Brief Summary

This phase II trial studies how well dovitinib works in treating patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma. Dovitinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients: To determine 6 month progression-free survival (PFS6) in anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy or bevacizumab) naive patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) in patients treated with dovitinib

Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients: To estimate time to progression in patients with recurrent or progressive Glioblastoma who have progressed on anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

1. To evaluate the side effect profile of dovitinib in both patient populations.

2. To evaluate the efficacy of dovitinib as measured by objective response rate (ORR) in both patient populations.

3. To estimate time to percentage of patients free from progression at 6 months (PFS-6)in patients with recurrent or progressive Glioblastoma who have progressed on antiangiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy). (Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients)

4. To estimate time to progression in anti-angiogenic therapy (including anti-VEGF therapy or bevacizumab) naiVe patients with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) in patients treated with dovitinib. (Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients)

5. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) in both patient populations.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

To explore association between clinical outcome and potential biomarkers that may include microparticles, PlGF, PDGF-AA, PDGF-AB, PDGF-BB, SDF-1a, thrombospondin-1, Ang1, and Il-6, IL-8 and FGF.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive dovitinib orally (PO) 5 days a week. Courses repeat every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.

Conditions

Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma; Adult Glioblastoma; Adult Gliosarcoma; Recurrent Adult Brain Tumor

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Histologically confirmed glioblastoma, recurrent after standard external-beam fractionated radiotherapy and temozolomide chemotherapy
• Patients who have NOT received any anti-angiogenic therapy (Anti-VEGF, including avastin, cediranib, or other anti-angiogenic therapies like cilengitide) on Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients Arm. No more than two recurrences are allowed on Anti-angiogenic Therapy Naive Patients Arm.
• Patients who have received any anti-angiogenic therapy (Anti-VEGF, including avastin, cediranib, or other anti-angiogenic therapies like cilengitide) on Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients Arm. Any number of recurrences are allowed on Anti-angiogenic Therapy Patients Arm.
• Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60%
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 10^9/L
• Platelets ≥ 100 x 10^9/L
• Hemoglobin (Hgb) > 9 g/dL
• Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3.0 x ULN
• Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN
• Minimum interval since completion of radiation treatment is 12 weeks
• Minimum interval since last drug therapy 2 weeks since last non-cytotoxic therapy 3 weeks must have elapsed since the completion of a non-nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen 6 weeks since the completion of a nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen
• Patients must be able to provide written informed consent
• Patients with the potential for pregnancy or impregnating their partner must agree to follow acceptable birth control methods to avoid conception; the anti-proliferative activity of this experimental drug may be harmful to the developing fetus or nursing infant; female patients of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
• Patients must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix and breast, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the patient is in complete remission; patients with other prior malignancies must be disease-free for ≥ three years
• Patients must be maintained on a stable corticosteroid regimen from the time of their baseline scan until the start of treatment and/or for at least 5 days before starting treatment

Exclusion Criteria

• Patients who have undergone major surgery (e.g. intra-thoracic, intra-abdominal or intra-pelvic), open biopsy or significant traumatic injury ≤ 4 weeks prior to starting study drug, or patients who have had minor procedures, percutaneous biopsies or placement of vascular access device ≤ 1 week prior to starting study drug, or who have not recovered from side effects of such procedure or injury
• Patients with a history of pulmonary embolism (PE), or untreated deep venous thrombosis (DVT) within the past 6 months
• Patients with any of the following concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical conditions which could compromise participation in the study:

• Impaired cardiac function or clinically significant cardiac diseases, including any of the following:

• History or presence of serious uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias
• Clinically significant resting bradycardia
• Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) assessed by 2-dimensional (2-D) echocardiogram (ECHO) < 50% or lower limit of normal (whichever is higher) or multi gated acquisition scan (MUGA) < 45% or lower limit of normal (whichever is higher)

• Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol
• Any significant hemorrhage defined as > 1 cm diameter of blood seen on the MRI or CT scan. If > 1 cm of acute blood is detected, the patient will be ineligible for this trial.
