European Clinical Trial Report

Augsburg 29.09.2007

 

Dear Colleagues,

The last several months have been very interesting in the neuro-oncological field in Europe. EANS meeting in Glasgow 2.-7.9.2007 gave a good overview of the current status.

The phase III multicenter study using adenovirus-mediated TK-gene transfer in primary glioblastom patients (Cerepro) completed its enrolment in May 2007. The interim analysis in June showed no concerns regarding safety, and no statistical difference between study and control group yet. The next interim analysis will be done in December.

British colleagues showed interesting first result from a mobile intraoperative radiotherapy devise (Liaquat).

Tumor vaccination with autologous dendritic cells for relapsed high grade glioma patients showed promising results, especially in young patients (De Vleeschouwer, Belgium, multicentre study with Germany and MD Anderson Cancer Center)

Finland continued the phase II study using boron neutron capture therapy for skull base malignant tumors (Kouri, Mäenpää, Helsinki).

The following list shows the activity in the field, but is not definite. I hope to get a response from my European colleagues and a complete list of the ongoing clinical neuro-oncological studies into my next report.

My best regards,
