About this study

Official title: Pilot Trial of Intratumorally-Administered Topotecan Using Convection-Enhanced Delivery (CED) in Patients With Suspected Recurrent/Progressive World Health Organization (WHO) Grade III or IV (High Grade) Glioma Undergoing Stereotactic Biopsy (IND 117,240)

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with topotecan by an alternative method, direct delivery into brain tumors, is safe and well tolerated. The Cleveland Multiport Catheter is a new, investigational device that will be used to deliver topotecan into your brain tumor. A second purpose of this study is to determine whether the Cleveland Multiport Catheter can be used effectively and safely to deliver topotecan into your brain tumor.

This study will also determine the best dose of topotecan to deliver to your tumor with use of the Cleveland Multiport Catheter and will also examine how your tumor responds to treatment with topotecan.

Primary Objectives

  • To investigate by MR imaging the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan in enhancing or nonenhancing bulk tumor administered by convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in patients with recurrent/progressive WHO grade III or IV (high grade) glioma (HGG) who have failed standard therapy comprising surgical biopsy and/or resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
  • To investigate by MR imaging the influence of the rate and topotecan concentration, on the spatial and temporal distribution of topotecan administered by CED in patients with with recurrent/progressive HGG

Secondary Objectives

  • To investigate the extent to which backflow may be observed on MRI during CEDmediated delivery of topotecan
  • To assess the safety, tolerability and toxicity profile of topotecan administered by CED using different doses and infusion rates.
  • To observe evidence of activity of single-agent topotecan administered by CED to patients with recurrent/progressive HGG who have failed standard therapy comprising surgical biopsy and/or resection and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

What participants receive

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

  • Topotecan (<=8cc)Drug

    Also called Hycamtin

    In predominantly enhancing mass with a volume of 8 cc or less of topotecan administered

  • Topotecan (>8cc)Drug

    Also called Hycamtin

    In predominantly enhancing mass with a volume of > 8 cc of topotecan administered. Initial rate is 0.834ml/hour with an increase to 1.668 ml/hour at the second infusion

  • Cleveland Multiport CatheterDevice

Study groups in NCT03193463
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Predominantly enhancing mass with volume of 8 cc or lessExperimentalOnly 1 Cleveland Multiport Catheter (CMC) will be placed and CED will be performed intra-operatively only in a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipped Operating Room. Topotecan infusion will be performed over a 4-hour period, with the goal of complete tumor coverage. The initial rate will be 1.20 ml/hour and infusion will be monitored by intermittent MRI imaging. The rate may be adjusted upwards during the infusion, in the event of incomplete tumor coverage, or downwards, if new mass effect is apparent. Following completion of the 4-hour infusion, the CMC will be removed. The initial rate for each subsequent patient may be adjusted upwards in increments of up to 1.20 ml/hour based upon the tumor coverage and safety characteristics of the previously treated patients.
Receives: Drug: Topotecan (<=8cc); Device: Cleveland Multiport Catheter; Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Predominantly enhancing mass with volume of > 8 ccExperimental2 Cleveland Multiport Catheter (CMCs) will be placed and the total infusion rate of Topotecan per CMC to be used for the first 24 hours for the first patient will be 0.834 ml/hour (3.48 microliters/minute/microcatheter). The rate used for the second 24 hours of the infusion will be 1.668 ml/hour. If the first patient does not experience rate-limiting toxicity, then the patient #2's initial infusion rate will start at the highest tolerated rate for patient #1, and the second 24-hour rate for that patient will be increased by 0.834 ml/hour. Each subsequent patient will undergo rate escalation in a similar manner until we observe either: 1) complete coverage of the enhancing tumor by the infused Gadopentetic acid (Gd-DTPA), or 2) rate-limiting toxicity.
Receives: Drug: Topotecan (>8cc); Device: Cleveland Multiport Catheter; Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
Predominantly non-enhancing massExperimentalThe total infusion rate of Topotecan per Cleveland Multiport Catheter (CMC) to be used for the first 24 hours for the first patient will be 0.29 ml/hour. The rate used for the second 24 hours of the infusion will be 0.58 ml/hour. If the first patient does not experience rate-limiting toxicity, then the patient #2's initial infusion rate will start at the highest tolerated rate for patient #1, and the second 24-hour rate for that patient will be increased by 0.29 ml/hour. Each subsequent patient will undergo rate escalation in a similar manner until we observe either: 1) complete coverage of the non-enhancing tumor by the infused Gd-DTPA, or 2) rate-limiting toxicity.
Receives: Device: Cleveland Multiport Catheter; Diagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); Drug: Lower Does Topotecan

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing Topotecan (<=8cc), Topotecan (>8cc) and Cleveland Multiport Catheter in people with Glioma, run by Michael Vogelbaum, MD, PhD.

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 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Number of intra-operative catheter related complications (time frame: Up to 12 months). The study lists 9 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 1 Mar 2019.
