Brief Title
Feasibility of Individualized Therapy for Recurrent Glioblastoma
Protocol ID
NCT03681028
Lead Sponsor
Jennifer Clarke
Brief Summary
The current study will test the ability and likelihood of successfully implementing
individualized combination treatment recommendations for adult patients with
surgically-resectable recurrent glioblastoma in a timely fashion. Collected tumor tissue
and blood will be examined using a new diagnostic testing called University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF) 500 Cancer Gene Panel which is done at the UCSF Clinical
Cancer Genomics Laboratory. The UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel will help identify genetic
changes in the DNA of a patient's cancer, which helps oncologists improve treatment by
identifying targeted therapies.
Detailed Description
This is a single arm, non-randomized open-label study to assess feasibility of
implementing an individualized treatment regimen in patients with surgical recurrent
glioblastoma (GBM). Patients are not stratified according to demographic or
treatment-related parameters. Patients must have recurrent glioblastoma treated with
appropriate tumor treatment including radiation therapy at initial diagnosis. Surgery
must be clinically indicated and patients must be candidates for tumor resection at UCSF.
The goal of the current study is to build upon prior results by confirming the
feasibility of actually implementing patient-specific drug regimens in a rapid,
clinically-relevant timetable. The investigators will also assess for efficacy, safety,
and response outcomes of these patient-specific regimens, to generate preliminary data
that would support a larger trial assessing efficacy of such an approach.
Resected tumor tissue and blood will be examined using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS)
UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel at the UCSF Clinical Cancer Genomics Laboratory and Whole
genome and RNA sequencing. The clinical report generated from the NGS UCSF 500 panel will
be provided to a study-specific Tumor Board who will generate an individualized treatment
recommendation based on the report. The individualized treatment regimen potentially will
include up to 4 re-purposed, off-the-shelf, FDA-approved targeted agents. The Board will
identify the expected/anticipated drug-drug interactions and anticipated additional
toxicities of the combination of therapies. The treating physician is given the report,
discusses the suggested treatment options with the patient, and initiates treatment,
ideally within 28 calendar days (and no later than 35 calendar days) after surgery.
Patients may continue treatment until tumor progression, intolerable side effects, or
patient/physician choice to discontinue.

Enrollment Count
30 participants
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
1. Patient age must be >= 18 years
2. Patients must understand and provide written informed consent and Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) authorization authorization prior
to initiation of any study-specific procedures
3. Patients must have recurrence of histologically-proven glioblastoma or gliosarcoma,
World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV that is surgically resectable.
4. The patient's surgeon thinks that they can resect at least 500 mg of tumor.
5. Patient must have Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) score >=70
6. Patient must have an estimated life expectancy ≥ 3 months
7. Patients may enroll independent of number of prior therapies or cumulative doses of
prior therapies, but must have received appropriate prior therapy for GBM at time of
initial diagnosis, including radiation therapy.
8. Patient must have adequate bone marrow function, renal function, and hepatic
function as defined below:
Adequate bone marrow function:
1. absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >= 1,500/μL
2. Platelets >= 100,000/μL
Adequate hepatic function:
1. total bilirubin <= 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal
2. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) /serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase
(SGOT) <= 2.5x institutional upper limit of normal
3. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) / serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) <=
2.5x institutional upper limit of normal
Adequate renal function:
a. creatinine <= 1.5x institutional upper limit of normal OR creatinine clearance >=
60 mL/min/1.73 m2
9. Must be able to undergo MRI scans for tumor evaluation.
10. Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or
serum) within 7 days prior to surgery.
The effects of study drugs, either individually or their combination on the
developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of child-bearing
potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and
for the duration of study participation and for 3 months after completion of study
drug administration. The use of adequate contraception may be longer than 3 months
depending on the drugs used and the FDA-approved labeling in cases of recommendation
for contraception. Adequate contraception may include hormonal contraception,
barrier method (condom, contraceptive sponge, diaphragm or ring), intrauterine
device (IUD), tubal ligation, vasectomy and abstinence. Should a woman become
pregnant (or suspect that she is pregnant) while she or her partner is participating
in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or
enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the
study, for the duration of study participation, and 3 months after completion of
study drug administration. Patient must not be a woman who is currently pregnant,
due to the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects of study drugs, either
alone or in combination. Because there is an unknown but potential risk of adverse
events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with study drugs,
lactating women who are breastfeeding should discontinue breastfeeding if the mother
is treated with any study drug.
11. Patients must not have New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade II or greater
congestive heart failure
12. Patients must not have history of myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 12
months prior to study enrollment.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Patient who has been treated with any chemotherapy or radiotherapy ≤4 weeks prior to
date of study registration. Exceptions to this include: must be ≥ 23 days from last
dose of temozolomide (TMZ), must be ≥ 6 weeks from last dose of nitrosurea.
2. Patient who has not recovered to grade 1 or baseline from the adverse effects of
prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy.
3. Patient who is < 12 weeks from initial course of radiation
4. Patients with multifocal tumor, primarily infratentorial or posterior fossa tumor,
or leptomeningeal dissemination of tumor.
5. Patient with any other active malignancy besides GBM, excluding non-melanomatous
skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, prostate, or breast, unless patient
has been disease-free/in remission for >=2 years prior to date of study enrollment
6. Patients known to be HIV-positive. HIV testing is not required for study
participation.
7. Uncontrolled concurrent illness including psychiatric illness, or situations that
would limit compliance with the study requirements or the ability to willingly give
written informed consent.
8. Any other acute or chronic medical or psychiatric condition, or laboratory
abnormality that could increase the risk associated with trial participation or
trial drug administration or could interfere with the interpretation of trial
results, and, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient
inappropriate for entry into the trial.
