About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of Bevacizumab Plus Erlotinib for Patients With Recurrent Malignant Glioma

Primary objective:

To estimate 6-month progression free survival probability of pts w recurrent malignant gliomas treated w erlotinib + bevacizumab.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate safety \& tolerability of erlotinib + bevacizumab among pts w recurrent malignant gliomas To evaluate radiographic response of pts w recurrent malignant gliomas treated w erlotinib + bevacizumab To evaluate pharmacokinetics of erlotinib when administered to pts w recurrent malignant gliomas; \& to examine relationship of clinical response to Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR) expression, amplification, \& v-III mutation, phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression, vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) \& phosphorylated protein kinase B (PKB/Akt) in archival tumor samples

Read the detailed description

Exploratory, Phase II study designed to assess anti-tumor activity of combinatorial regimen consisting of erlotinib + bevacizumab among pts w recurrent malignant glioma. Signal transduction inhibitors, such as erlotinib, as well as anti-angiogenic agents, such as bevacizumab, are expected to exert a cytostatic anti-tumor effect. Primary endpoint of study is probability of progression-free survival at 6 months. An important secondary objective is to further assess the safety of erlotinib + bevacizumab for pts w RMG. Pharmacokinetic studies included in protocol will evaluate impact of enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAEDs) on metabolism of erlotinib.

If study demonstrates that combo regimen of erlotinib + bevacizumab is associated w encouraging anti-tumor activity among pts w recurrent malignant glioma (RMG), further assessment of regimen in additional ph II \& possibly ph III studies, will be considered.

What participants receive

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

  • Bevacizumab and ErlotinibDrug

    Also called Bevacizumab, Erlotitnib, Avastin, Tarceva

    Bevacizumab administered intravenously at dose 10 mg/kg every 2 wks. Erlotinib administered orally, continuously once daily in fasting state for each 42-day cycle. Dose of erlotinib is based on prior erlotinib monotherapy trial in RMG. It will be 200 mg/day for pts not on cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4)-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs \& 500 mg/day for pts on EIAEDs.

    It is possible that taking erlotinib w regular medications or supplements may change how erlotinib, subject's regular medications, or subject's regular supplements work. Treatment will continue until either evidence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, non-compliance w study follow-up, or withdrawal of consent.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6 Month Progression-free Survival

    The proportion of patients alive and progression free at 6 months

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Radiographic Response

    The number of participants with complete or partial response as determined by the following criteria:

    • Complete response (CR): Disappearance of all enhancing tumor on contrast enhanced MRI scan. Patient must be off steroids or only on adrenal maintenance doses.
    • Partial response (PR): Greater than or equal to a 50% reduction in the size (products of the largest perpendicular diameters) for all enhancing lesions. No new lesions may arise. Steroids must be stable or decreasing dose.

    Measured: Patients were followed for the duration of the study, with a median follow-up of 103 weeks for grade III participants and 141.8 weeks for grade IV participants

  2. Pharmacokinetics of Erlotinib: Cmax

    Day 1 and Day 42 of Dosing Erlotinib in Cycle 1: Maximum Concentration (ng/mL) (Cmax) for subjects receiving 500 mg (Enzyme-Inducing Anti-epileptic Drug, EIAED) or 200 mg (non-EIAED) Erlotinib

    Measured: Day 1 and 42 of Dosing Erlotinib

  3. Pharmacokinetics of Erlotinib: AUC

    Day 1 and Day 42 of Dosing Erlotinib in Cycle 1: Area under the Curve (ng/mL.h) (AUC) for subjects receiving 500 mg (Enzyme-Inducing Anti-epileptic Drug, EIAED) or 200 mg (non-EIAED) Erlotinib

    Measured: Day 1 and 42 of Dosing Erlotinib

  4. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - Epidermal Growth Factor (EGFR)

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry for biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - EGFR vIII

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry for biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - Phosphatase and Tensin Homologue (PTEN)

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry for biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  7. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - Phosphorylated Protein Kinase B (pAKT)

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry for biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  8. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - Phosphorylated Mitogen-activated Protein Kinase (pMAPK)

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry for biomarkers.

    Measured: 1 year

  9. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for biomarkers. The IHC expression score is the product of the percentage of cancer cells positive for VEGF multiplied by the overall intensity of staining, ranging from 0 to 3+. This produces a score ranging from 0 to 300.

    Measured: 1 year

  10. Association of Biomarkers and One-year Survival - VEGFR-2

    Archival tumor samples from grade IV participants were examined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for biomarkers. The IHC score is the product of the percentage of cancer cells positive for VEGFR-2 multiplied by the overall intensity of staining, ranging from 0 to 3+. This produces a score ranging from 0 to 300.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Bevacizumab and Erlotinib in people with Glioblastoma and Gliosarcoma, 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 9 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 13 May 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 May 2013). 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?

6 Month Progression-free Survival (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00671970, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 May 2013.
