What participants receive

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

  • BKM120 + temozolomideDrug

    The investigational drug, BKM120, will be supplied as 10-mg and 50-mg hard gelatin capsules. BKM120 will be administered on a once daily dosing schedule at a dose of 40 mg, or 60 mg, or 80 mg, or 100 mg (p.o.), in combination with the approved dosing of temozolomide and SoC delivery of cranial irradiation for GBM. The patient will be dosed with BKM120 on a flat scale of mg/day and the dose of BKM120 will not be adjusted to body weight or body surface area. Patients should not eat for 2 hours after the administration of BKM120. Temozolomide in 5 mg, 20 mg, 100 mg, 140 mg, 180 mg or 250 mg capsules will be administered in combination with the investigational drug BKM120.

  • BKM120 +temozolomide with/without radiotherapyDrug

BKM120 will be administered on a continuous once daily dosing schedule at a dose of 40 mg, or 60 mg, or 80 mg, or 100 mg (p.o.), in combination with the approved dosing of temozolomide and SoC delivery of cranial irradiation for GBM. The patient will be dosed with BKM120 on a flat scale of mg/day and the dose of BKM120 will not be adjusted to body weight or body surface area.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Per DLT criteria as defined in protocol

    Measured: Concomitant phase (42 days), adjuvant phase cycle 1 (28-day cycle), adjuvant phase cycles 2 (28-day cycle)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. No of participants with Adverse events based on abnormal laboratory results, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings

    Per common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) criteria (version 4.0)

    Measured: Baseline, 30 days post the last BKM120 treatment

  2. Objective response rate (ORR)

    Antitumor activity will be assessed using the Neuro-Oncology Working Group updated response assessment criteria for high grade gliomas - per RANO criteria.

    Measured: Baseline, 18 months after first BKM120 treatment

  3. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Per patient survival follow up feedbacks

    Measured: at 12 months and at 18 months

  4. Overall survival (OS)

    Per patient survival follow up feedbacks

    Measured: Until death or consent withdrawal

  5. Plasma concentration-time profiles and basic pharmacokinetic parameters of BKM120 and temozolomide (Cmax, tmas, AUC, half-life)

    Standard bioanalytical-pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis on PK samples for BKM120 and temozolomide.

    Measured: baseline, Day 1, 8, 15, 28 in concomitant phase, Cycle 1 Day 1, 5 and Cycle 2 Day1, 5 at adjuvant phase (28-day per cycle)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BKM120 + temozolomide and BKM120 +temozolomide with/without radiotherapy in people with Glioblastoma, run by Novartis Pharmaceuticals at 8 sites in 4 countries.

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 8 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 9 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 sites in United States, Canada, Spain, Australia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) (time frame: Concomitant phase (42 days), adjuvant phase cycle 1 (28-day cycle), adjuvant phase cycles 2 (28-day cycle)). 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 NCT01473901, 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 9 Dec 2020.
