  • An interval of at least 4 weeks (to registration) between prior surgical resection or one week from stereotactic biopsy.
  • Age ≥18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of CM93 in participants <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will may be eligible for future pediatric trials.
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60 (Appendix A).
  • Participants must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below:
  • absolute neutrophil count ≥1,500/mcL
  • hemoglobin ≥ 9g/dL

  • 7. Participants who received radiation therapy within 12 weeks prior to registration, unless there is surgical confirmation of recurrent disease or evidence of new enhancing recurrent disease outside of the prior radiotherapy treatment field.
  • 8. Participants with major surgery within the last 28 days prior to registration.
  • 9. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to CM93.
  • 10. Participants receiving any medications or substances that are strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 (e.g., clarithromycin, azole antifungals, protease inhibitors, nefazadone, grapefruit juice) or those metabolized by CYP 3A4/3A5 are ineligible. Caution is advised for participants taking dexamethasone as well as strong inducer(s) of its metabolism. Because the lists of these agents are constantly changing, it is important to regularly consult a frequently-updated medical reference.

  • 16. Evidence of Grade ≥ 2 intracranial hemorrhage.
  • 17. Participants with any severe, acute, or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory abnormality that may increase the risk associated with study participation or study drug administration, may interfere with the informed consent process and/or with compliance with the requirements of the study, or may interfere with the interpretation of study results and, in the Investigator's opinion, would make the subject inappropriate for entry into this study.
  • 18. Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness, including active or clinically unstable bacterial, viral or fungal infection requiring systemic therapy.
  • 19. Pregnant women are excluded from this study; there are no reproductive toxicity data at the stage of development in animals. CM93 may have potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with CM93, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with CM93.
  • 20. Previous malignancy, except for non-squamous cell cancer of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the uterine or cervix, unless the natural history or treatment of the tumor does not interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen.
  • 21. Participants with difficulty swallowing/unable to swallow pills; malabsorption syndrome; refractory nausea and vomiting, chronic gastrointestinal (GI) disease or previous significant bowel resection with clinically significant sequelae that would preclude adequate absorption of study drug.

About this study

Official title: Phase 1 Study Evaluating the Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Clinical Effects of CM93 in Subjects With Recurrent Glioblastoma (rGBM) Characterized by Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutation or Amplification

This is a first-in-human study of CM93, an oral investigational drug, in adults with Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-modified glioblastoma. The study is designed in three parts consisting of a dose-escalation phase, a dose-expansion phase and a window-of-opportunity surgical trial. The trial objectives are to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and clinical effects of CM93 in this patient population.

Read the detailed description

CM93 is a third-generation, covalent/irreversible, brain penetrant small molecule Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor. It is not a substrate of p-glycoprotein or breast cancer resistance protein (bcrp) and is a mild inhibitor of bcrp. It is a potent inhibitor of EGFR mutations but also has activity against wild type EGFR.

This first-in-human phase I trial will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CM93 and determine the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for further evaluation using a 3+3 design (Part 1). Once the RP2D has been determined 12 additional patients will be treated in a dose expansion cohort to confirm the safety and tolerability of the selected dose (Part 2). Subsequent to the phase I trial a window-of-opportunity surgical trial will initiate. Tumor from both contrast enhancing and non-contrast enhancing areas of patients who received CM93 before surgery will be resected and evaluated to determine if therapeutic concentrations of the drug are achieved. Pharmacodynamic studies will be conducted in tumor tissue from patients who received CM93 before surgery and the patients who did not receive drug before surgery to determine if there is adequate inhibition of EGFR. After recovery from surgery all 30 patients will receive CM93 until progression, development of unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent and preliminary evidence of activity will be obtained.

What is being measured

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

  1. Dose-limiting toxicities

    Record and compare safety and tolerability, adverse events, changes in laboratory parameters and electrocardiogram measure of patients to baseline measurements. DLTs (dose-limiting toxicities) are defined as a clinically significant adverse event (AE) or laboratory abnormality unrelated to disease progression that meet certain criteria.

    Measured: 28 days

  2. Maximum tolerated dose

    The MTD (maximum tolerated dose) is defined as the highest dose level at which ≤1 of 6 subjects experience a DLT during Cycle 1 (the first 28 days of intervention).

    Measured: 28 days

  3. Recommended phase 2 dose

    Determined by the DSMC (Data Safety Monitoring Committee) after review of safety data, the RP2D (recommended phase 2 dose) will be the MTD unless:

    • Significant clinical anti-tumor effect (complete response, partial response, or stable disease for ≥2 months) is seen below the MTD, in which case a clinically active dose level may be selected as an RP2D; or
    • Toxicities observed beyond Cycle 1 require reducing the RP2D(s) below the MTD level; or
    • MTD is not achieved, in which case the highest dose level administered may become an RP2D.

    Measured: 28 days

  4. Concentration of CM93 in non-enhancing areas of tumor

    In part 3 of the study, tissue samples from non-enhancing areas of the tumor will be analyzed for CM93 and concentration will be reported for the CM93-treated group.

    Measured: 7 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Half-life of CM93

    Calculate half-life from the plasma bioanalysis of CM93 and its active metabolite at different time points and doses.

    Measured: 22 days

  2. Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

    Calculate Cmax from the plasma bio analysis of CM93 and its active metabolite.

    Measured: 22 days

  3. Time to Maximum plasma concentration (Tmax)

    Calculate Tmax from the plasma bio analysis of CM93 and its active metabolite.

    Measured: 22 days

  4. Area under the curve (AUC)

    Calculate AUC from the plasma bio analysis of CM93 and its active metabolite.

    Measured: 22 days

  5. EGFR level in tumor specimens

    In part 3 of the study, average pEGFR (phosphorylated epidermal growth factor receptor) levels in the tumor specimens of CM93-treated surgical patients will be compared to the levels in tumor specimens from untreated patients and difference between the two groups noted.

    Measured: 7 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CM93 in people with Glioblastoma, run by Crimson Biopharm Inc..

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 27 inclusion and 23 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Aug 2024. 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?

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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact NeuroOnc Coordinator (617-632-2166, NeuroOnc_Coor@dfci.harvard.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Dose-limiting toxicities (time frame: 28 days). The study lists 4 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 21 Aug 2024.
