Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

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

Who may be able to join

  • Patients have recurrent/progressive Malignant Glioma (MG). Stereotactic biopsy at time of recurrence/progression is only required if radiation-induced necrosis is suspected
  • Patients have MG resistant to Temodar, which is defined as > or = to 25 percent increase in tumor growth on contrast enhanced MRI/CT within 8 weeks of last dose of Temodar
  • Age > or = to 18 years
  • Evidence of measurable enhancing disease on contrast-enhanced MRI, unless medically contraindicated.
  • Interval of at least 2 weeks between prior surgical resection/ 4 weeks between prior radiotherapy/chemotherapy, and enrollment on protocol unless there is unequivocal evidence of tumor progression. However, patients treated with chemotherapy agents such as VP-16 who would normally be retreated after shorter intervals may be treated at usual starting time even if less than 4 weeks from last prior dose of chemotherapy
  • Karnofsky performance score > or = to 60 percent
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Hematocrit > 29 percent, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500 cells/microliter, platelets > 100,000 cells/microliter
  • Serum creatinine <1.5 mg/dl, Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) <25 mg/dl, Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (SGOT) \& bilirubin <1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • For patients on corticosteroids, they must have been on stable dose for 1 week prior to entry, if clinically possible, and dose should not be escalated over entry dose level

About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Temodar Plus O6-Benzylguanine (O6-BG) (NSC 637037) in the Treatment of Patients With Temodar-Resistant Malignant Glioma

Objectives:

To define role of O6-Benzylguanine (BG) in restoring Temodar (temozolomide) sensitivity in patients with Temodar-resistant malignant glioma.

To further define toxicity of combo therapy using Temodar + BG.

Read the detailed description

2 separate strata accrued independently of each other: Stratum 1-patients with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). Stratum 2-patients with Anaplastic Glioma [anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO), anaplastic mixed (AA and AO)] .

BG at 120mg/m2 administered intravenously over 1 hour followed immediately by 48-hour infusion at 30mg/m2/24hrs. Temozolomide 472mg/m2 administered orally, in fasting state, within 60 minutes of end of the 1-hour administration of BG infusion. Treatment cycles may be repeated every 28 days following dose of Temodar from previous cycle.

Temodar has been well tolerated by both adults and children with most common toxicity being mild myelosuppression. Other, less likely, potential toxicities include nausea and vomiting, constipation, headache, alopecia, rash, burning sensation of skin, esophagitis, pain, diarrhea, lethargy, hepatotoxicity, anorexia, fatigue and hyperglycemia. Hypersensitivity reactions have not yet been noted with Temodar. As in the case with many anti-cancer drugs, Temodar may be carcinogenic. BG toxicities include agitation, lethargy, nausea, vomiting, rapid heart rate, elevated liver functions, \& leukemia; but, not with BG as single agent. Transient lymphopenia has been seen with BG as single agent.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Temodar and O6-Benzylguanine (BG)Drug

    Also called Temodar - Temozolomide, O6-Benzylguanine - O6-BG

    Objectives of study are to define role of BG in restoring Temodar sensitivity in patients with Temodar-resistant malignant glioma and to further define the toxicity of combination therapy using Temodar + BG. 2 separate strata accrued independently of each other: Stratum 1-patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). Stratum 2-patients with anaplastic glioma (AG).

    BG at 120mg/m2 administered intravenously over 1 hour followed immediately by 48-hour infusion at 30mg/m2/24 hours. Temodar 472mg/m2 administered orally, in fasting state, within 60 minutes of end of the 1-hour administration of BG infusion. Treatment cycles may be repeated every 28 days following dose of Temodar from previous cycle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Temodar and O6-Benzylguanine (BG) in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme and Anaplastic Glioma, run by Duke University 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 11 inclusion and 2 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 9 Jul 2014. 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 phase mean?

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Radiographic evidence of tumor response (time frame: 6 months). 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 9 Jul 2014.
