Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: "perPDT"
Single arm : per-operative PhotoDynamic Therapy (perPDT) during the surgery of Glioblastoma excision.
|
Device: "perPDT"
The protocol requires the realization of specific procedures in addition to the usual care. The per-operative photodynamic therapy ("perPDT") added to surgery for glioblastoma excision. The patient will receive 5-ALA (5- alanine ,GLIOLAN drinkable) 4h before surgery + lighting of the tumor bed by a light source (laser) at the end of resection (Prolonged surgery of 45 minutes). Drug: GLIOLAN patient will receive 5-ALA (5- alanine ,GLIOLAN drinkable) 4h before surgery |
- Number of Patients having the full "PerPDT" treatment with unacceptable and unexpected toxicities (grade ≥ 3) graded According to NCI CTC Version 4.0 [ Time Frame: From the intake of Gliolan (5-Ala) until 1 month post "perPDT" ]
In particular, the following complications will be investigated: severe infection, new neurological deficit responsible for severe disability, status epilepticus, deaths during the postoperative period.
Target: At least 6/10 patients who benefited of complete "PerPDT" and without unacceptable and unexpected toxicities
- Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the Date of diagnosis of glioblastoma until the date of Relapse defined, assessed up to 24 months ]Determined according to international RANO criteria
- Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From the date of Diagnosis of glioblastoma until the date of death, assessed up to 24 months ]Determined according to international RANO criteria
- Response to treatment [ Time Frame: From the date of perPDT until relapse/death, assessed up to 24 months ]Evaluated by MRI every 3 months
- Incidence of "per PDT" treatment-emergent Adverse Events [ Time Frame: From the beginning of treatment with perPDT up to relapsing/death, assessed up to 24 months ]Collection of all Adverse events (AEs and SAEs) (according to NCI-CTC V4.0) and reviewing by an Independent Safety Monitoring Board.
- Quality of Life Questionnaire -C30 ( QLQ-C30) [ Time Frame: Every 3 months from the signature of Consent form until relapse/death, assessed up to 24 months ]The QLQ-C30 is composed of both multi-item scales and single-item measures. These include five functional scales, three symptom scales, a global health status / QoL scale, and six single items.
- Quality of Life Questionnaire - Brain Cancer Module (QLQ-BN20) [ Time Frame: Every 3 months from the signature of Consent form until relapse/death, assessed up to 24 months ]Measuring the health-related quality of life in patients with brain cancer
- Analyze of Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells [ Time Frame: Every 3 months from the signature of Consent form until relapse/death, assessed up to 24 months ]
