Biomarker and Tumor Cell Culture-Driven Pilot Trial for Treatment of Recurrent Glioblastoma
This will be a single-arm open-label prospective pilot feasibility trial recruiting 10 adult patients with recurrent glioblastoma who are assigned to receive the personalized study treatment based on the genetic profile of their recurrent GBM tumor resected at the time of surgery. It will be aimed to gather preliminary information on the study intervention and the feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial.
• Study participant has provided informed consent prior to initiation of any study specific activities/procedures.
• Adult participants, male and female, aged ≥18 who have a pathologically confirmed IDH-wild type glioblastoma, with first or second progression of the tumor, after initial treatment with radiation therapy and temozolomide.
• Recurrence is amenable to resection.
• Performance status: ECOG ≤2.
• Women of child bearing potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum (or urine) pregnancy test at the time of screening. WOCBP is defined as any female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone surgical sterilization (hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy) and is not postmenopausal. Menopause is defined as 12 months of amenorrhea in a woman over age 45 years in the absence of other biological or physiological causes.
• Patients of childbearing potential must adhere to the contraception requirement from screening throughout the study period up to 180 days after the last dose of study intervention. Women/men of childbearing potential must have agreed to use two highly effective contraceptive methods. In addition to routine contraceptive methods such as condom use, oral contraceptive, intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), effective contraception also includes heterosexual celibacy and surgery intended to prevent pregnancy (or with a side-effect of pregnancy prevention) defined as a hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral tubal ligation, or vasectomy/vasectomized partner. However, if at any point a previously celibate patient chooses to become heterosexually active during the time period for use of contraceptive measures outlined in the protocol, he/she is responsible for beginning contraceptive measures.
• Note: abstinence is acceptable if this is established and preferred contraception for the patient and is accepted as a local standard.
• Able to undergo brain MRIs.
• Females must not be breastfeeding, throughout the study period up to 180 days after the last dose of study intervention.
• Male patients should agree to not donate sperm during the study for at least 6 months until discontinuation of study drug.
