About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Study of Local Field Irradiation and Temozolomide Followed by Continuous Infusion Plerixafor as an Upfront Therapy for Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma GBM

This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of plerixafor after radiation therapy and temozolomide and to see how well it works in treating patients with newly diagnosed high grade glioma. Plerixafor may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving plerixafor after radiation therapy and temozolomide may be an effective treatment for high grade glioma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To assess the safety of using continuous infusion Plerixafor subsequent to irradiation in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

II. To assess the efficacy of Plerixafor as measured by progression free survival at 6 months (PFS6) from the start of irradiation.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of plerixafor followed by a phase II study.

Within 4 weeks of surgery, patients undergo radiation therapy and receive temozolomide orally (PO) over 42 days. Beginning 8 days prior to completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients receive plerixafor intravenously (IV) continuously for 2-4 weeks. Patients also receive temozolomide PO 5 days a month beginning 35 days after completion of radiation therapy.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 5 years.

Being tested

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting Toxicity

    Dose Limiting Toxicity is defined as defined as any hematologic or on-hematologic adverse events grade 3 or higher using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 with a suspected causal relationship to Plerixafor (including electrocardiogram changes indicative of ischemia, ventricular tachycardia)

    Measured: Up to 30 days post plerixafor

  2. Participants Alive and Without Disease Progression At 6 Months After the Start of the Irradiation

    Progression free survival based on the Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria, using both clinical examinations and MRIs with and without contrast summarized with Kaplan Meier estimates.

    Measured: 6 months from start of irradiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing radiation therapy, temozolomide and plerixafor in people with Adult Ependymoblastoma and Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma, run by Lawrence Recht 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 14 inclusion and 7 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 23 Oct 2018. 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 combined 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.

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 3 Jul 2018). 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?

Dose-limiting Toxicity (time frame: Up to 30 days post plerixafor). 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 23 Oct 2018.
