This phase 2 study is a prospective cohort study. Chemotherapy alone will be proposed to adult patients suffering from a "low grade" brainstem glioma subtype showing infiltrative, non-threatening clinico-radiological progression. Patients will receive temozolomide at a monthly standard dose of 150-200 mg/m2/j J1-J5, will be clinically evaluated every month and will undergo radiological evaluation every 2 months. The duration of treatment will be 12 months. Then, the patients will be followed-up until progression, with clinical evaluations and MRI performed every 2-3 months. At the time of recurrence, treatment with focal radiation therapy will be administered (54 Gy in classical fractions).
The goal of this study is to assess the impact (objective response) of first-line chemotherapy in infiltrative non-enhancing adult brainstem gliomas that are progressing in an infiltrative and non-threatening way. Upon progression, (radiotherapy) RT will be administered. Main inclusion criteria are:18 years of age or older/Karnofsky's Index over 50 /Non-enhancing lesion at MRI/Histologically proven infiltrating pattern of brainstem glioma except in case of formal contraindication to surgery determined via discussion of the case with expert neurosurgeons during a national webmeeting ((GLIome du TRonc de l'ADulte group (GLITRAD))/Clinical and/or radiological progression with an infiltrative but non-threatening pattern, warranting antitumoral treatment. The treatment delivered will be Temozolomide at a monthly standard dose of 150-200 mg/m2/day at day 1 to day 5 for a duration of treatment of 12 months. The study is a prospective single-arm phase II trial. Primary end point is objective response rate (radiographic and clinical response) to Temozolomide according to Response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO criteria). Secondary end points are histological pattern of adult brainstem gliomas/Molecular pattern of adult brainstem gliomas/ Radiological pattern of adult brainstem gliomas based on standard and multimodal MRI/Metabolic pattern of adult brainstem gliomas based on 18F-DOPA PET CT at initial diagnosis and its change after treatment /Global survival/Quality of life questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 with BN-20)/Tolerance to temozolomide/Volumetric velocity of the tumor growth during follow-up before treatment from the initial MRI until the last MRI before beginning of the treatment, established with sagittal cube FLAIR sequences/Volumetric velocity of the tumor growth during follow-up during treatment of chemotherapy, established with sagittal cube FLAIR sequences/Rate of objective response, stabilization and progression under treatment obtained by combining the RANO criteria and the scores obtained on 3 scales (ataxia measured by the Scale for the Assessment and Rating of Ataxia (SARA), diet measured by the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) and diplopia).A number of 60 patients should be enrolled. THe duration of the study is 4 years.
