About this study

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

Primary objective:

To determine the 6-month progression free survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) treated with Erlotinib plus Sirolimus.

Secondary objectives:

To further define the safety and tolerability of Erlotinib plus Sirolimus when administered to patients with recurrent GBM; and to evaluate progression free survival, radiographic response and overall survival of patients with recurrent GBM treated with Erlotinib plus Sirolimus.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective of this study will be to determine the 6-month progression free survival of patients with recurrent GBM treated with Erlotinib plus Sirolimus.

This is an exploratory, single-arm, phase II study designed to assess the anti-tumor activity of a combinatorial regimen consisting of Erlotinib plus Sirolimus among patients with recurrent GBM. The combinatorial regimen of Erlotinib plus Sirolimus is rationally designed to simultaneously inhibit upstream (EGFR) and downstream (mTOR) mediators of Phosphatidylinositide 3-kinase/Protein Kinase B (PI3/AKT) signaling. In a recently completed phase I study, we determined that an EGFR inhibitor (Gefitinib) can be safely combined with Sirolimus at dose levels that are routinely used in the monotherapy setting. Therefore, the primary endpoint of this study is the probability of progression-free survival at 6 months among recurrent GBM patients treated with standard doses of Erlotinib plus Sirolimus. An important secondary objective is to further assess the safety of Erlotinib and Sirolimus for patients with recurrent GBM.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6-month Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Percentage of participants surviving six months from the start of study treatment without progression of disease. PFS was defined as the time from the date of study treatment initiation to the date of the first documented progression according to the Macdonald criteria, or death due to any cause. Progression based on Macdonald criteria is defined as a ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions; any new lesion; or clinical deterioration.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time in weeks from the start of study treatment to the date of first progression according to Macdonald criteria, or to death due to any cause. Patients alive who had not progressed as of the last follow-up had PFS censored at the last follow-up date. Median PFS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve. Progression based on Macdonald criteria is defined as a ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions; any new lesion; or clinical deterioration.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Median Overall Survival (OS)

    Time in weeks from the start of study treatment to date of death due to any cause. Patients alive at last follow-up are censored as of that follow-up date. Median OS was estimated using a Kaplan-Meier curve.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Best Radiographic Response

    Best radiographic response per modified Macdonald criteria. Complete response: disappearance of all enhancing tumor, no new lesions, and no steroids or only maintenance doses. Partial response: ≥ 50% reduction in the products of the perpendicular diameters of all enhancing lesions, no new lesions, \& steroids must be at a stable/decreasing dose. Stable disease: does not qualify for complete or partial response or progression \& is stable clinically. Progression: ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions, any new lesion or clinical deterioration.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Number of Participants Experiencing a ≥ Grade 3, Treatment-related, Non-hematologic Toxicity.

    Number of participants experiencing a ≥ grade 3, treatment-related, non-hematologic toxicity.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Erlotinib + sirolimus 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 13 inclusion and 13 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 7 Aug 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 4 Apr 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 (PFS) (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 NCT00672243, 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 7 Aug 2013.
