EORTC 22033 asked whether temozolomide could replace radiotherapy as the first treatment for high-risk low-grade glioma and found no difference in progression-free survival, with the molecular subtype mattering more than the choice of treatment.
EORTC 22033-26033 randomised 477 adults with high-risk low-grade glioma to 50.4 Gy radiotherapy or dose-dense temozolomide for up to a year. Median progression-free survival was 46 months with radiotherapy and 39 months with temozolomide (hazard ratio 1.16, not significant); IDH-mutant tumours without 1p/19q co-deletion did better with radiotherapy, and health-related quality of life did not differ (Baumert and colleagues, Lancet Oncology 2016). Radiotherapy followed by chemotherapy (as in RTOG 9802) remains the standard.
