Summary

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. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors.

Objectives

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. 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.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. Overall survival (OS).
II. Disease-specific survival (DSS).
III. Toxicity (grade 3+, exclusive of expected alopecia).
IV. Neurocognitive function (NCF).
V. Outcomes and patient reported outcomes (PRO) measurements.
VI. Adherence to protocol-specific target and normal tissue parameters.
VII. Concordance measurements of central versus parent-institution pathology.
VIII. Assessment of pHH3 mitotic index and its correlation with progression-free survival (PFS) and OS.
IX. Tissue and specimen collection for future translational research.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM I: Patients undergo observation.

ARM II: Patients undergo intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or proton beam radiation therapy 5 days a week over 6.5-7 weeks for a total of 33 fractions in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3, 6, and 12 months, every 6 months for year 2 and 3, then yearly for 10 years.

Eligibility

PRIOR TO STEP 1 REGISTRATION:
The patient must have a newly diagnosed unifocal intracranial meningioma, gross totally resected, and histologically confirmed as WHO grade II based upon pathology findings at the enrolling institution; WHO grade will be assigned according to WHO 2016 criteria
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 both by modified Simpson grade and by post-operative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings; the modified Simpson grade can be inferred from the operative report according to the table below (surgeon does not need to explicitly describe the Simpson grade for the purposes of eligibility)
Step 1 registration must occur within 180 days of the initial surgery; this will provide sufficient time for post-operative imaging confirmation of resection extent after resolution of operative changes; moreover, it will permit additional surgery if needed to achieve a GTR; within this 180 day interval, a second surgery is permitted in order to achieve GTR, but even with a second surgery, Step 1 registration must occur within 180 days of the initial resection
GTR must be confirmed on post-operative imaging following the most recent surgery; for protocol enrollment, the assessment of GTR will be made at each site; however, submission of both pre-operative and post-operative MRIs is required for patients; if a second surgery is performed, submission of post-operative MRI is required and pre-operative MRI is required only if obtained; all sequences obtained in the pre- and post-operative MR imaging are to be submitted to National Radiology Group (NRG) Oncology for study registration; the post-operative MRI must be completed within sufficient time to permit step 1 registration within 180 days of the initial resection; these same conditions apply in the setting of a second surgical procedure, although if a second surgery is completed, step 1 registration must still occur with 180 days of initial surgery; computed tomography (CT) imaging is not required, but may be obtained if desired clinically, for instance to assess calcifications or hyperostosis
The patient or a legally authorized representative must provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry
NOTE: Central pathology review must occur between steps 1 and 2 of registration; once appropriate pathology specimens are received, central pathology review will occur within 10 business days, and must confirm WHO grade II meningioma before the patient can proceed to step 2 registration and randomization
PRIOR TO STEP 2 REGISTRATION:
Histologically confirmed diagnosis of WHO grade II meningioma confirmed by central pathology review prior to step 2 registration
Age >= 18
History/physical examination, including neurologic examination within 60 days prior to step 2 registration
Post-operative Zubrod performance status 0-1 within 60 days prior to step 2 registration
If the patient is a woman is of childbearing potential, a serum pregnancy test, obtained within 14 days prior to step 2 registration, must be negative, and, if randomized to receive radiation therapy, the woman must agree to use contraception
