Trial summary

There are three arms to this study (A, B and C) The purpose of this research study during Arm A is to see how much of PF-00299804 gets into the brain tumor. For many brain tumors, one reason that chemotherapy drugs might not be effective is that the drug may not be able to get into the brain tumor and kill the cancer… Read more about this study

  • Prior to enrollment, there must be an interval of at least 2 weeks between prior surgical resection (1 week for intracranial biopsy) and adequate wound healing.
  • Interval of at least 12 weeks from prior radiotherapy unless there is either: a) histopathologic confirmation of recurrent tumor, or b) new enhancement on MRI outside of XRT treatment field.

  • Patients must not have received prior Gliadel wafers

About this study

Official title: An Open-Label, Phase 2 Trial of Orally Administered PF-00299804 in Adult Patients With Relapsed/Recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM)

There are three arms to this study (A, B and C) The purpose of this research study during Arm A is to see how much of PF-00299804 gets into the brain tumor. For many brain tumors, one reason that chemotherapy drugs might not be effective is that the drug may not be able to get into the brain tumor and kill the cancer cells. We will determine how much PF-00299804 gets into the brain tumor by obtaining a sample of the tumor from the surgery that the participant already has scheduled. The purpose of this research study during Arm B and C, is to determine how well PF-00299804 works in killing cancer cells. PF-00299804 works by binding to specific proteins found on the surface of some cancer cells that promote a growth signal. Blocking this signal from reaching its target on the cancer cells may slow or stop the cancer from growing.

Read the detailed description

ARM A:

  • Each treatment cycle lasts four weeks (28 days). There are no breaks from taking PF-00299804 between treatment cycles. Participants will take PF-00299804 once a day for a total of 7 to 9 days before surgery. They will then stop taking PF-00299804 until they have recovered from surgery.
  • Once they have recovered from surgery, they will continue to take PF-00299804 once a day until their disease worsens, they experience side effects or they decide to stop study treatment.
  • The following tests and procedures will be performed at the time intervals specified: Research blood tests (Day 1 of study drug administration, day of surgery, day 1 of all cycles after surgery, day 14 of the first cycle after surgery); tissue samples (day of surgery); physical and neuro exams (day 1 of all cycles after surgery); skin exam (day 1 of all cycles after surgery and day 14 of the first cycle after surgery).
  • An assessment of the tumor by CT or MRI scan will be made within 24 hours after surgery. Another assessment by CT or MRI scan will be made at the end of cycle 2 and then at the end of every even numbered cycle thereafter.

ARM B \& C:

  • Each treatment cycle lasts four weeks (28 days). There are no breaks from taking PF-00299804 between treatment cycles. Participants will take PF-00299804 orally once a day until their disease worsens, they experience any side effect, or if they decide to stop study treatment.
  • Participants will come into the clinic on Day 1 and Day 14 of Cycle 1, and then on Day 1 of all subsequent cycles for some of the following tests and procedures: research blood tests, physical and neuro exams, skin exam, urine test and Patient Reported Outcomes questionnaire.
  • An assessment of the participants tumor by CT scan or MRI scans will be done at the end of Cycle 2, 4 and then every other cycle thereafter.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing PF-00299804 in people with Glioblastoma and GBM, run by Massachusetts General Hospital at 4 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 15 inclusion and 19 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 16 Aug 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 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?

Progression-Free Survival (time frame: 2 years). 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 16 Aug 2018.
