Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Sign written informed consent.
  • Histologically proven glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) that is progressive or recurrent following standard radiation therapy (RT) and temozolomide (i.e., at least "biopsy-proven" recurrent disease). Previous salvage therapies after first recurrence are permitted.
  • Measurable contrast-enhancing progressive or recurrent GBM (single or multiple lesions) by MRI imaging with an interval of greater than or equal to 6 months between recurrence and completion of prior radiotherapy.
  • Patients who have not passed an interval of at least 6 months may still be eligible if they meet the following criteria: convincing histologic evidence of disease recurrence which is not thought to predominantly represent radionecrosis, standard focal external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) treatment with acceptable doses to tumor and normal tissue which suggest re-irradiation is feasible.
  • Prior history of standard dose focal RT to 60 Gy in 30 fractions or 59.4 Gy in 1.8 Gy fractions, or equivalent or lower doses. Patients who have received prior treatment with non-standard RT dose and fractionation schemes are still eligible, provided they have only received a single course of RT. However, subjects treated with interstitial brachytherapy or single-fraction stereotactic radiosurgery are not eligible for this trial.
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥60%

  • Clinical laboratory:
  • absolute neutrophil count >1,500/microliter (mcL)
  • platelets >100,000/mcL
  • hemoglobin > 9 g/ dL serum bilirubin < 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); unless due to Gilbert's syndrome (in which <2 times ULN acceptable)

  • Biopsy-confirmed exclusive radionecrosis after initial GBM therapy.
  • Receipt of other investigational agents or anti-cancer agents within 30 days
  • Serious concurrent infection or medical illness, which would jeopardize the ability of the subject to receive treatment safely.

About this study

Official title: TAU-2014-1: Phase I Trial of Mibefradil Dihydrochloride With Hypofractionated Re-Irradiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

This is a dose-escalation study that will assess the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of mibefradil dihydrochloride, a partially selective T-type calcium channel blocker, combined with hypofractionated radiation therapy (RT) in subjects with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme (GBM).

Read the detailed description

Patients will receive mibefradil dihydrochloride, which will be dose escalated from 150mg/day until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, or until a dose of 350 mg/day is reached using a standard 3 + 3 design. Mibefradil dihydrochloride will be dosed orally in 4 divided doses per day for 17 consecutive days to the MTD. The MTD will be determined according to dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. Radiation therapy (RT) consists of 5 fractions of 600 centigray (cGy) each, delivered over 2 consecutive weeks for a total dose of 3,000 cGy, using stereotactic, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT).

The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the MTD of mibefradil dihydrochloride when given with concurrent hypofractionated RT. Secondary and tertiary endpoints include evaluating the efficacy of mibefradil dihydrochloride and RT in terms of progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and to perform translational research on resected tumor tissue.

What participants receive

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

  • Mibefradil with RadiationDrug

    Also called mibefradil, mibefradil dihydrochloride, Posicor, hypo fractionated radiation

    Patients will receive mibefradil dihydrochloride, which will be dose escalated from 150mg/day until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined, or until a dose of 350 mg/day is reached using a standard 3 + 3 design. Mibefradil dihydrochloride will be dosed orally in 4 divided doses per day for 17 consecutive days to the MTD.

    This will be given concurrently with hypofractionated radiation therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Mibefradil with Radiation in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM), run by Cavion, Inc. 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 18 inclusion and 15 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 24 Jul 2019. 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 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?

Dose limiting toxicities (time frame: Monitored continuously, 27 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 24 Jul 2019.
