Trial summary

New treatments are greatly needed for patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Metronomic temozolomide is a standard treatment option but has, at best, modest activity. The nanoliposomal irinotecan may be much more active than the parent compound irinotecan since nanoliposomal irinotecan's ability to cross the blood… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: BrUOG 329: Onivyde (Nanoliposomal Irinotecan) and Metronomic Temozolomide for Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma: A Phase IB/IIA Brown University Oncology Research Group Study

New treatments are greatly needed for patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Metronomic temozolomide is a standard treatment option but has, at best, modest activity. The nanoliposomal irinotecan may be much more active than the parent compound irinotecan since nanoliposomal irinotecan's ability to cross the blood brain barrier is improved. This phase I study will establish the MTD of the combination of nanoliposomal irinotecan in combination with temozolomide safety and preliminary clinical efficacy of the combination of nanoliposomal irinotecan and metronomic temozolomide.

Read the detailed description

1.1 Primary Objective 1.1.1. To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan with continuous low-dose temozolomide for patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

1.1.2 To assess the preliminary response rate and progression free survival of nanaliposomal irinotecan with continuous low-dose temozolomide in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

1.2 Secondary Objectives 1.2.1 To evaluate the safety of nanoliposomal irinotecan with continuous low-dose temozolomide.

What participants receive

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

  • Nanoliposomal IrinotecanDrug

    Also called Onivyde

    Three patients will be accrued to level 1. If no dose limiting toxicities are observed following completion of 4 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment then accrual to dose level 2 will proceed (patients must be evaluated prior to their cycle 3 treatment and this will be used to confirm DLTs). If a DLT is observed in one of the first 3 patients in a dose level, then accrual for that level will be expanded to 6 patients. Accrual will continue in this way until the MTD of nanoliposomal irinotecan with temozolomide 50mg/m2/day is determined. Two or more instances of DLT in a cohort of 6 patients will result in the preceding dose level being defined as the MTD. If two or more instances of DLT in a cohort of 6 patients occurs in dose level 1 then dose level -1 of nanoliposomal irinotecan will be investigated. After determination of the MTD, the final cohort will be expanded so that a total of 25 patients are treated on study. The final cohort will be treated at the MTD.

  • TemozolomideDrug

    Also called TMZ

    Three patients will be accrued to level 1. If no dose limiting toxicities are observed following completion of 4 weeks (2 cycles) of treatment then accrual to dose level 2 will proceed (patients must be evaluated prior to their cycle 3 treatment and this will be used to confirm DLTs). If a DLT is observed in one of the first 3 patients in a dose level, then accrual for that level will be expanded to 6 patients. Accrual will continue in this way until the MTD of nanoliposomal irinotecan with temozolomide 50mg/m2/day is determined. Two or more instances of DLT in a cohort of 6 patients will result in the preceding dose level being defined as the MTD. If two or more instances of DLT in a cohort of 6 patients occurs in dose level 1 then dose level -1 of nanoliposomal irinotecan will be investigated. After determination of the MTD, the final cohort will be expanded so that a total of 25 patients are treated on study. The final cohort will be treated at the MTD.

What is being measured

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

  1. Determination of Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    To evaluate the maximum tolerated dose of nanoliposomal irinotecan with continuous low-dose temozolomide for patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

    Measured: Every two weeks for 4 weeks

  2. Response

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR."

    Measured: Every 2 months on study treatment then very 3 months once treatment has stopped, until progression of disease up to 2 years.

  3. Survival Status of Participants Treated With Nanaliposomal Irinotecan With Continuous Low-dose Temozolomide in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma.

    Measured: Collected every 3 months once treatment has stopped, until progression of disease, up to 2 years.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Toxicities

    Treatment emergent toxicities of nanoliposomal irinotecan with continuous low-dose temozolomide using CTCAE version 4.03, grades 2 through 4

    Measured: Baseline through 30 days post off study treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Nanoliposomal Irinotecan and Temozolomide in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme and Glioblastoma, run by Brown University 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 20 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 13 Dec 2022. 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 combined 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.

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 24 Feb 2022). 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?

Determination of Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: Every two weeks for 4 weeks). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03119064, 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 13 Dec 2022.
