Trial Outcomes & Findings for Vismodegib in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Medulloblastoma (NCT NCT01239316)

NCT ID: NCT01239316

Last Updated: 2016-01-14

Results Overview

Objective response is either a complete response or a partial response sustained for 8 weeks in a patient. The objective response rate will be reported separately for patients of each stratum. CR is complete disappearance of all enhancing tumor. PR is \>= 50% reduction in tumor size.

Participant Flow

This study was distributed to the sites on 11/22/2010, and received the first IRB approval on 02/02/2011. It was closed to accrual on 03/25/2015. As of the closure date, 42 patients have been pre-screened for Hh pathway activation. Of the 42 patients, 9 patients with Hg pathway activated tumors were registered.

There were three patients treated at the MTD of GDC-0449 on PBTC-025 who had Hh pathway activated tumors and who met the eligibility criteria for PBTC-032. These three patients were included in the assessment of the primary objectives for PBTC-032.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 12 months

Objective response is either a complete response or a partial response sustained for 8 weeks in a patient. The objective response rate will be reported separately for patients of each stratum. CR is complete disappearance of all enhancing tumor. PR is \>= 50% reduction in tumor size.

Population: Patients who have day 21 plasma GDC-0449 concentration data available

Pharmacokinetics (Plasma) of GDC-0449
18 uM
Interval 9.5 to 45.3

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From start of treatment up to 2 years

Progression-free survival (PFS) is measured from the date of initial treatment with GDC-0449 until the earliest of progression or death on study. PFS is censored at the last tumor assessment date for patients without disease progression who have not died within 30 days of last exposure to study treatment. Kaplan-Meier method is used to estimate the progression-free survival.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: From start of treatment up to 2 years

Population: Patient with sustained objective response

The duration of objective response is measured from the initial scan documenting complete or partial response that was subsequently confirmed until the earlier of documented progression or death on study. Duration of objective response is censored at the last tumor assessment date for patients without disease progression who have not died within 30 days of last exposure to study treatment.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: up to 12 month

Population: The calculation of drug penetration is based on patients who had the course 1 plasma and CSF drug concentration data

The estimated median of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) drug penetration is reported when expressed as an AUC ratio of CSF vismodegib to that of unbound drug in plasma.
