About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of TKI258 (Dovitinib) in Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Who Have Progressed With or Without Anti-Angiogenic Therapy (Including Anti-VEGF Therapy)

This phase II trial studies how well dovitinib works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma. Dovitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients: To determine 6 month progression-free survival (PFS6) in anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy or bevacizumab) naive patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) in patients treated with dovitinib

Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients: To estimate time to progression in patients with recurrent or progressive Glioblastoma who have progressed on anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To evaluate the side effect profile of dovitinib in both patient populations.
  2. To evaluate the efficacy of dovitinib as measured by objective response rate (ORR) in both patient populations.
  3. To estimate time to percentage of patients free from progression at 6 months (PFS-6)in patients with recurrent or progressive Glioblastoma who have progressed on antiangiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy). (Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients)
  4. To estimate time to progression in anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy or bevacizumab) naiVe patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) in patients treated with dovitinib. (Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients)
  5. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) in both patient populations.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

To explore association between clinical outcome and potential biomarkers that may include microparticles, PlGF, PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, SDF-1a, thrombospondin-1, Ang1, and Il-6, IL-8 and FGF.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dovitinib orally (PO) 5 days a week. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Arm 1: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Number of anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy or bevacizumab) naive patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). The progression- free survival (PFS) at 6 months is defined as the time from randomization to objective tumor progression or death. So patients who have CR, PR or SD at 6 months will constitute PFS-6. Progression is defined using the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Criteria where CR = Total disappearance of lesions, PR = >50% reduction in lesions and SD = <25% reduction in lesions

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Arm 2: Determine Median Time to Progression

    Anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy or bevacizumab) patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Time to tumor progression (TTP), is defined as the time from randomization to time of progressive disease. So it is ongoing and will be assessed every 8 weeks …8, 16, 24, 32 …week. Progression is defined as >25% increase in size of lesions or evidence of new lesions

    Measured: From randomization to time of progression every 8 weeks (2 cycles of treatment) up to 32 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Toxicity Assessed Using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0

    Number of adverse events in patients in both populations (grade 1-5). Grade 1 are defined as mild events characterized as asymptomatic or mild symptoms; clinical or diagnostic observations only; no intervention indicated. Grade 2 are moderate events with minimal, local or non invasive interventions indicated. Grade 3 are severe or medically significant events but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization indicated. Grade 4 are life-threatening consequences with urgent intervention indicated. Grade 5 are deaths related to events

    Measured: Assessed until 30 days after treatment up to 32 weeks

  2. Objective Response Rate Using Modified Revised Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) Criteria

    Number of patients (both populations) with a complete response (CR-no measurable disease), partial response (PR >50% reduction in measurable disease), minor response (MR >25% reduction of measurable disease), stable disease (SD <25% reduction) and progressive disease (PD >25% measurable disease and new lesions).

    Measured: Up to 30 days after treatment

  3. Median Progression Free Survival

    The progression- free survival (PFS) at 6 months is defined as the time from randomization to objective tumor progression or death. So patients who have CR, PR or SD at 6 months will constitute PFS-6

    Measured: 6 months

  4. Overall Survival

    The Kaplan-Meier method will be used. Overall survival is defined as the time from randomization to death.

    Measured: to death, approximately 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing dovitinib and laboratory biomarker analysis in people with Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma and Adult Glioblastoma, run by Manmeet Ahluwalia, MD 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 16 inclusion and 18 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 12 Dec 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 8 Aug 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?

Arm 1: Progression Free Survival (PFS) (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 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 12 Dec 2017.
