A Pilot Phase II Trial of Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (Hypo-IMRT) Combining With Temozolomide (TMZ) and Bevacizumab for Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

University of Colorado, Denver1 site in 1 country30 target enrollmentSeptember 16, 2010

Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to find out whether Hypofractionated Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (Hypo-IMRT) combining with temozolomide chemotherapy can be safely given with a targeted agent, bevacizumab, and how effective this study treatment will be in controlling your brain tumor.

Detailed Description

This is a pilot phase II trial of the combination of concurrent hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy/2 weeks), temozolomide and bevacizumab followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant bevacizumab and temozolomide in patients with grade IV malignant gliomas (glioblastoma and gliosarcoma). The study will have survival and toxicity endpoints.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

•Histologically confirmed diagnosis of WHO grade IV primary malignant glioma (GBM or gliosarcoma).
•Age ≥ 18 years at the time of study registration
•Karnofsky Performance Scale ≥ 60%
•Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3, hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dl, platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/ mm3
•Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dl, serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (SGOT) and bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal
•Signed informed consent approved by the Institutional Review Board
•Craniotomy or intracranial biopsy site must be adequately healed, free of drainage or cellulitis, and the underlying cranioplasty must appear intact at the time of study entry. Study treatment should be initiated \> 28 days following the last surgical procedure (including open biopsy, surgical resection, wound revision, or any other major surgery involving entry into a body cavity)

Exclusion Criteria

•Life expectancy of less than 12 weeks
•Prior treatment, including radiation therapy or chemotherapy, for GBM with the exception of surgery (Gliadel Wafers are allowed at the time of surgery)
•Active malignancy, with the exception of superficial basal cell and/or superficial squamous (skin) cell, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
•Active infection requiring IV antibiotics
•Pregnant or breast feeding
•International normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.5 and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) \> 1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN) (except for subjects receiving anticoagulation therapy) in the absence of therapeutic intent to anticoagulate the subject. Therapeutic anticoagulation is permitted
•Evidence of ≥ Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v.3 grade 2 CNS hemorrhage (CNS hemorrhage when medical intervention indicated), but grade 1 CNS hemorrhage (asymptomatic radiographic findings on the baseline brain CT or MRI only) is allowed. Punctate hemorrhage or the presence of hemosiderin is not considered a Grade 1 event for the purpose of this study. )
•Inadequately controlled hypertension (defined as systolic blood pressure \>150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \> 100 mmHg)
•Prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy
•Current New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater congestive heart failure

Arms & Interventions

RT with Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Patients will be treated with hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy in 10 Fx) and daily TMZ at 75 mg/m2 qd concurrent with IMRT (including weekends and holidays). Bevacizumab will be administered at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15. Day 1 and the 1st Fx of IMRT must start on the same day. Four to six weeks following completion of concurrent IMRT, TMZ and bevacizumab therapy, patients will have a brain MRI and if there is no evidence of disease progression, patients will receive 6 cycles of Bevacizumab and TMZ. Beginning a minimum of 28 days after the last radiation treatment the bevacizumab will be dosed at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle. TMZ will be given at 150-200 mg/m2 qd on days 1-5 of each cycle. Each cycle is 28 days.

Intervention: Bevacizumab

RT with Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Patients will be treated with hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy in 10 Fx) and daily TMZ at 75 mg/m2 qd concurrent with IMRT (including weekends and holidays). Bevacizumab will be administered at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15. Day 1 and the 1st Fx of IMRT must start on the same day. Four to six weeks following completion of concurrent IMRT, TMZ and bevacizumab therapy, patients will have a brain MRI and if there is no evidence of disease progression, patients will receive 6 cycles of Bevacizumab and TMZ. Beginning a minimum of 28 days after the last radiation treatment the bevacizumab will be dosed at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle. TMZ will be given at 150-200 mg/m2 qd on days 1-5 of each cycle. Each cycle is 28 days.

Intervention: Temozolomide

RT with Temozolomide and Bevacizumab

Patients will be treated with hypofractionated IMRT (60 Gy in 10 Fx) and daily TMZ at 75 mg/m2 qd concurrent with IMRT (including weekends and holidays). Bevacizumab will be administered at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15. Day 1 and the 1st Fx of IMRT must start on the same day. Four to six weeks following completion of concurrent IMRT, TMZ and bevacizumab therapy, patients will have a brain MRI and if there is no evidence of disease progression, patients will receive 6 cycles of Bevacizumab and TMZ. Beginning a minimum of 28 days after the last radiation treatment the bevacizumab will be dosed at 10 mg/kg on day 1 and day 15 of each cycle. TMZ will be given at 150-200 mg/m2 qd on days 1-5 of each cycle. Each cycle is 28 days.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

6-month Progression-free Survival

Time Frame: 6 months

To use 6-month progression-free survival to assess the efficacy of the combination of hypofractionated IMRT delivering 60 Gy over 2 weeks with concurrent bevacizumab and temozolomide followed by 6 cycles of adjuvant bevacizumab and temozolomide.
