  • Additional anti-cancer treatment for GBM other than study drug and supportive measures (i.e. dexamethasone)
  • Inadequate organ and bone marrow function as evidenced by:
  • Hemoglobin <9.0 g/dL

About this study

Official title: Prospective Controlled Phase 2 Trial of Cabazitaxel in Patients With Temozolomide Refractory Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)- The C-GBM Study -

The proposed study is an open-label, single-arm, Phase- II trial to assess the efficacy of cabazitaxel in GBM WHO grade IV patients with a progression during or within 6 months after last temozolomide treatment (Figure 1).

Cabazitaxel will be given at a dose of 25mg/m² as 1h infusion every 3 weeks with standard concomitant medication (as outlined below):

Read more
  • On Day 1 of each cycle, patients will receive cabazitaxel at a dose of 25mg/m², administered by i.v. route in 1 hour.
  • Cycle length for cabazitaxel is 3 weeks (21 days).
  • New cycles of therapy may not begin until Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥1500/mm3, platelet count ≥75 000/mm3, and non-hematological toxicities (except alopecia) have recovered to baseline.
  • A maximum of 2 weeks (14 days) delay is allowed between 2 treatment cycles.
  • Patients should come off treatment if treatment delay is more than 2 weeks.

At least 30 minutes prior to each administration of cabazitaxel, patients will receive i.v. premedication including:

  • An antihistamine (dexchlorpheniramine 5mg, diphenhydramine 25mg, or equivalent). In case of i.v. antihistamine other than promethazine is not being available, local practice should be followed.
  • Corticosteroid (dexamethasone 8mg or equivalent)
  • H2 antagonist (ranitidine or equivalent).
  • Antiemetic prophylaxis is recommended and can be given orally or intravenously if necessary.
  • Primary prophylaxis with Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) should be given on day 4 of each treatment cycle as per ASCO and ESMO guidelines.

What is being measured

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

  1. Response including SD, PR or CR determined by MRI (modified RANO criteria)

    • Response after 12 weeks

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall and progression-free survival

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Safety and tolerability

    • Rates of deaths within 12 weeks
    • Hematological and non hematological toxicity grade ≥ 2 according to CTCAE V4.0

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Pharmacokinetics data concerning drug interactions (i.e. CYP3A induction)

    Pharmacokinetics of cabazitaxel in patients with and without concomitant anticonvulsive medication with respect to induction of CYP3A

    Measured: 3 years

  4. Quality of life and neurocognitive functioning

    Assessment of quality of life, determined by assessment with EORTC QLQ questionnaires (C30 and BN20), and neurocognitive functioning, determined by repeated standardized measurements using MMSE

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Cabazitaxel in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) WHO Grade IV, run by University of Ulm at 3 sites in Germany.

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 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 26 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. 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?

Response including SD, PR or CR determined by MRI (modified RANO criteria) (time frame: 1 year). 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 26 Oct 2017.
