About this study

Official title: MC240703 Neuro-Oncology Anywhere: Glioma Home-Based Sequential Therapy (GHoST) Protocol

This clinical trial tests how well a digital treatment platform using a mobile application works for the delivery of home-based sequential therapy in patients with glioma. Access to specialized neuro-oncology care in the United States for patients with glioma is critically deficient. Care at centers with neuro-oncology specialists is associated with improved survival outcomes, yet many patients have limited access due to distance, disease-related disability, or lack of financial resources. The application provides patients continuous access to their care team in the home setting. A digital treatment platform may increase clinical trial participation and accelerate development of novel therapeutics while addressing a great health disparity in patients with glioma.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the feasibility of the remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring platform glioma home-based sequential therapy (GHoST) protocol among patients with glioma undergoing systemic therapy.

II. Determine the efficacy, as measured by the 4-month progression free survival (PFS) rate, of propranolol and imipramine, when used in combination with bevacizumab for the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma. (Subprotocol 1: PRIME)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Evaluate compliance, adherence, and feasibility in terms of the adherence to systemic therapy monitored remotely.

II. Determine progression free survival (PFS) for each therapeutic evaluated for newly diagnosed or recurrent glioma, stratified by tumor type.

III. Determine objective response rate (ORR) for each therapeutic evaluated for newly diagnosed or recurrent glioma, stratified by tumor type.

IV. Assess the safety and tolerability of remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring among patients with glioma undergoing systemic therapy.

  1. Determine overall survival (OS) for each therapeutic evaluated for recurrent glioblastoma when used in combination with bevacizumab. (Subprotocol 1: PRIME) VI. Determine objective response rate (ORR) for each therapeutic evaluated for recurrent glioblastoma when used in combination with bevacizumab. (Subprotocol 1: PRIME) VII. Assess the safety and tolerability for each therapeutic evaluated for recurrent glioblastoma when used in combination with bevacizumab. (Subprotocol 1: PRIME)

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Assess the acceptance or satisfaction of patients with the remote monitoring in this trial and how these may differ between newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma.

II. Investigate PFS based on therapeutic sequence administered. III. Explore potential differences in compliance, adherence, and satisfaction measures and how they may correspond to health disparities and social determinants of health.

IV. Compare access to neuro-oncology care at Mayo Clinic among patients with low socioeconomic status assessed based on the Mayo Clinic Housing-Based Socioeconomic Status (HOUSES) Index during the two years following study activation compared to historical utilization data.

  1. Compare access to neuro-oncology care at Mayo Clinic among patients with increased distance from academic centers assessed by geospatial index during the two years following study activation compared to historical utilization data.

OUTLINE:

GHoST MASTER PROTOCOL: Patients receive access to the remote chemotherapy management and patient monitoring platform to watch educational videos, report when medication is taken or missed, and report any symptoms related to cancer or medication side effects on study. Patients also receive standard of care chemotherapy as assigned by their treating physician as part of the platform on study. Upon completion of standard of care chemotherapy, if there is no disease progression, patients transition to surveillance for up to 1 year. Patients who experience disease progression during treatment or surveillance may rejoin the platform and/or be assigned by their treating physician to a different chemotherapy agent as part of the platform. Patients also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) throughout the study.

SUBPROTOCOL 1 - PRIME: Patients with recurrent glioblastoma receiving bevacizumab on the GHoST Master Protocol as assigned by their treating physician are randomized to 1 of 2 groups.

GROUP A: Patients receive propranolol orally (PO) twice daily (BID) and standard of care (SOC) bevacizumab intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo MRI or CT throughout the study.

GROUP B: Patients receive imipramine PO once daily (QD) and SOC bevacizumab IV every 3 weeks of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 12 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo MRI or CT throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Feasibility - completion of study visits

    Feasibility will be assessed by the number of study visits completed vs. not. Will consider this to be feasible in this patient population if the true compliance rate is at least 60%. Compliance here is defined as completion of at least 4 disease assessment timepoints in the first 6 months on study (i.e. 26 ± 2 weeks). These assessment timepoints will include the baseline assessment and can include assessments after 2 cycles of therapy, after 4 cycles of therapy, after 6 cycles of therapy, dependent on the treatment-specific schedules.

    Measured: At baseline and the set of study-specific visits through 6 months (i.e., 26 weeks ± 2 weeks)

  2. 4-month progression-free survival (PFS) rate (Subprotocol 1)

    Defined as the number of patients who are alive and progression-free at least 4 months after beginning study therapy. A point estimate will be generated for 4-month PFS rate.

    Measured: Up to 4 months after beginning study therapy

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Acceptance of and satisfaction of patients with the remote monitoring

    Will be assessed with an electronic Assessment of Acceptance and Satisfaction survey sent to participants at study assessment timepoints. The satisfaction survey consists of a single question answered on a 5-point scale: very positive, somewhat positive, neutral, somewhat negative, very negative.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  2. Adherence to study therapeutics

    Will be assessed through remote monitoring application. Here, adherence is defined as taking at least 80% of the prescribed doses, for all therapies other than lomustine. For lomustine, adherence is defined as receiving all prescribed infusions.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  3. Feasibility of remote systemic therapy assessments

    Will be assessed through completion of visits as scheduled, where laboratory and imaging assessed for the visits are scheduled and completed prior to telehealth visits. Feasibility will be defined as having necessary pre-visit testing completed and delivered for clinician review prior to the visit as well as completion of the visit at the intended scheduled time for 60% of the visits.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  4. Progression free survival (PFS) for each therapeutic treatment diagnosed and recurrent glioma

    Will be assessed for each treatment evaluated. PFS is defined as the time from enrollment to disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.

    Measured: At 6 months

  5. Objective response rate

    Objective response rate for each therapeutic for newly diagnosed and recurrent glioma will be assessed.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  6. Incidence of adverse events

    Will be assessed by type along with grade and perceived attribution to study agent based on National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  7. Safety of the overall platform

    Will be assessed by acute care utilization days (defined as emergency department evaluations and inpatient days) for participants on the platform compared to historical clinical data.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  8. Overall survival (OS) from initiation of study treatment (Subprotocol 1)

    Defined as the time from initiation of study treatment and survival time from initial diagnosis.

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  9. Objective response rate (ORR) (Subprotocol 1)

    Defined as the time from initiation of study treatment and survival time from initial diagnosis. Will be assessed per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Criteria 2.0

    Measured: Up to 3 years

  10. Incidence of adverse events (Subprotocol 1)

    Will be assessed by type along with grade and perceived attribution to study agent based on NCI CTCAE version 5.

    Measured: Up to 3 years
