About this study

Official title: A Phase 1 Dose Finding Study of the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of XL184 Administered Orally in Combination With Temozolomide and Radiation Therapy in the First Line Treatment of Subjects With Glioblastoma

The purpose of this study is to determine the highest safe dose of XL184 administered orally in combination with temozolomide (TMZ, Temodar®) and radiation therapy (RT). XL184 is a new chemical entity that inhibits VEGFR2, MET, and RET, kinases implicated in tumor formation, growth and migration. Temozolomide (TMZ, Temodar®) is an orally administered alkylating agent. It is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GB) patients when given in combination with radiation therapy (RT) followed by maintenance treatment. First-line treatment for patients with GB consists of a concurrent phase (6-7 weeks in duration) during which TMZ is given with RT, followed by a rest phase (4 weeks in duration; to allow for recovery from delayed toxicity, if present), and a maintenance phase, during which patients receive TMZ for approximately twelve 28-day cycles. To determine the highest safe dose, subjects will receive different amounts of XL184 at different times according to the phase of TMZ and radiation therapy. The first group of subjects will receive the lowest dose of XL184. As long as no medically unacceptable side effects are noted, the dose will be increased for the next group. If the dose is not well-tolerated by the first group of subjects, the dose will be lowered for the next group.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1ExperimentalXL184 will be initiated at the start of the 6-7 week concurrent phase of RT (+TMZ; some subjects found to have specific gene activity in their tumor tissue may not receive TMZ), given as a single agent during the rest phase (4 weeks), if applicable, and continued subsequently in the maintenance phase.
Receives: Drug: XL184; Drug: temozolomide; Radiation: Radiation Therapy
Arm 2ExperimentalXL184 will be initiated during the maintenance phase with TMZ
Receives: Drug: XL184; Drug: temozolomide
MTD ExpansionExperimentalXL184 will be initiated at the start of the 6-7 week concurrent phase of RT (+TMZ; some subjects found to have specific gene activity in their tumor tissue may not receive TMZ), given as a single agent in the rest phase (4 weeks), if applicable, and continued subsequently in the maintenance phase. Subjects in this group will receive XL184 and TMZ at the maximally tolerated dose levels determined in Arms 1 and 2.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral administration of XL184 added to first-line treatment for subjects with newly diagnosed GB

    Measured: Assessed at every visit to the study clinic

  2. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral XL184 when added to the concurrent phase of treatment with TMZ and RT and when added to the maintenance phase of treatment with TMZ for subjects with newly diagnosed GB

    Measured: Assessed periodically as subjects are dose-escalted

  3. Determine the safety and tolerability of XL184 when administered in combination with first-line treatment throughout the concurrent, rest and maintenance phases in an expanded MTD cohort

    Measured: Assessed at each visit to the study center

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics of XL184 and TMZ when XL184 is administered in combination with TMZ, and of XL184 when it is administered alone, in subjects with newly diagnosed GB

    Measured: Assessed at 4 visits during the concurrent phase, 2 visits during the first maintenance phase cycle, and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter

  2. Evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of XL184 (with or without TMZ) and RT in the first line treatment of subjects with GB.

    Measured: Assessed at 4 visits during the concurrent phase, 2 visits during the first maintenance phase cycle, and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter

  3. Evaluate the preliminary efficacy of XL184 (with or without TMZ) and RT in the MTD expansion cohort in the first line treatment of subjects with GB

    Measured: Assessed at 10 weeks and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing XL184, temozolomide and Radiation Therapy in people with Glioblastoma and Giant Cell Glioblastoma, run by Exelixis at 8 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 11 inclusion and 9 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 22 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 8 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 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?

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?

Evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral administration of XL184 added to first-line treatment for subjects with newly diagnosed GB (time frame: Assessed at every visit to the study clinic). The study lists 3 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 22 Sep 2014.
