Abstract:
2007 Background: EORTC-1320-BTG investigated the activity, safety and quality of life of therapy with the tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloid trabectedin (Yondelis) in patients with recurrent higher-grade meningiomas. Trabectedin was originally derived from the Caribbean sea squirt, Ecteinascidia turbinata, and currently is manufactured by total synthesis. Methods: Adult patients with histological diagnosis of WHO grade II or III meningioma and radiologically documented progression after maximal feasible surgery and radiotherapy were randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to receive intravenous trabectedin (1.5 mg/m 2 every three weeks) or local standard of care (LOC). The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Results: Within 22.1 months, we randomized a total of 90 patients (n=29 in LOC arm, n=61 in trabectedin arm) in 35 institutions and nine countries. In the LOC arm, the following treatments were administered: hydroxyurea (n=11), bevacizumab (n=9), none (n=4), chemotherapy (n=3), somatostatin analogue (n=1), combined chemotherapy and somatostatin analogue (n=1). With 71 PFS events, median PFS was 4.17 months in the LOC and 2.43 months in the trabectedin arm (hazard ratio [HR] for progression, 1.42; 80% CI, 1.00-2.03; p=0.204) with a PFS-6 rate of 29.1% (95% CI, 11.9%-48.8%) in the LOC and 21.1% (95% CI, 11.3%-32.9%) in the trabectedin arm. Median OS was 10.61 months in the LOC and 11.37 months in the trabectedin arm (HR for death, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.54-1.76; p=0.94).Grade 3 to 5 adverse events occurred in 44.4% (18.5% related, 4 serious adverse events, 0 lethal events) of the patients in the LOC and 59% (32.8% related, 57 serious adverse events and 2 toxic deaths) of patient in the trabectedin arm. Conclusions: In this first prospective randomized trial performed in recurrent grade II or III meningioma, trabectedin did not improve PFS and OS and was associated with significantly higher toxicity as compared to LOC treatment. The data collected in this study may serve as benchmark for future clinical trials in this setting. Clinical trial information: NCT02234050.
