Carboplatin Plus Irinotecan in Treating Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme

Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors

• Registration Number: NCT00010036
• Lead Sponsor: NYU Langone Health

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining carboplatin with irinotecan in treating patients who have glioblastoma multiforme.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of carboplatin and irinotecan in patients with glioblastoma multiforme. (Phase I closed to accrual as of 6/24/02)

* Determine the toxic effects of this regimen in these patients.

* Determine the objective response in patients treated with the established MTD of this regimen.

* Determine time to tumor progression and survival of patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients in the phase II portion of the study are stratified according to age (under 60 vs 60 and over), ECOG performance status (0-1 vs 2), and extent of resection (total vs subtotal). (Phase I closed to accrual as of 6/24/02)

Within 4 weeks of surgery, patients receive carboplatin IV over 30 minutes followed by irinotecan IV over 90 minutes on day 1. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for a maximum of 6 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of carboplatin and irinotecan until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, additional patients are accrued to receive carboplatin and irinotecan at the recommended phase II dose. (Phase I closed to accrual as of 6/24/02)

After chemotherapy, all patients undergo radiotherapy.

Patients are followed for 30 days.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 24-107 patients (3-54 for phase I and 21-53 for phase II) will be accrued for this study. (Phase I closed to accrual as of 6/24/02)
