About this study

Official title: Phase II Trial of EMD 121974 for Recurrent Glioblastoma: A Clinical Trial With Tissue Correlates of Response

Cilengitide may stop the growth of glioblastoma multiforme by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving cilengitide before and after surgery may be an effective treatment for glioblastoma multiforme. This phase II trial is studying how well cilengitide works in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the 6-month progression-free survival rate in operative patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme treated with cilengitide.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Determine the safety and toxicity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment groups for the preoperative treatment component.

Preoperative Treatment Group I: Patients receive high-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour on days -8, -4, and -1.

Preoperative Treatment Group II: Patients receive low-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour on days -8, -4, and -1.

Resection: All patients undergo tumor resection on day 0.

Postoperative Treatment: Beginning within 2 weeks after surgery, all patients receive high-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour twice weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 44 patients (22 per preoperative treatment group) will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
cilengitide, therapeutic conventional surgery, pharmacological study, laboratory biomarker analysis
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. 6m-Progression-free Survival

    progression within 6 months (26 weeks) of treatment

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Changes in avb3 Integrin Expression on Tumor Cells and Endothelial Cells

    Will be performed between the untreated matched control tumor tissue and the tissue obtained from the post-treatment tumors using either a Fisher's Exact test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on whether the assay provides a measurement or is yes/no.

    Measured: Baseline and time of surgery

  2. Changes in Vitronectin Expression

    Will be performed between the untreated matched control tumor tissue and the tissue obtained from the post-treatment tumors using either a Fisher's Exact test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on whether the assay provides a measurement or is yes/no.

    Measured: Baseline and time of surgery

  3. Changes in Tumor Cell Apoptosis

    Will be performed between the untreated matched control tumor tissue and the tissue obtained from the post-treatment tumors using either a Fisher's Exact test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on whether the assay provides a measurement or is yes/no.

    Measured: Baseline and time of surgery

  4. Changes in Tumor Cell Proliferation

    Will be performed between the untreated matched control tumor tissue and the tissue obtained from the post-treatment tumors using either a Fisher's Exact test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on whether the assay provides a measurement or is yes/no.

    Measured: Baseline and time of surgery

  5. Changes in Endothelial Cell Apoptosis

    Will be performed between the untreated matched control tumor tissue and the tissue obtained from the post-treatment tumors using either a Fisher's Exact test or the Wilcoxon rank sum test depending on whether the assay provides a measurement or is yes/no.

    Measured: Baseline and up to 4 years

  6. Plasma Concentration of EMD 121974

    24 hour post dose concentration plasma, at time of resection

    Measured: 24 hour post concentration

  7. Tumor Tissue Concentrations

    a section of tumor of approximately 500mg will be snap frozen (immediately prepared and frozen) once removed from brain for analysis of the drug concentration in contrast -enhancing tumor.

    Measured: at time of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cilengitide, therapeutic conventional surgery and pharmacological study in people with Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma and Adult Glioblastoma, run by National Cancer Institute (NCI) at 1 site 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 41 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2017. 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 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 14 Jun 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?

6m-Progression-free Survival (time frame: 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 14 Jun 2017.
