Feasibility of Individualized Therapy for Recurrent GBM

NCT03681028

Description:

The current study will test the ability and likelihood of successfully implementing individualized combination treatment recommendations for adult patients with surgically-resectable recurrent glioblastoma in a timely fashion. Collected tumor tissue and blood will be examined using a new diagnostic testing called University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) 500 Cancer Gene Panel which is done at the UCSF Clinical Cancer Genomics Laboratory. The UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel will help identify genetic changes in the DNA of a patient's cancer, which helps oncologists improve treatment by identifying targeted therapies.

Purpose

The current study will test the ability and likelihood of successfully implementing individualized combination treatment recommendations for adult patients with surgically-resectable recurrent glioblastoma in a timely fashion. Collected tumor tissue and blood will be examined using a new diagnostic testing called University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) 500 Cancer Gene Panel which is done at the UCSF Clinical Cancer Genomics Laboratory. The UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel will help identify genetic changes in the DNA of a patient's cancer, which helps oncologists improve treatment by identifying targeted therapies.

Detailed Description

      This is a pilot, single-institution, single cohort, non-randomized open-label study to assess
      feasibility of implementing an individualized treatment regimen in patients with surgical
      recurrent GBM. Patients are not stratified according to demographic or treatment-related
      parameters. Patients must have recurrent glioblastoma treated with appropriate tumor
      treatment including radiation therapy at initial diagnosis. Surgery must be clinically
      indicated and patients must be candidates for tumor resection at UCSF.

      The goal of the current study is to build upon prior results by confirming the feasibility of
      actually implementing patient-specific drug regimens in a rapid, clinically-relevant
      timetable. We will also assess for efficacy, safety, and response outcomes of these
      patient-specific regimens, to generate preliminary data that would support a larger trial
      assessing efficacy of such an approach.

      Resected tumor tissue and blood will be examined using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) UCSF
      500 Cancer Gene Panel at the UCSF Clinical Cancer Genomics Laboratory and Whole genome and
      RNA sequencing. The clinical report generated from the NGS UCSF 500 panel will be provided to
      a study-specific Tumor Board who will generate an individualized treatment recommendation
      based on the report. The individualized treatment regimen potentially will include up to 4
      re-purposed, off-the-shelf, FDA-approved targeted agents. The Board will identify the
      expected/anticipated drug-drug interactions and anticipated additional toxicities of the
      combination of therapies. The treating physician is given the report, discusses the suggested
      treatment options with the patient, and initiates treatment, ideally within 28 calendar days
      (and no later than 35 calendar days) after surgery. Treatment will continue until tumor
      progression.

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Individualized therapyOtherStudy treatment for a given patient will consist of a regimen chosen from agents implicated in critical molecular signaling pathways and/or from signature-based predictions of drug efficacy. All agents are listed in the current pharmacopoeia for human use, but will differ amongst individual subjects. The study treatment will consist of up to 4 FDA approved drugs that have known dosing. This study is not only looking at 4 drugs. It is selecting up to 4 drugs per patient but the drugs chosen can be any FDA-approved drug. Therefore, it is not possible to pre-specify the medications.

          1. Patient age must be >= 18 years

          2. Patients must understand and provide written informed consent and Health Insurance
             Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) authorization authorization prior
             to initiation of any study-specific procedures

          3. Patients must have recurrence of histologically-proven glioblastoma or gliosarcoma,
             World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV that is surgically resectable.

          5. Patient must have Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score >=70

          6. Patient must have an estimated life expectancy ≥ 3 months

          7. Patients may enroll independent of number of prior therapies or cumulative doses of
             prior therapies, but must have received appropriate prior therapy for GBM at time of
             initial diagnosis, including radiation therapy.

          8. Patient must have adequate bone marrow function, renal function, and hepatic function
             as defined below:

             Adequate bone marrow function:

               1. absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/μL

               2. Platelets >= 100,000/μL

             Adequate hepatic function:

               1. total bilirubin <= 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal

               2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) /serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)
                  <= 2.5x institutional upper limit of normal

               3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) <=
                  2.5x institutional upper limit of normal

             Adequate renal function:

             a. creatinine <= 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance >=
             60 mL/min/1.73 m2

          9. Must be able to undergo MRI scans for tumor evaluation.

         10. Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum)
             within 7 days prior to surgery.

             The effects of study drugs, either individually or their combination on the developing
             human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing potential and men
             must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of
             study participation and for 3 months after completion of study drug administration.
             The use of adequate contraception may be longer than 3 months depending on the drugs
             used and the FDA-approved labeling in cases of recommendation for contraception.
             Adequate contraception may include hormonal contraception, barrier method (condom,
             contraceptive sponge, diaphragm or ring), intrauterine device (IUD), tubal ligation,
             vasectomy and abstinence. Should a woman become pregnant (or suspect that she is
             pregnant) while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform
             her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also
             agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study
             participation, and 3 months after completion of study drug administration. Patient
             must not be a woman who is currently pregnant, due to the potential for teratogenic or
             abortifacient effects of study drugs, either alone or in combination. Because there is
             an unknown but potential risk of adverse events in nursing infants secondary to
             treatment of the mother with study drugs, lactating women who are breastfeeding should
             discontinue breastfeeding if the mother is treated with any study drug.

         11. Patients must not have New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater
             congestive heart failure

         12. Patients must not have history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 12
             months prior to study enrollment.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          1. Patient who has been treated with any chemotherapy or radiotherapy ≤4 weeks prior to
             date of study registration. Exceptions to this include: must be ≥ 23 days from last
             dose of temozolomide (TMZ), must be ≥ 6 weeks from last dose of nitrosurea.

          2. Patient who has not recovered to grade 1 or baseline from the adverse effects of prior
             radiotherapy or chemotherapy.

          3. Patient who is < 12 weeks from initial course of radiation

          4. Patients with multifocal tumor, primarily infratentorial or posterior fossa tumor, or
             leptomeningeal dissemination of tumor.

          5. Patient with any other active malignancy besides GBM, excluding non-melanomatous skin
             cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, prostate, or breast, unless patient has
             been disease-free/in remission for >=2 years prior to date of study enrollment

          6. Patients known to be HIV-positive. HIV testing is not required for study
             participation.

          7. Uncontrolled concurrent illness including psychiatric illness, or situations that
             would limit compliance with the study requirements or the ability to willingly give
             written informed consent.
