About this study

Official title: PHASE I-II TRIAL OF METRONOMIC TEMOZOLAMIDE WITH INTERMITTENT INTENSIFICATION AND IRINOTECAN IN PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT GLIOBLASTOMA

Indication:

Subjects with glioblastoma at first relapse after surgery, radiotherapy and first-line temozolomide (TMZ).

Objectives:

  1. Phase I endpoint:
  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CPT-11 administered on days 8 and 22 in combination with a fixed, continuous, and metronomic regimen of TMZ, given in 28-day cycles.
  1. Phase II endpoints:

Primary endpoint: Progression-free survival at 6 months. Secondary endpoints: Response rate, toxicity profile, overall survival.

Complementary studies:

To assess the effect of treatment on plasma concentration of thrombospondin-1 (TSP1), soluble VEGF receptor 1 (sVEGF-1) and VEGF-A, and their correlation with clinical outcome.

  • To assess the correlation between immunohistochemical expression of PTEN and MGMT proteins, and clinical outcomes.
Read the detailed description

Study Design: Open label, phase I - II trial. Phase I trial: TMZ will be administered in a fixed schedule as follows:

TMZ

  • 50 mg/m2/day divided in three daily doses (approx. 17 mg/m2/8 hours) on days 1-7, 9-21, and 23-28.
  • 100 mg/m2 in a morning single dose on days 8 and 22

CPT-11 starting dose:

.100 mg/m2 on days 8 and 22, administered 3 to 6 hours after TMZ.(Level 1).One cycle = 28 days. CPT-11 will be escalated in successive cohorts of 3 patients as follows: 115, 130, 145, 160 mg/m2 .

Three patients will be treated at dose level 1. If there is no DLT, 3 new patients will be treated at dose level 2, and so on. If 1 or 2 of the 3 patients initially recruited at each treatment level experience DLT, 3 additional patients will be included at the same level. If DLT is registered in less than 3 of the 6 patients treated at this level, 3 new patients will be included in the next dose level. If 3 or more of the 6 patients experience DLT, the phase I trial will be closed and the previous treatment level will be chosen for the phase II trial. If all 3 initial patients at one level experience DLT, the previous dose level will be used in the phase II trial.

If DLT is found at dose level 1, phase I trial will be re-started at level -2 (70 mg/m2 ) and -1 (85 mg/m2).

Definition of DLT:

  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 500/ μl > 7 days
  • Platelet count < 25000/ μl
  • A delay in starting a new cycle by > 7 days to allow recovery from toxicity (ANC ≥ 1500/ μl and platelet count ≥ 100000/ μl
  • Febrile Neutropenia
  • Non-haematological toxicity grade 3-4, except alopecia and nausea/vomiting or diarrhea without adequate prophylaxis or treatment.

Phase II trial: Patients will receive the treatment schedule at the dose level stated in the phase I study. Treatment will be maintained until progression or excessive toxicity.

Patient evaluation: A physical examination, blood count, and basic biochemistry assessment will be performed within 3 weeks before treatment and at each study visit. Tumor recurrence or progression has to be demonstrated by MRI scan performed within 3 weeks before the first treatment course and after every second course of chemotherapy. The assessment of tumor response will be based on criteria defined by Macdonald et al. Study visits will be performed on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of first and second treatment course, and on days 8 and 22 thereafter, if no significant toxicity has been observed.

Complementary studies: The immunohistochemical expression of PTEN and MGMT will be assessed in paraffin sections of tumor tissue of all patients.

Blood samples for enzyme immunoassay of TSP1, sVEGFR-1 and VEGF-A will be collected within 3 weeks before treatment, after course 1 and every 3 treatment courses thereafter.

What is being measured

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

  1. Efficacy of the treatment (Phase I)

    To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CPT-11 administered on days 8 and 22 in combination with a fixed, continuous and metronomic regimen of TMZ, given in 28-days cycles to use the Recommended Dose in phase II

    Measured: every patient should receive at least one cycle ( 28 days)

  2. Progression-free survival (Phase II)

    The time the patient is not in progression, since the beginning of the treatment

    Measured: Since the initial of the treatment until the patient progression

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Assess the toxicity of the treatment

    Toxicity Profile (in phase II)

    Measured: the patients will be followed until disease progression

  2. Progression-free survival at 6 months

    Progression-free survival at 6 months (Phase I)

    Measured: 6 months since the pacient is included in the trial

  3. overall survival

    Measured: the patients will be followed until death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Temozolamide, irinotecan in people with Glioblastoma, run by Grupo Español de Investigación en Neurooncología.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 4 Mar 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

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?

Efficacy of the treatment (Phase I) (time frame: every patient should receive at least one cycle ( 28 days)). 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 4 Mar 2011.
