About this study

Official title: Pilot Study on the Determination of Tumor Concentrations of Protein Kinase Inhibitors in Patients With Newly Diagnosed High-grade Glioma

The purpose of this study is to determine intratumoral concentration of kinase inhibitors upon 2 weeks of treatment in tumor tissue (in the brain) of patients with high-grade gliomas (HGG).

Read the detailed description

In clinical trials for HGG, multiple agents targeting various oncogenic signaling pathways that play an important role in the biology of HGG have been studied, but unfortunately only a small number of patients seem to benefit from these treatment strategies. Whether these disappointing results are due to a restricted drug delivery through the blood-brain barrier, or due to differential biological characteristics of these HGGs, remains unknown. To better understand these clinical observations and to find potential insight how to overcome them, we intend to measure tumor concentrations of PKIs after approximately two weeks treatment and to determine whether these tumor concentrations correlate with plasma- and CSF concentrations of PKIs. Subsequently, we intend to determine the (phospho)proteomic profiles and kinase inhibitory activity in tumor tissue from these HGG patients after approximately two weeks of treatment with a PKI.

What is being measured

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

  1. PKI and active metabolites concentrations in tumor tissue

    PKI concentrations and active metabolites in tumor tissue after approximately two weeks of PKI treatment will be determined.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Correlation of PKI and active metabolites concentrations in tumor.

    Venous blood sampling will be performed to determine plasma drug and active metabolites concentrations after approximately one and two weeks of PKI treatment and during surgery. CSF samples will be drawn during surgery. Plasma- and CSF drug concentrations will be correlated to tumor drug concentrations. Plasma samples for pharmacodynamics will be simultaneously drawn with the on- and after treatment hematology and chemistry analysis.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  2. Feasibility of determining the (phospho)proteomic profiles and kinase activity profiles in tumor tissue and CSF.

    Kinome wide and quantitative (phospho)proteomic profiles will be determined in tumor tissue of study patients and in tumor tissue of matched controled patients. We anticipate that these profiles will reveal information on the effect of treatment on kinase abundances, phosphopeptide levels and on phosphorylation sites. Differences in levels of phosphopeptides and fold-change of phosphorylation sites will be quantified. In an exploratory design, we will determine whether observed profile differences can be correlated to drug concentrations in tumor tissue. Kinase inhibition profiles will be measured according to standard methods as developed and modified in our laboratory.

    Measured: 2 weeks

  3. Significant difference of the (phospho)proteomic profiles and kinase activities of tumor tissue in study patients and control group.

    The (phospho)proteomic profiles and kinase activity profiles will be determined in tumor tissue of study patients and in tumor tissue of patients in a control group.

    Kinase inhibition profiles will be measured according to standard methods as developed and modified in our laboratory.

    Measured: 2 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Sunitinib, vandetanib and Erlotinib in people with Cancer and High-grade Glioma, run by Amsterdam UMC, location VUmc at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 10 inclusion and 16 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 8 Oct 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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.

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?

Contact M.E. Van Linde, MD (+31 (0)20 4444321, dm-onc@vumc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

PKI and active metabolites concentrations in tumor tissue (time frame: 2 weeks). 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 NCT02239952, 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 8 Oct 2020.
