Adult Study: ABT-414 Alone or ABT-414 Plus Temozolomide vs. Lomustine or Temozolomide for Recurrent Glioblastoma Pediatric Study: Evaluation of ABT-414 in Children With High Grade Gliomas

Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Glioblastoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT02343406
Lead Sponsor
AbbVie
Brief Summary

This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of depatuxizumab mafodotin (ABT-414) alone or with temozolomide versus temozolomide or lomustine alone in adult participants with recurrent glioblastoma. The study also included a substudy to evaluate safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of ABT-414 in a pediatric population.

Detailed Description

The study objectives were to assess whether depatuxizumab mafodotin (ABT-414) alone or in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) improved overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), tumor response, quality of life, neurological deterioration-free survival (NDFS), and steroid use compared to standard treatment with lomustine single agent or TMZ re-challenge in adult subjects ≥ 18 years of age with centrally-confirmed recurrent epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-amplified glioblastoma. The safety, pharmacokinetics, and efficacy of depatuxizumab mafodotin in children \<18 years of age was evaluated in a pediatric substudy. The EMEA-001732-PIP02-15 pediatric investigation plan was withdrawn on 07 July 2019 due to the discontinuation of the depatuxizumab mafodotin research program.

  • Presence of EGFR amplification confirmed by central assessment; participants with undetermined EGFR status are excluded
  • World Health Organization (WHO) Performance status 0 - 2
  • No more than one line of chemotherapy (concurrent and adjuvant Temozolomide based chemotherapy including in combination with another investigational agent is considered one line of chemotherapy). Chemotherapy must have been completed at least 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Post surgery MRI within 48 hours following surgery, however an MRI scan has to be done within 2 weeks prior to randomization.
  • Surgery completed at least 2 weeks before randomization and patients should have fully recovered as assessed by investigators.
  • Renal function: calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min by the Cockcroft-Gault formula.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adult Study: Overall Survival (OS)From the date of randomization up to the date of participant's death; participants who completed treatment were to be assessed every 12 weeks, up to 28 months.

Overall Survival (OS) was defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause, regardless of whether the event occurred on or off study drug (depatuxizumab mafodotin/temozolomide/lomustine).

Adult Study: Progression-Free Survival (PFS)Measured every 8 weeks from date of randomization until the date of first objective progression or subject's death, whichever occurred first, up to 2 years

Progression-free survival was assessed per response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO) criteria and assessed by an independent review committee and was defined as the length of time during and after the treatment of a disease, that the participant lived with the disease but did not get worse.

Pediatric Study: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events From the First Visit Until 49 Days After the Last Dose of Study DrugFrom participant's first visit until 49 days after the participant's last dose of study drug, up to 63 weeks

The severity of each adverse event was rated according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE Version 4.0)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adult Study: Objective Response Rate (ORR)Every 8 weeks at each assessment of disease, up to 28 months

The objective response rate (ORR) included best overall responses - complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) - assessed by the independent review committee per response assessment in neurooncology criteria (RANO) criteria from the date of randomization until disease progression or death, whichever came first. All objective responses (CR and PR) must be have been confirmed by repeat MRI 4 weeks after the first time when CR or PR is identified. Any subject who did not meet CR or PR including those who did not have post-baseline radiological assessments was considered a nonresponder.

Adult Study: Overall Survival in the Subgroup With Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFRvIII) MutationFrom the date of randomization up to the date of participant's death; participants who completed treatment were to be assessed every 12 weeks, up to 28 months

Overall Survival (OS) was defined as time from randomization to death due to any cause, regardless of whether the event occurred on or off study drug (depatuxizumab mafodotin/temozolomide/lomustine) for all randomized participants that had the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFRvIII) mutation.

Pediatric Study: Objective Response Rate (ORR)Evaluated every 8 weeks (+/- 7 days) at each assessment of disease according to response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO), until progression or withdrawal up to approximately 52 weeks

The pediatric data collection for this study was still ongoing when INTELLANCE-1 (NCT02573324; EudraCT number 2015-001166-26) interim efficacy results overall indicated no survival benefit to adding depatuxizumab mafodotin to standard radiotherapy/temozolomide therapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients. Based on the INTELLANCE-1 results, AbbVie decided to stop further enrollment of pediatric participants into the pediatric substudy and to stop the collection of efficacy data. Because of this decision not to summarize except for safety data, the pediatric substudy ORR analysis was not summarized due to the small number of pediatric participants enrolled in the study.
