1 June RTOG Protocol No: 9802 Protocol Status: ECOG Protocol No: R9802 Opened: October 31, 1998 NCCT Protocol No: R9802 Closed: June 27, 2002 SWOG Protocol No: R9802 Title: A Phase II Study of Observation in Favorable Low-Grade Glioma and Phase III Study of Radiation with or without PCV Chemotherapy in Unfavorable Low-Grade Glioma. Patient Population: Histologic proof of supratentorial WHO grade II astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, or oligoastrocytoma confirmed by central pathology review prior to randomization. Age > 18 years. KPS > 60. Neurologic Function Score (NFS) < 3. For high risk patients (ARM 2 and 3): * Absolute granulocyte count (AGC) > 1500/mm3. * Platelet count within institutional normal range. * Serum creatinine < 2x institutional normal range. * Total bilirubin, SGOT (AST) or SGPT, and alkaline phosphatase < 2x institutional normal range. Pre-operative and post-operative MRI scans with and without contrast (pos-op MRI not necessary in biopsy only patients) obtained within 4 weeks of date of surgery. CT scans are not acceptable. Signed study-specific informed consent prior to study entry. Objectives: 1. To identify the overall (and relapse-free) survival of low-risk adult patients with supratentorial LGG (<40 years old who undergo gross total resection of a WHO grade II astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, or mixed oligoastrocytoma) who are observed postoperatively. 2. To compare the overall (and relapse-free) survival of high-risk adult patients with supratentorial LGG (>40 years old regardless of the degree of surgical resection, or age > 18 who undergo subtotal resection or biopsy, of a WHO grade II astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma, or oligoastrocytoma) who receive postoperative external beam radiation therapy with or without PCV chemotherapy. 3. To compare the severe or worse toxicities (> grade 3) of unfavorable patients receiving postoperative radiation therapy alone or radiation therapy plus PCV chemotherapy. 4. To compare the neurosurgeon s assessment of gross total resection with that of a postoperative MRI scan interpreted by a neuroradiologist. 5. To collect and store archival, paraffin embedded tissue and peripheral blood samples for concomitant and future correlative studies which will be funded by other mechanisms.

Treatment (must begin within 4 weeks after registration) a. Radiation - External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) EBRT: 54 Gy/30 fractions over six weeks, 5 days a week to gross tumor volume defined by a T2 weighted post-op MRI scan (pre-op MRI acceptable if biopsy only) plus a 2 cm margin (tumor edge to block edge.

3 June I. Summary: This study closed to accrual June 27, 2002 with 370 patients. Two hundred fifty four patients were accrued to the high risk group and randomized to Arms 2 and 3. Pretreatment characteristics are listed in Table 3.1. Toxicities are reported in Table 4.1. On the arm, one patient (1%) had grade 4 toxicity, and eight patients (6%) had grade 3 toxicity. There were no grade 3 or 4 hematologic toxicities reported. On the RT+PCV arm, four patients had non-hematologic grade 4 toxicity (3%), and 27 patients (23%) had non-hematologic grade 3 toxicity. There were no grade 3 late RT toxicities (Table 4.2). Study chair reviews of radiation therapy delivery were done on 72 patients (Table 5.1) and no review has taken place for chemotherapy yet. The second interim report of the primary study endpoint is planned after 40 deaths have occurred. II.
