About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of STI571 (NSC 716051) in Patients With Recurrent Meningioma

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of imatinib mesylate in treating patients who have recurrent meningioma. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. Determine the efficacy of imatinib mesylate, in terms of 6-month progression-free survival, of patients with recurrent meningioma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES I. Determine the response rate and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

II. Evaluate the safety profile of this drug in these patients. III. Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients. IV. Develop exploratory data concerning surrogate markers of of angiogenic activity in vivo using functional neuro-imaging studies and in vitro assays of serum angiogenic peptides of this drug in these patients.

  1. Develop exploratory data concerning evidence of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) inhibition in tumor specimens taken from patients undergoing surgery VI. Develop exploratory data correlating molecular abnormalities in the tumor with response in patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to concurrent use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (yes vs no), histology (benign vs atypical or malignant), neurofibromatosis positivity (yes vs no), and preoperative candidacy (yes vs no).

Patients receive oral imatinib mesylate once or twice daily. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 60 patients (30 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 8-12 months.

What is being measured

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

  1. 6 Months - Progression-free Survival According to Response Evaluation Using Macdonald Criteria

    The Macdonald criteria, roughly similarly to other systems, divides response into 4 types of response based on imaging (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) and clinical features

    1: complete response; 2: partial response; 3:stable disease; 4:progression

    Complete response imaging features: disappearance of all enhancing disease (measurable and non-measurable) sustained for at least 4 weeks; no new lesions clinical features; no corticosteroids; clinically stable or improved

    Partial response imaging features: 50% or more decrease of all measurable enhancing lesions sustained for at least 4 weeks: no new lesions clinical features: stable or reduced corticosteroids; clinically stable or improved

    Stable disease imaging features: does not qualify for complete response, partial response or progression clinical features: clinically stable

    Progression imaging features: 25% of more increase in enhancing lesions; any new lesions clinical features: clinical deterioration

    Measured: At 6 months

  4. Concentration (Steady State) of Imatinib During Cycle One (Pharmacokinetics)

    Blood collected before and at 1,2,4 ad 24 hours after ingestion of imatinib on day 8 of cycle 1

    result is the measurement of the before dosing on day 8 (trough level) and the 24 hour dosing day 8

    Measured: pre dosing on day 8 and 24 hour dosing day 8 of Pre-dosing Day 9

  5. Determine Survival for Patients Treated With Imatinib Mesylate

    survival determined from start of treatment to date of death

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing imatinib mesylate, laboratory biomarker analysis and pharmacological study in people with Adult Grade I Meningioma and Adult Grade II Meningioma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 7 sites 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 52 inclusion and 0 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 15 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites 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 phase mean?

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 15 May 2017). 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?

6 Months - Progression-free Survival According to Response Evaluation Using Macdonald Criteria (time frame: At 6 months). 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 15 May 2017.
