Trial summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Trial Of Temozolomide And Carboplatin In Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of temozolomide plus carboplatin in treating patients who have recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temozolomide and carboplatin in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme. II. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients. IV. Determine the potential of either a pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic-mediated drug interaction in patients treated with this regimen. V. Determine the objective response rate and stabilization rate in patients treated with this regimen at the MTD. VI. Determine the acute and long-term toxic effects of this regimen at the MTD in these patients. VII. Determine the time to tumor progression and survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to age (under 50 vs 50 and over), ECOG performance status (0 vs 1-2), and prior therapy with carmustine or lomustine (yes vs no). Patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and oral temozolomide on days 1-5. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for a total of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with stable or responsive disease may receive 6 additional courses of temozolomide. Cohorts of 1-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin and temozolomide until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Additional patients are treated at the MTD.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 3-30 patients will be accrued for phase I of this study. A total of 16-58 patients will be accrued for phase II of this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing carboplatin and temozolomide in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, run by Fox Chase Cancer Center.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jul 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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.

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 11 Jul 2013.
