About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Investigator Initiated Study to Determine the Safety, Efficacy and CNS Penetration of TH-302 in Recurrent High Grade Astrocytoma Following Bevacizumab

The Primary Objectives are:

  • To determine the extent by which TH-302 is able to penetrate the blood brain barrier and affect tumor tissue
  • To assess the safety of single dose TH-302 in patients with high grade glioma undergoing surgery
  • To assess the safety of TH-302 in combination with bevacizumab for patients with high grade glioma
  • To determine the MTD and DLT(s) of TH-302 in combination with bevacizumab

The Secondary Objectives are:

To determine the progression-free survival with or without debulking craniotomy for patients treated with combination bevacizumab and TH-302 following recurrence on single agent bevacizumab

Read the detailed description

Single center, dose-escalation, prospective study with TH-302 single dose at 575 mg/m2 or placebo administered preoperatively, followed by postoperative combination therapy bevacizumab at 10mg/kg every 2 weeks and TH-302 at 240 - 670 mg/m2 every 2 weeks (4 week cycle) until disease progression. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to receive pre-operative dose of TH-302 (surgical subjects only). Subjects not receiving surgery will receive combination therapy of bevacizumab at 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks and TH-302 at 240-670 mg/m2 every 2 weeks (4 week cycle) starting from Cycle 1, Day 1 until disease progression.

This study will use a classic dose escalation design to determine the MTD of TH-302 when used in combination with bevacizumab. The dose of TH-302 will be escalated in cohorts of 3-6 subjects. The initial dose of TH-302 will be 240 mg/m2. A dose level minus 1 will be built into the study in the event that subjects experience excessive toxicity at Dose Level 1. Dose escalation will continue to 340 mg/m2 and 670 mg/m2.

What participants receive

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

  • TH-302 preoperativeDrug

    Also called Study drug

    TH-302 single dose at 575 mg/m2 administered preoperatively, followed by postoperative combination therapy bevacizumab at 10mg/kg every 2 weeks and TH-302 at 240 - 480 mg/m2 every 2 weeks (4 week cycle) until disease progression. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to receive pre-operative dose of TH-302.

  • PlaceboDrug

    Also called Study placebo

    Placebo administered preoperatively, followed by postoperative combination therapy bevacizumab at 10mg/kg every 2 weeks and TH-302 at 240 - 480 mg/m2 every 2 weeks (4 week cycle) until disease progression. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to receive pre-operative dose of TH-302.

  • TH-302 (escalating) with bevacizumab 10mg/kgDrug

    Also called Study drug escalating dose

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TH-302 preoperative and TH-302 (escalating) with bevacizumab 10mg/kg in people with HIGH GRADE GLIOMA, run by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio 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 18 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 24 Jul 2019. 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 24 Jul 2019). 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?

Time to Progression (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 24 Jul 2019.
