Methoxyamine and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well methoxyamine works when added to standard temozolomide in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as methoxyamine and temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
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.

  • - Patients must be able to provide written informed consent.
  • - Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study start; women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while 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 through 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
  • - Patients must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder; patients with prior malignancies must be disease-free for >= five years.
  • - Patients must be able to swallow capsules.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Patients receiving any other investigational agents are ineligible.
  • - Patient must not have known sensitivity to TRC102 or any formulation excipients.
  • - Patients on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED) are not eligible for treatment on this protocol; patients may be on non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs; patients previously treated with EIAED may be enrolled if they have been off the EIAED for 10 days or more prior to the first dose of TRC102.
  • - Patients must not be on any anticoagulation.
  • - Patient must not have prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery or GI disease that might interfere with the absorption of TRC102.
  • - Patients who have not recovered to < Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 toxicities related to prior therapy are ineligible.
  • - Patients must not have active brain metastases from a systemic solid tumor.
  • - Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, clinically significant cardiac disease, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, are ineligible.
  • - Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with TRC102.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible

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.

NCT02395692
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.

  • II. To estimate the efficacy of TRC102 and temozolomide, as measured by response rate, in bevacizumab refractory glioblastoma.
(Arm II) SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
  • I. Evaluate the toxicities of oral TRC102 and temozolomide in this patient population.
  • II. Estimate the efficacy of TRC102 and temozolomide, as measured by progression-free survival, progression-free survival at 6 months and overall survival, in bevacizumab naïve glioblastoma.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:
  • I. Assess the tissue correlates of N-methylpurine-deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) glycosylase (MPG), topoisomerase II-alpha (topo II a), and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) status, with response, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days, every 2 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.
