  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Histologically proven intracranial Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) with diagnosis established by biopsy or resection within 5 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • Cranial MRI or contrast CT performed 14 days prior to study entry. Subjects without measurable or assessable disease are eligible.
  • Plan to begin partial brain radiotherapy within 24-72 hours after beginning AQ4N, and within 35 days (5 weeks) of the surgery, or if surgery cannot be performed, the biopsy that confirms GBM diagnosis. Radiation therapy must be given by external beam to a partial brian field in daily fractions of 2.0 Gy, to a planned total dose to the tumor of 60.0 Gy over 6 weeks.
  • Age equal to or greater than 18 years and life expectancy > 10 weeks.
  • Karnofsky performance status of > 60.
  • Adequate bone marrow, liver and renal functions (tests must be performed within 14 days prior to enrollment).

  • Negative serum or urine pregnancy test (females of childbearing potential only).
  • Willingness to use effective contraception (both males and females of child-bearing potential) throughout the study and for at least 2 months after study treatment.
  • Able and willing to give informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Previous radiotherapy to the brain.
  • Previous cytotoxic drug therapy, non-cytotoxic drug therapy, or experimental drug therapy directed against the brain tumor. Subjects who received Gliadel wafers will be excluded.
  • Subjects previously treated with enzyme-induced antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) must have discontinued treatment with these agent(s) greater than or equal to 2 weeks prior to enrollment.
  • A history of any other primary malignancy that has not been treated with curative intent and that has not been in complete remission for at least 2 years (exempt from the two year limit are non-melanoma skin cancer and cervical carcinoma in-situ on biopsy or a squamous intraepithelial lesion on PAP smear).
  • Active infection.
  • Any significant medical illnesses or toxicities that in the investigator's opinion cannot be adequately controlled with appropriate therapy or would compromise the subjects' ability to tolerate this therapy. Subjects must not have any disease that will obscure toxicity or dangerously alter drug metabolism, e.g. congestive heart failure, moderate to severe liver and renal disease, other cancers.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • Cardiac ejection fraction (LVEF) by multiple gated acquisition scan (MUGA) less than the institutional lower limit of normal.
  • Prior investigational therapy within the past 28 days.
  • Prior AQ4N therapy.
  • Hypersensitivity to AQ4N or to any ingredients contained in the drug formulation.
  • Hypersensitivity to temozolomide or to any ingredients contained in the drug formulation and dacarbazine (DTIC).
  • Pregnant or lactating women.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing AQ4N, Temozolomide and Radiotherapy in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Novacea at 5 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 9 inclusion and 12 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Phase 1b: Evaluation of the safety and tolerability of AQ4N in combination with radiation therapy and temozolomide (TEMODAR®)for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Dose levels for the Phase 2a will be selected.. The study lists 2 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 30 May 2007.
