About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Studies of BAY 43-9006 (Sorafenib) in Combination With OSI-774 (Erlotinib), R115777 (Tipifarnib) or CCI-779 (Temsirolimus) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme or Gliosarcoma

This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib, tipifarnib, and temsirolimus when given together with sorafenib and to see how well they work in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma. Sorafenib, erlotinib, tipifarnib, and temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Sorafenib and tipifarnib may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sorafenib together with erlotinib, tipifarnib, or temsirolimus may kill more tumor cells.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Phase 1

  1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of tipifarnib, erlotinib hydrochloride, or temsirolimus in combination with a fixed dose of sorafenib in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma who are not taking enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

Phase 1 and 2

  1. Characterize the safety profile of the doublet combinations of tipifarnib-sorafenib, erlotinib hydrochloride-sorafenib, and temsirolimus-sorafenib in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma.
  2. Characterize the pharmacokinetics of these doublet combinations, evaluating single-agent pharmacokinetics of each agent and the combination pharmacokinetics to determine drug-drug interactions.

Phase 2

  1. Determine the efficacy of each of the doublet combinations, in terms of 6-month progression-free survival, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma.
  2. Determine the efficacy of each of the doublet combinations, in terms of 12-month survival and objective tumor response, in patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme or gliosarcoma.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

Phase 2

  1. Perform exploratory correlative laboratory studies by examining tissue markers of signal transduction pathways by immunohistochemical analysis using tissue blocks obtained prior to initiation of protocol therapy, either from the time of diagnosis or subsequent tumor resection.
  2. Determine the relationship between tumor and blood biomarkers and clinical outcome of patients treated with the combination of targeted agents.

OUTLINE:

This is a multicenter, phase I, dose-escalation study of tipifarnib, erlotinib hydrochloride, and temsirolimus followed by a phase II open-label study.

PHASE I:

Patients are sequentially assigned to 1 of 3 treatment groups.

GROUP 1: Patients receive oral sorafenib twice daily and oral erlotinib hydrochloride once daily on days 1-28.

GROUP 2: Patients receive sorafenib as in group 1. Patients also receive temsirolimus IV over 30 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, and 22.

GROUP 3: Patients receive sorafenib as in group 1. Patients also receive oral tipifarnib twice daily on days 1-21.

In all groups, treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

In each treatment group, cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of erlotinib hydrochloride (group 1), temsirolimus (group 2), or tipifarnib (group 3) sequentially until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined for each group. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity during the first course of therapy.

PHASE II:

Patients receive sorafenib as in phase I. Patients also receive erlotinib hydrochloride, temsirolimus, or tipifarnib as in phase I at the MTD determined in phase I.

Tissue that was collected during a prior surgery is examined for biomarkers by immunohistochemistry (in patients enrolled in the phase II portion of the study). Biomarkers examined include epidermal growth factor receptor, Receptor tyrosine-protein kinase (HER-2), Protein kinase B (AKT), S6 ribosomal protein, and Receptor-linked tyrosine kinases (Erk).

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing sorafenib tosylate, erlotinib hydrochloride and tipifarnib in people with Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma and Adult Glioblastoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 7 sites 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 57 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Jul 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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) of the Each Combination Agent Combined With a Fixed Dose of BAY 43-9006 Determined by Dose-limiting Toxicities (DLT) (Phase I) (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 15 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 2 Jul 2018.
