Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of the study is to determine the effectiveness of an investigational drug called lucanthone, when combined with temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation in the treatment of Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is an international, multicenter, randomized, double blind placebo controlled phase II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of lucanthone administered as an adjunct to patients receiving primary treatment of GBM with temozolomide and radiation. Eligible patients will be randomized to lucanthone or placebo arm in ratio of 1:1. The treatment period will be in two phases ; an initial six weeks of concomitant therapy with temozolomide and radiation, followed by a maintenance phase of six cycles of temozolomide given on Days 1 to 5 of a 28- day cycle (+/- 3 days). Lucanthone / placebo will be given as an add on in both concomitant and maintenance phases.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Placebo

Participants will receive a matching placebo as an adjunct in initial six weeks of concomitant therapy with TMZ and radiation, followed by a maintenance phase of six cycles of TMZ given on Days 1 to 5 of a 28-day cycle (+/- 3 days).

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Temozolomide (TMZ)

Intervention Type DRUG

TMZ is administered at 75mg/m2 daily for 42 days during the concomitant phase. TMZ is administered for an additional 6 cycles of maintenance treatment. Dosage in Cycle 1 (maintenance) is 150 mg/m2 once daily for 5 days followed by 23 days without treatment.

Cycles 2-6: At the start of Cycle 2, the dose can be escalated to 200 mg/m2, if the common terminology criteria (CTC) nonhematologic toxicity for Cycle 1 is Grade ≤2 (except for alopecia, nausea, and vomiting), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is ≥1.5 x 109/L, and the platelet count is ≥100 x 109/L. The dose remains at 200 mg/m2 per day for the first 5 days of each subsequent cycle except if toxicity occurs.

Radiation

Intervention Type RADIATION

60 Gy administered in 30 fractions for 42 days in the concomitant phase.

Placebo

Intervention Type DRUG

Placebo will be given as an oral at 10-15 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks during the concomitant phase. In the maintenance phase, placebo will be administered on days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles.

Lucanthone

Participants will receive Lucanthone as an adjunct in initial six weeks of concomitant therapy with TMZ and radiation, followed by a maintenance phase of six cycles of TMZ given on Days 1 to 5 of a 28-day cycle (+/- 3 days).

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lucanthone

Intervention Type DRUG

Lucanthone will be given as an oral at 10-15 mg/kg/day for 6 weeks during the concomitant phase. In the maintenance phase, placebo will be administered on days 1-5 of a 28-day cycle for 6 cycles.

Temozolomide (TMZ)

Intervention Type DRUG

TMZ is administered at 75mg/m2 daily for 42 days during the concomitant phase. TMZ is administered for an additional 6 cycles of maintenance treatment. Dosage in Cycle 1 (maintenance) is 150 mg/m2 once daily for 5 days followed by 23 days without treatment.

Cycles 2-6: At the start of Cycle 2, the dose can be escalated to 200 mg/m2, if the common terminology criteria (CTC) nonhematologic toxicity for Cycle 1 is Grade ≤2 (except for alopecia, nausea, and vomiting), absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is ≥1.5 x 109/L, and the platelet count is ≥100 x 109/L. The dose remains at 200 mg/m2 per day for the first 5 days of each subsequent cycle except if toxicity occurs.

Radiation
