NOA-05-Trial (single-arm phase 2 study of PC chemotherapy in patients with gliomatosis cerebri)
In the study, 35 patients were treated with PC chemotherapy. The study has been completed, analyzed and published. With PC therapy alone, the median progression-free survival was 14 months and the median overall survival was 30 months. The detection of an IDH-1 mutation and the absence of a bihemispheric symmetrical pattern of involvement on MRI were identified as independent positive prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis. The NOA-05 study is the only prospective therapy study for gliomatosis cerebri to date and establishes PC therapy alone as a reasonable first-line therapy for gliomatosis cerebri.
