess a number of options in standard of care for the management of glioblastoma. Initial questions of interest are i) whether or not to give daily temozolomide as soon as possible after surgery prior to chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and ii) whether to give 6 cycles of temozolomide after CRT, or continue monthly treatment until disease progression.

CATNON

Phase III trial on Concurrent and Adjuvant Temozolomide chemotherapy in non-1p/19q deleted anaplastic glioma. The CATNON Intergroup trial

Summary

The main purpose of this study is to determine whether chemotherapy given in addition to radiotherapy or the addition of chemotherapy after the completion of radiotherapy will improve overall survival and the time until tumour progression. Further, this study aims to find out the effects of chemotherapy when either given at the same time as radiotherapy or after finishing radiotherapy. The second major objective is to identify patients most likely to benefit from this specific treatment based on molecular markers analysed on the tumour specimen previously resected which will ultimately allow the development of new treatments more specific for each patients tumour characteristics.

LUMOS

Low & Intermediate Grade Glioma Umbrella Study of Molecular Guided TherapieS

Summary

Low and intermediate grade brain tumour are universally fatal brain tumours with almost no access to clinical trials. LUMOS is a comprehensive Australian trials program for these patients. We will match tumours on a molecular level with the best treatments. We will assist in accessing these drugs, including creating trials of new treatments. Lastly, we will collect an invaluable set of tissue and blood before and after treatment for future research into better treatments.

SEED

Self-reported evaluation of the adverse effects of dexamethasone

Summary

This is not an interventional study but a feasibility study measuring patient reported outcomes (PROs) in the evaluation of side effects and toxicities from steroid use in patients with brain tumours or brain metastases or advanced cancer.  A multicentre cohort study with patient (including PRO measures), caregiver and clinician measures. Data will inform the baseline measures for a clinical study that will investigate whether acetazolomide, a steroid sparing agent can reduce the need for steroids and therefore reduce the side effects associated with steroid use.
