About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of silibinin in preventing recurrence in the brain after complete resection of a brain metastasis (BM) from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or breast cancer (BC).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically confirmed BM from NSCLC or BC by local pathology

Single BM (maximum diameter of 3 cm) on MRI before surgery

Complete surgical resection (MRI-verified within 14 days prior randomization)

pSTAT3 score in reactive astrocytes of peritumoral tissue confirmed by local or central assessment

Disqualifiers

Absence of expression of STAT3 on the reactive astrocytes of brain metastases

Incomplete surgical resection and/or diameters > 3 centimeters of brain metastasis before surgery

Brain metastases that previously received any type of radiation therapy

Progressive systemic disease requiring a change of the antineoplastic therapy

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

intracranial local recurrence

to investigate whether silibinin delay the intracranial local recurrence in comparison to placebo

Time frame

Time frame
up to 12-24 months
2

Intracranial progression-free survival

intracranial local plus distant recurrence

Time frame
up to 12-24 months
3

Overall progression-free survival

intracranial plus systemic PFS

Time frame
up to 12-24 months
4

Overall survival

to investigate whether silibinin improve the overall survival in comparison to placebo

Time frame
up to 24 months
