About this study

Official title: Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind Phase II Study Comparing Cediranib (AZD2171) Plus Gefitinib (Iressa, ZD1839) With Cediranib Plus Placebo in Subjects With Recurrent/Progressive Glioblastoma (DORIC Trial)

RATIONALE: Cediranib Maleate and gefitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether cediranib maleate given together with gefitinib is more effective than cediranib maleate given alone in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving cediranib maleate together with gefitinib and to see how well it works compared with giving cediranib maleate together with a placebo in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To compare progression-free survival, overall survival, radiological response, and safety and tolerability of cediranib maleate in combination with gefitinib versus cediranib maleate in combination with a placebo in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma following standard front-line treatment.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cediranib maleate and gefitinib or cediranib maleate and a placebo once daily on days 1-42. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Blood and tissue samples are collected from some patients for genetic profiling and biomarker analysis.

Peer Reviewed and Funded or Endorsed by Cancer Research UK.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression-free Survival

    Progression free survival (PFS) defined as the time from the date of randomisation to the date of first progression or death due to any cause, whichever one comes first.

    The progression definition will be based on modified RANO criteria (Wen 2010), such that progression will be defined as the earliest time that at least one of the following occurs:

    1. Clinical deterioration
    2. Failure to return for evaluation as a result of death or deteriorating condition Or, by retrospective radiographic central review:
    3. Any new lesion
    4. Increase in ≥25% of sum of the products of perpendicular diameters of enhancing lesions compared with baseline scan, on stable or increasing doses of steroids (dexamethasone) compared to baseline (T1 post-contrast scan)
    5. Clear progression of non-measureable disease
    6. Significant increase in T2/FLAIR non-enhancing lesion - on stable or increasing steroids (dexamethasone) compared with baseline or best response not caused by co-morbid events.

    Measured: from the date of randomisation to the date of first progression or death due to any cause, until 6 months from the date the last patient finished trial treatment (the day after the date that the last trial drug was taken)

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Overall Survival

    Measured: from date of randomization to date of Death due to any cause.

  2. Radiographic Response Rate

    Measured: from baseline scan to six week and 12 week scans

  3. Progression-free Survival Rate at 6 Months

    Measured: from the date of randomisation to 6 months

  4. Steroid Use

    Measured: from randomization to first increase in dexamethasone dose

  5. Time to Deterioration of Neurological Status

    Measured: from date of randomization to the date of first neurological status worsening in comparison to baseline (first of 2 confirmatory reports at 2 consecutive visits, 6 weeks apart) as assessed by the clinician, or until date of death, whichever is first.

  6. Safety and Tolerability

    Measured: from date of randomisation to death

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing cediranib maleate and gefitinib in people with Glioblastoma, run by University College, London at 10 sites in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 31 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 10 sites in United Kingdom. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 27 Jan 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?

Progression-free Survival (time frame: from the date of randomisation to the date of first progression or death due to any cause, until 6 months from the date the last patient finished trial treatment (the day after the date that the last trial drug was taken)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01310855, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 May 2017.
