MTX110 by Convection-Enhanced Delivery in Treating Participants With Newly-Diagnosed Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

NCT03566199

Description:

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of panobinostat nanoparticle formulation MTX110 (MTX110) in treating participants with newly-diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Panobinostat nanoparticle formulation MTX110 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Purpose

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects of panobinostat nanoparticle formulation MTX110 (MTX110) in treating participants with newly-diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Panobinostat nanoparticle formulation MTX110 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the safety and tolerability of repeated administration of MTX110 co-infused
      with gadoteridol given by intratumoral convection enhanced delivery in children with newly
      diagnosed diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the clinical efficacy of repeated administration of MTX110 given by
      intratumoral convection-enhanced delivery (CED) in children with newly diagnosed DIPG in the
      confines of a phase I and early efficacy study.

      OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

      Participants receive panobinostat nanoparticle formulation MTX110 intratumorally (IT) by CED
      infusion on day 1 or days 1 and 2 as determined by dose level. Courses repeat every 4-8 weeks
      for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

      After completion of study treatment participants are followed up at 30 days and then every 2
      months.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients with newly diagnosed DIPG by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); defined as
             patients with a pontine location and diffuse involvement of at least 2/3 of the pons
             are eligible without histologic diagnosis. For lesions with typical imaging features,
             biopsy is neither encouraged nor required for eligibility. Tumors that are biopsied
             will be eligible if proven to be supportive of the diagnosis of a DIPG. Consensus of
             diagnosis by the study team must be met.

          -  Patients who have completed focal radiotherapy within 14 weeks from time of enrollment
             are eligible.

          -  Treatment must begin at a minimum of 4 weeks after, but no later than 14 weeks after,
             the date of completion of focal radiotherapy.

          -  Prior chemotherapy: Patients should be at least 30 days from last chemotherapy dose
             prior to start of CED infusion, with exception of antibody half-lives. For antibody
             therapies, at least 3 half-lives of the antibody after last dose of monoclonal
             antibody should have passed prior to CED infusion. Patients less than 30 days from
             last chemotherapy dose should be discussed with the study chair(s).

          -  Prior radiation: Patients must have received prior treatment with focal radiotherapy
             as part of initial treatment for DIPG and had their last dose at least 4 weeks prior
             to and no later than 14 weeks from the first CED treatment. Standard focal radiation
             therapy will include 54 to 60 Gy by external beam radiotherapy to the brainstem.

          -  Age ≥ 2 years of age to 21 years. Patients younger than 3 years of age may be enrolled
             on study at the discretion of the Study Chair(s) if supporting evidence that brainstem
             lesion represents a brainstem glioma.

          -  Karnofsky Performance Score ≥ 50 for patients > 16 years of age and Lansky Performance
             Score ≥ 50 for patients ≤ 16 years of age. Patients who are unable to walk because of

             infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac
             arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
