About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial of Oxaliplatin as Neoadjuvant Treatment in Adults With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of oxaliplatin in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as oxaliplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of oxaliplatin in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme who are receiving or not receiving anticonvulsants known to be metabolized by P450.

II. Determine the dose-limiting toxicity and safety profile of this drug in this patient population.

III. Assess the pharmacokinetics of this drug on this schedule and determine the effects of P450-inducing anticonvulsants on the pharmacokinetics in these patients.

IV. Determine the radiographic response rate in patients treated with this drug.

  1. Determine survival and drug toxicity in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study of oxaliplatin followed by a phase II study. Patients are stratified according to whether concurrent anticonvulsant drugs induce P450 (yes vs modest/no or no drugs).

Phase I: Patients receive oxaliplatin IV over 2 hours on day 1. Treatment repeats every 14 days for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of unacceptable toxicity or disease progression.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients (per stratum) receive escalating doses of oxaliplatin until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Phase II: Patients receive oxaliplatin as in phase I at the MTD determined in phase I.

Patients are followed at 1 month, every 2 months until disease progression, and then monthly thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 24 patients (12 per stratum) will be accrued for the phase I part of this study within 8-12 months. A total of 18-35 patients will be accrued for the phase II part of this study within 5-12 months.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the dose level at which 2 out of 6 or the dose level below that at which >= 2 of 3 or > 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 2.0 (Phase I)

    Measured: 14 days

  2. DLT is defined as grade 3 or 4 nonhematological toxicities or hematological toxicities as assessed by CTC version 2.0 (Phase I)

    Measured: 14 days

  3. Pharmacokinetics of oxaliplatin (Phase I)

    Measured: At baseline, at immediately post infusion, at 2, 4, 22, and 24 hours (of course 1)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Response rate (Phase II)

    Measured: Up to 7 years

  2. Duration of survival (Phase II)

    Estimated with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 7 years

  3. Frequency of toxicity as assessed by CTC version 2.0 (Phase II)

    The proportion of patients with serious or life threatening toxicities will be estimated along with 95% confidence intervals.

    Measured: Up to 7 years after completion of study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing oxaliplatin and pharmacological study in people with Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma and Adult Glioblastoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 40 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Administratively complete.). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) defined as the dose level at which 2 out of 6 or the dose level below that at which >= 2 of 3 or > 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) version 2.0 (Phase I) (time frame: 14 days). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Jan 2013.
