Maximum Tolerated Dose, Safety, and Efficacy of Rhenium Nanoliposomes in Recurrent Glioma (ReSPECT)

Study Purpose

This is a multi-center, sequential cohort, open-label, volume and dose escalation study of the safety, tolerability, and distribution of 186RNL given by convection enhanced delivery to patients with recurrent or progressive malignant glioma after standard surgical, radiation, and/or chemotherapy treatment. The study uses a modified Fibonacci dose escalation, followed by an expansion at the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) to determine efficacy. The starting absorbed dose is 1mCi in a volume of 0.660mL.

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.

  • - Systemic therapy (including investigational agents and small-molecule kinase inhibitors) or non-cytotoxic hormonal therapy (e.g., tamoxifen) within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter, prior to study start (dosing) - Biologic agents (antibodies, immune modulators, vaccines, cytokines) within 21 days prior to study start (dosing) - Nitrosoureas or mitomycin C within 42 days, or metronomic/protracted low- dose chemotherapy within 14 days, or other cytotoxic chemotherapy within 28 days, prior to study start (dosing) - Prior treatment with carmustine wafers.
  • - Patients who are currently receiving any other investigational agents and/or who have received an investigational agent in 28 days prior to study start (dosing) 8.
Multifocal progression or involvement of the leptomeninges. 9. Psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with the study requirements. 10. Infratentorial disease. 11. The subject has a tumor located within 1-2 cm of a ventricle AND it is determined by the surgeon, PI, and sponsor to be a risk for drug extravasation to the subarachnoid space if given catheter placement and drug administration. 12. Phase 2 only: The subject should have a tumor volume of ≤20 cm3 to be included in the Phase 2 portion of the study. Subjects with tumor volumes of greater than 20 cm3 are excluded from the Phase 2 portion of the study.

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.

Additional Details

The Phase I portion of the clinical study evaluates a single dose of 186RNL (radionuclide clinical study drug) administered through a convection enhanced delivery catheter (CED catheter) in participants with recurrent Glioma (GBM). The clinical study treatment consists of a single administered dose of 186RNL per participant. The clinical study will include the evaluation of multiple separate dose levels (dose escalation). Three to six participants may be treated at each dose. The maximum number of participants to be enrolled in the study is approximately 21. The clinical study treatment will be administered, following CED placement, by the clinical study physician. Participants will be followed for up to 36 months after the clinical study drug is administered. The Phase II portion of the clinical study is a multicenter, single arm, prospective study utilizing a non-DLT dose obtained from the dose escalation portion of IND 116117, NIH-NCI Grant (22.3 mCi (total 186RNL activity) at a concentration of 2.5 mCi/mL and 8.8 mL total volume). The maximum number of participants to be enrolled in the Phase II study is approximately 34. The clinical study treatment will be administered, following CED placement, by the clinical study physician. Participants will be followed for up to 36 months after the clinical study drug is administered. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved 186RNL for this specific disease.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: 186Rhenium Liposome Treatment

Arm Phase I: Experimental: Dose Escalation for Cohorts 1-8 Each participant will receive a single administration of 186RNL. At each dose level, a minimum of three to a maximum of six participants will be enrolled. If no dose limiting toxicity is observed in the initial three participants, then the next higher dose level cohort will open for enrollment. The dose escalation scheme will follow a modified Fibonacci dose escalation scheme as shown below: COHORT ACTIVITY Cohort 1 (1.0 mCi) Cohort 2 (2.0 mCi) Cohort 3 (4.0 mCi) Cohort 4 (8.0 mCi) Cohort 5 (13.4 mCi) Cohort 6 (22.3 mCi) Cohort 7 (31.2 mCi) Cohort 8 (41.5 mCi) Phase 2: Single arm, prospective study utilizing a non-DLT dose obtained from the dose escalation portion of IND 116117, NIH-NCI Grant (22.3 mCi (total 186RNL activity) at a concentration of 2.5 mCi/mL and 8.8 mL total volume).

Interventions

Drug: - Rhenium Liposome Treatment

At the time of stereotactic biopsy a catheter will be placed within the tumor using stereotactic guidance. Once the patient has adequately recovered from the procedure as determined by the neurosurgeon, 186RNL will be infused through the CED catheter at the predetermined dose. Spectroscopic imaging will then be obtained at predefined time points to visualize the distribution of the 186RNL as well as calculated the actual dose retained within the tumor. Patients will be monitored longitudinally for evidence of toxicity and response by MRI.
