About this study

Official title: Phase I-II Study of Vinblastine in Combination With Nilotinib in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Refractory or Recurrent Low-Grade Glioma

Multicenter, open label, prospective study including successively a phase I trial and then a phase II trial Phase I : Open label, non-randomized, sequential dose escalation of both drugs, vinblastine and nilotinib.

Read the detailed description

Low grade gliomas (LGG) are the most frequent brain tumor type in children. They are often chemosensitive. However, more than 50% of these tumors will progress within the first 5 years after the start of the treatment and need a second-line therapy. In most cases, patients are still young and the risk of side effects from radiation therapy will call for another medical treatment. If a tumor does not respond to first-line chemotherapy, the prognosis worsens with 25% of deaths within the first 5 years for optic gliomas. Vinblastine (Velbe®) is an effective drug for low grade gliomas with both antiproliferative and antiangiogenic effects. An update of the Canadian phase II of weekly vinblastine (6 mg/m²/week) reported one complete response (CR), three partial responses (PR) and 9 minor responses (MR) in the first 31 patients. The 1-year progressionfree survival (PFS) rate was 57%. Tolerance of the treatment is fair allowing prolonged maintenance therapy as in Langerhans cell histiocytosis and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). These data encourage proceeding with further testing this approach in pediatric low-grade glioma.

Nilotinib is a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) known to affect c-Kit, DDR1 and the PDGF receptors alpha and beta. PDGF is a growth factor for normal and tumoral astrocytes and oligodendrocytes. In addition, PDGF receptors are expressed on pediatric low-grade glioma vessels. Tumor response to this class of TKI has been reported occasionally . When used as monotherapy, this class of TKI was well tolerated in children, including those with brain tumors. Taking advantage of their different antiangiogenic mechanisms, their limited and non-overlapping toxicities, vinblastine and nilotinib could play an interesting role in the treatment of pediatric low-grade glioma. Nilotinib via PDGFRA and c-kit interactions may also interfere with the stroma of the tumor which is a key factor for tumor growth as shown in the NF1 mouse model. Both drugs have also immunostimulating effects especially in dendritic cells, that will be explored during treatment in selected patients. Previous to the phase II assessing the efficacy of the combination compared to vinblastine as single agent, nilotinib and vinblastine have to be administered by escalating dosages in order to identify the recommended doses of each agent when given in combination. This phase I part of the trial is justified by a possible interaction of the two drugs that are substrates of cytochrome P450 CYP3A4. Initial/starting dose of nilotinib (115 mg/m² BID) will be 50% of the recommended dose when used as monotherapy in adults (800 mg/day: 400 mg BID =230 mg/m2 BID). Initial/starting dose of vinblastine will be 50% of the recommended dose when used as monotherapy or in association with other chemotherapeutic drugs (i.e. 3 mg/m2 once a week). This justifies obtaining pharmacokinetic data on both drugs when used in combination. A phase I trial evaluating nilotinib as single agent in pediatrics in hematological malignancies is ongoing, run by the ITCC and the COG group, exploring the dose-levels 230 mg/m² to 460 mg/m² BID. The results of this phase I trial, expected by 2012, and the data of the current trial will be considered to decide whether a higher dose-level for nilotinib can be opened (350 mg/m² BID).

Each 28-day cycle is repeated on Day 29/Day 1. In both treatment groups, dose reductions and/or administration delays will be performed in case of severe hematological and/or non hematological toxicities while on treatment. Vinblastine will be temporarily stopped in case of neutropenia <1 x109/L or thrombopenia <75 x 109/L. It could be re-started at a reduced dose after complete recovery. Patients benefiting from study treatment may continue up to 12 cycles as long as the toxicity-benefit ratio is adequate.

What is being measured

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

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS computed as the time interval between the date of study entry and the date of tumor progression or death (whatever the cause of death). The progression will be defined either radiologically (>25% increase in two-dimension measurements or appearance of new lesions compared to the baseline or to the best response after initiation of therapy) or clinically by new symptoms related to tumor progression (significant decrease of visual acuity, new or worsening neurological deficit). Hydrocephaly is not considered as progression per se.

    Measured: assessed up from randomization to tumor progression or death whatever the cause assessed up to 24 months

Why it stopped: the results of the interim analysis are clear with a significant advantage in terms of PFS in favor of the control arm (Vinblastine alone) over the investigational arm (Vinblastine + Nilotinib).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Vinblastine + Nilotinib and Vinblastine in people with Refractory Low-grade Gliomas and Recurrent Low-grade Gliomas, run by Gustave Roussy, Cancer Campus, Grand Paris at 8 sites in 8 countries.

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 25 inclusion and 14 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 31 May 2022. 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 Austria, Denmark, France, Italy, Netherlands and 3 more countries. 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 was stopped early (reason given: the results of the interim analysis are clear with a significant advantage in terms of PFS in favor of the control arm (Vinblastine alone) over the investigational arm (Vinblastine + Nilotinib).). Results are not available in the source record.

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 (PFS) (time frame: assessed up from randomization to tumor progression or death whatever the cause assessed up to 24 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 31 May 2022.
