The NeoGlioma Study

Overview

About this study

This study aims to evaluate the safety of preoperative radiosurgery in the treatment of patients with biopsy-proven high grade glioma prior to conventional therapy. Safety is defined as any acute grade 3 (CTCAE v5.0) or greater unplanned adverse event from the time of enrollment until 4 weeks following postoperative radiotherapy.

by the Mayo multidisciplinary neuro-oncology team (World Health Organization [WHO]
grade III-IV, including glioblastoma) regardless of IDH and MGMT status

- Judged to not be at risk of significant clinical risk (i.e. herniation) with
radiation-induced edema prior to resection

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1.5 x 10^9/L (obtained =< 14 days prior to
registration)

- Platelet count >= 80,000/mm^3 (80 x 10^9/L) (obtained =< 14 days prior to
registration)

- Hemoglobin (Hgb) >= 9 g/dL (=< 14 days prior to registration)

Exclusion Criteria:

received surgery as treatment and now there is concern for transformation to
grade III-IV tumor

- Primary spinal cord glioma or primary brainstem glioma

- Residual tumor of excessive volume or eloquent location per investigator discretion

- Patients who are unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures
