Oral Gallium Maltolate for the Treatment of Relapsed and Refractory Glioblastoma

Registration Number
NCT04319276
Lead Sponsor
Medical College of Wisconsin
Brief Summary

This is a phase 1 investigational study to assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of oral gallium maltolate (GaM) in participants with relapsed glioblastoma (GBM).

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, open-label phase 1 study to determine the antineoplastic activity, safety and tolerance of GaM in participants with relapsed, treatment-refractory GBM. Although GaM has been studied in previous phase 1 clinical trials in normal individuals and in participants with a variety of different solid tumors, it has never been evaluated in this population of participants. Dosages in this study have been defined to have limited side effects in other phase 1 trials. The maximum number of participants to enroll in the dose escalation part will not exceed 36. The trial will follow a 3 + 3 phase I dose escalation design.

GroupInterventionDescription
Dose-escalation Phase (2,000 mg)Gallium maltolate (2,000 mg)This is a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be entered sequentially. If 0 of 3 participants has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 participants has a DLT, up to 3 more participants are to be treated at that same dose level. If 0 of the additional 3 participants at that dose level has a DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 or more of the additional 3 participants experience a DLT, 0 participants are to be started at that dose level and the preceding dose is the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If 2 of 3 of the dosed participants has a DLT on the first dose level, the drug will be administered at a lower dose. If 0 of 3 participants has a DLT at the highest dose level, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 6 participants are treated at the MTD. The MTD is the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 treated participants, experiences a DLT.
Dose-expansion PhaseGallium maltolate (recommended phase 2 dose)A minimum of six participants will be enrolled in the dose expansion phase for a total of 12 subjects at the recommended phase 2 dose.
Dose-escalation Phase (1,000 mg)Gallium maltolate (1,000 mg)This is a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be entered sequentially. If 0 of 3 participants has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 participants has a DLT, up to 3 more participants are to be treated at that same dose level. If 0 of the additional 3 participants at that dose level has a DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 or more of the additional 3 participants experience a DLT, 0 participants are to be started at that dose level and the preceding dose is the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If 2 of 3 of the dosed participants has a DLT on the first dose level, the drug will be administered at a lower dose. If 0 of 3 participants has a DLT at the highest dose level, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 6 participants are treated at the MTD. The MTD is the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 treated participants, experiences a DLT.
Dose-escalation Phase (1,500 mg)Gallium maltolate (1,500 mg)This is a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be entered sequentially. If 0 of 3 participants has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 participants has a DLT, up to 3 more participants are to be treated at that same dose level. If 0 of the additional 3 participants at that dose level has a DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 or more of the additional 3 participants experience a DLT, 0 participants are to be started at that dose level and the preceding dose is the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If 2 of 3 of the dosed participants has a DLT on the first dose level, the drug will be administered at a lower dose. If 0 of 3 participants has a DLT at the highest dose level, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 6 participants are treated at the MTD. The MTD is the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 treated participants, experiences a DLT.
Dose-escalation Phase (500 mg)Gallium maltolate (500 mg)This is a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be entered sequentially. If 0 of 3 participants has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 participants has a DLT, up to 3 more participants are to be treated at that same dose level. If 0 of the additional 3 participants at that dose level has a DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 or more of the additional 3 participants experience a DLT, 0 participants are to be started at that dose level and the preceding dose is the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If 2 of 3 of the dosed participants has a DLT on the first dose level, the drug will be administered at a lower dose. If 0 of 3 participants has a DLT at the highest dose level, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 6 participants are treated at the MTD. The MTD is the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 treated participants, experiences a DLT.
Dose-escalation Phase (2,500 mg)Gallium maltolate (2,500 mg)This is a 3 + 3 design. Participants will be entered sequentially. If 0 of 3 participants has a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 of 3 participants has a DLT, up to 3 more participants are to be treated at that same dose level. If 0 of the additional 3 participants at that dose level has a DLT, new participants may be entered at the next higher dose level. If 1 or more of the additional 3 participants experience a DLT, 0 participants are to be started at that dose level and the preceding dose is the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If 2 of 3 of the dosed participants has a DLT on the first dose level, the drug will be administered at a lower dose. If 0 of 3 participants has a DLT at the highest dose level, an additional 3 participants will be enrolled to ensure that 6 participants are treated at the MTD. The MTD is the highest dose level at which no more than 1 of 6 treated participants, experiences a DLT.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Maximum-tolerated dose.Each 28-day cohort

This will be determined from the incidence of dose limiting toxicities at each dosage.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-free survival6 months

This measure is the number of months participants remain free from evidence of disease. Imaging will be done every eight weeks and reported at six months.

Overall survival6 months

Overall survival is determined as the average number of months subjects survived following enrollment.

Dose-limiting toxicity28 days for each cohort

Number of participants experiencing a dose limiting toxicity.
