Erlotinib and Temozolomide With Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme or Other Brain Tumors
Study Purpose
This pilot phase II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of erlotinib when given with temozolomide and radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients with glioblastoma multiforme or other brain tumors. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Erlotinib may interfere with the growth of tumor cells, slow the growth of the tumor, and make the tumor cells more sensitive to radiation therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining erlotinib and temozolomide with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
Recruitment Criteria
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms |

Study Type
An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies. |

Trial Details
Trial ID:
This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries. |
NCT00039494 |
Phase
Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use. |

PILOT STUDY OBJECTIVES:
- I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose of erlotinib administered with temozolomide and radiotherapy in patients with glioblastoma multiforme or other grade 4 brain tumors who are currently on enzyme-inducing anticonvulsant (EIAC) therapy vs.#46;no EIAC therapy.
- II. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.
- III. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
- IV. Determine the efficacy of this regimen, in terms of 1-year survival, in these patients.
- I. Determine the response rate and time to progression in patients treated with this regimen.
- II. Determine the 6-month progression-free survival of patients treated with this regimen.
- III. Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.
Arms
Experimental: Treatment (erlotinib hydrochloride, radiation, temozolomide)
Patients receive oral erlotinib once daily. After 1 week of erlotinib alone, patients also receive oral temozolomide once daily for 6 weeks and undergo concurrent radiotherapy 5 days a week for 6 weeks. After completion of radiotherapy, patients continue to receive erlotinib once daily alone in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning 4 weeks after the completion of radiotherapy, patients also receive oral temozolomide once daily for 5 days. Temozolomide treatment repeats every 28 days for 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Interventions
Drug: - erlotinib hydrochloride
Given orally
Radiation: - 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
Drug: - temozolomide
Given orally
