NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Introduction of the Trial: Phase & Version Date

NRG-BN003 Phase III Trial:


Observation Versus Irradiation for a Gross Totally
Resected Grade II Meningioma

NCI Protocol Version Date: December 17, 2019

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Introduction of the Trial: Cooperative Group

NRG-BN003
This trial is part of the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN)
program, which is sponsored by the National Cancer Institute
(NCI). The trial will be led by NRG Oncology with the
participation of the network of NCTN organizations.

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Introduction of the Trial: Purpose

This randomized phase III trial studies how well radiation


therapy works compared with observation in treating patients
with newly diagnosed grade II meningioma that has been
completely removed by surgery.

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Introduction of the Trial:
Schema

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Endpoints: Primary Endpoint

The primary endpoint is progression-free survival (PFS).


The principal objective is to determine the extent of clinical benefit of
the addition of adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) to gross total resection
(GTR) for patients with newly diagnosed World Health Organization
(WHO) grade II meningioma.

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Endpoints: Secondary Endpoint
• Overall survival (OS)
• Disease-specific survival (DSS)
• Toxicity (grade 3+, exclusive of expected alopecia)
• Neurocognitive function (NCF)
• Outcomes and Patient Reported Outcomes (PRO) measurements
• Adherence to protocol-specific target and normal tissue parameters
• Concordance measurements of central versus parent-institution pathology
• Assessment of pHH3 mitotic index and its correlation with PFS and OS
• Tissue and specimen collection for future translational research.

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Patient Selection Guidelines


Investigators should consider all other relevant factors
(medical and non-medical), as well as the risks and benefits
of the study therapy, when deciding if a patient is an
appropriate candidate for this trial.

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Eligibility Criteria:
• Must have psychological ability and general health that permits completion of the study requirements
and required follow up
• Women of childbearing potential randomized to receive radiation therapy must use medically acceptable
forms of contraception, hormonal or non-hormonal throughout the entire course of radiation therapy
• Submission of tumor tissue is required.
• Must have a newly diagnosed unifocal intracranial meningioma, gross totally resected and histologically
confirmed as WHO grade II based upon pathology findings
• Gross total resection (GTR) will be interpreted as modified Simpson grade 1-3 without gross residual
dural-based or extradural tumor
• GTR must be confirmed on post-operative imaging following the most recent surgery
• The patient or legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to
study entry
• Age older or equal to 18years
• History/physical examination, including neurologic examination within 60days

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Ineligibility Criteria:
• Optic nerve sheath meningioma, spinal or other extracranial meningioma, multiple
meningiomas, hemangiopericytoma
• Definitive evidence of metastatic meningioma
• Prior invasive malignancy
• Previous radiation therapy to the scalp, cranium, brain or skull base and radiation-
induced meningioma
• Major medical illness or psychiatric impairments. Such as inability to undergo MRI

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY

Pretreatment Evaluations:

Pre-operative MRI must be available for


post-operative evaluation and incorporation
in the treatment planning activities using
image registration

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Pretreatment Evaluations:
Immobilization must be used for all patients as it is well
supported by cranial immobilization technologies.

In particular, immobilization must ensure that the cranium


does not move after image-based (i.e. IGRT or otherwise)
registration and possible position adjustment.

Motion management techniques are not required.


NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL
PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Daily Treatment Localization:
Position verification shall be done prior to each treatment and
should use one of

- Stereotactic localization using a stereotactic frame

- Stereoscopic x-ray localization using either internal


patient landmarks or implanted fiducials

- Cone-beam CT registration

NRG-BN003 PHASE III TRIAL


PROTOCOL SUMMARY
Treatment Plan:

Imaging for Structure Definition and Image Registration/Fusion Target


and critical structures shall be defined on post-operative MRI acquired
within 1 week of the planning CT scan.

MRI shall be registered to the planning CT. The concurrent use of


transverse, coronal and sagittal MRI image sections is encouraged to
improve 3-dimensional identification of small structure extents
