简要总结
This Phase 0 surgical window of opportunity trial seeks to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of an FDA-approved proprotein convertase/ kexin type 9 serine protease inhibitor (PCSK9i) in patients with primary and recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma. The investigators intend to evaluate whether a clinically licensed PCSK9i called evolocumab (also known as Repatha) can be repurposed as a potential immunotherapeutic for high grade glioma by testing its ability to access the intracranial space. The primary objective is to evaluate whether evolocumab crosses the blood brain barrier (BBB) and is measurable in the resected tumor specimens of patients with primary and recurrent high grade glioma or glioblastoma.
详细描述
A maximum of 10 participants will receive 420 mg (the maximum single dose) of evolocumab subcutaneously into their thigh, abdomen or upper arm 7-14 days prior to surgical de-bulking of their tumor. After de-bulking, leftover tissue not required for histological analysis will be collected, and the level of evolocumab will be quantified. At two time points, prior to injection of evolocumab and at time of their surgery, participants will have peripheral blood drawn to analyze serum levels of the drug (for comparison to levels found in their leftover tissue). The investigators will follow-up with participants about 2 weeks after surgery at their post-operative visit.
A matched cohort of resected tumor specimens from patients who were not treated with evolocumab from the Duke Brain Tumor Center Biorepository will be used as a comparison for the primary objective and 2 of the 3 secondary objectives of this study comparing brain tumor tissue specimens of patients who did and did not receive evolocumab with respect to lipid metabolism and tumor cells expressing MHC-I.

- •Adequate hepatic function within 14 days prior to starting evolocumab defined as follows:
- •Total bilirubin ≥ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (Note: Patients with known Gilbert disease without other clinically significant liver abnormalities are not excluded.)
- •AST(SGOT) and ALT(SGPT) ≥ 1.5 × ULN

- •Patients with severe hepatic impairment outside of the range defined in the inclusion criteria within 7 days of starting evolocumab.
- •History or evidence of central nervous system bleeding as defined by stroke or intraocular bleed (including embolic stroke) not associated with any antitumor surgery within 6 months before enrollment
- •Infection requiring intravenous antibiotics that was completed < 1 week of study enrollment (day 1) with the exemption of prophylactic antibiotics for long line insertion or biopsy
- •Females of reproductive potential and males who are unwilling to practice an acceptable method(s) of effective birth control while on study through 1 month (2 half-lives) after receiving the last dose of study drug.
