- Brief Summary
An early phase 1 for pediatric patients with recurrent or progressive CNS malignancies
- Detailed Description
This clinical trial is a early phase 1, open label, single center, single arm study of the combination of intravenously administered SGT-53 and irradiation and/or chemotherapy in pediatric patients with recurrent or progressive CNS malignancies. The objective of the study is to establish the safety and feasibility of administration of SGT-53 in conjunction with conventional radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in children with recurrent or refractory CNS malignancies.

- Patients with any clinically significant unrelated systemic illness (serious infection or significant cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, or other organ dysfunction) that is likely to interfere with ability to tolerate study therapy or study procedure results.
- Patients with low-grade gliomas, craniopharyngioma, or extracranial tumors with CNS metastases.
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational drug therapy.
- Patients who require therapeutic anti-coagulation.
- Patients who in the opinion of the investigator cannot adhere to protocol requirements.
- Patients with history of clinically significant clot or hemorrhage are eligible but will not receive bevacizumab during chemotherapy regimen.
- Unavailability of the chemotherapy due to insurance coverage or other logistical issues is an ineligibility criterion.
- Patients may not be on immunosuppressive therapy, including corticosteroids (with the exception of physiologic replacement, defined as 0.75mg/m2/day) at time of enrollment. However, patients who require intermittent use of bronchodilators or local steroid injections will not be excluded from the study.

Group Intervention Description SGT-53 with radiation or drugs SGT-53 Radiation phase: SGT-53 will be given at 2.1 mg DNA/m2 twice weekly for the first week of radiation therapy, and then increase to 2.8 mg DNA/m2 twice weekly. Radiation therapy will be administered as per clinical care, with a target of fifteen (15) fractions, but patients with other clinically-determined radiation plans will be allowed. Chemotherapy phase: SGT-53 will be administered at the highest tolerated dose given during radiation phase. Irinotecan will be given at a dose of 50mg/m2/dose IV daily for five days in a 4-week cycle. Temozolomide will be given at a dose of 100mg/m2 PO daily for five days in a 4-week cycle and bevacizumab will be given at a dose of 10mg/kg IV every two weeks in a 4-week cycle.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of Adverse Events up to 13 months An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence that began or worsened in grade after the start of study drug through 30 days after the last dose. The safety will be assessed by the number and severity of any AE or serious adverse events (SAE) experienced by the patients, and by their relationship to the study drug SGT-53 (e.g. definitely, probably, possibly, unlikely or unrelated). Severity will be graded according to NCI CTCAE version 4.0.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Duration of Response 36 months The duration of response will be the time calculated from documentation of tumor response as indicated by response criteria, to disease progression.
Overall Survival 36 months Overall survival will be calculated from date of original diagnoses to death and also from the date of study registration to death.
Progressive-Free Survival (PFS) 36 months PFS will be calculated at all times during follow-up, with particular interest in the 6-month time point. Progression free survival will be calculated from date of first treatment to the date of first observation of progressive disease, non-reversible neurological progression or increasing steroid requirements (applies to stable disease only), death due to any cause, or early discontinuation of treatment.
Characterization of Phenotype of Patients 4-5 days Tissue will be obtained from each enrolling patient for subsequent testing for TP53 pathway functionality, including assessment of mdm2, p21, and other mutation or expression alterations. This analysis will also include measures of commonly assessed polymorphisms, including MGMT methylation assessment, ATRX mutation among others.
Feasibility of Droplet PCR Assays to Monitor for Tumor Burden 12 months Droplet PCR will be used to assess for the presence of circulating tumor DNA
Response Rate 36 months The response rate will be calculated from the percentage of patients whose cancer shrinks or disappears after treatment.
