About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Temsirolimus and Bevacizumab in Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme

This trial is an investigator initiated, open label phase II study, where patient with recurrent primary GBM will be considered for the study. Only patients with recurrence after Temozolomide and VEGF-directed therapy with Bevacizumab will be considered for the study. Patients will receive temsirolimus 25 mg IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 and bevacizumab 10 mg/kg IV over 30-90 minutes on day 8 and 22. Treatment repeats every 28 days for a maximum of 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. A safety analysis will be performed when the first 10 patients have received minimum 4 cycles (8 weeks). The study will then be stopped:

If DLT is observed in > 2/10 patients, Occurrence of any serious adverse events not described in the SPC of each agents, If partial remission is not observed in at least 1/10 patients

Being tested
Temsirolimus, Bevacizumab
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • TemsirolimusDrug

    25 mg weekly IV

  • BevacizumabDrug

    10 mg/kg every 2 weeks

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free survival in months

    Measured: From start of treatment to death or progression

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Adverse events

    Measured: every 2 weeks

  2. Objective tumor response rate

    Measured: every 8 weeks

  3. Pre- vs post-treatment measurements of biomarkers and vascular system/immune system parameters

    Measured: weekly for the first 4 weeks, then every 8 weeks

  4. Correlation with biomarkers

    Measured: at the end of the study

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Temsirolimus and Bevacizumab in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet at 1 site in Denmark.

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 26 inclusion and 31 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 2 Jun 2010. 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 Denmark. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Progression-free survival in months (time frame: From start of treatment to death or progression). 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 2 Jun 2010.
