Actual Study Completion Date : | October 2013 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm 1
XL184 will be initiated at the start of the 6-7 week concurrent phase of RT (+TMZ; some subjects found to have specific gene activity in their tumor tissue may not receive TMZ), given as a single agent during the rest phase (4 weeks), if applicable, and continued subsequently in the maintenance phase.
|
Drug: XL184
XL184 will be administered daily as a single oral agent supplied as 25- and 100-mg capsules Drug: temozolomide TMZ will be supplied as 5-, 20-, 100-, 250-, 140-, and 180-mg capsules. The starting dose will be 75 mg/m2/day given daily with concurrent RT for 6 weeks
Other Name: Temodar® Radiation: Radiation Therapy Subjects will receive RT consisting of fractionated focal irradiation administered using 1.8-2 Gy/fraction, daily for 5 days/week for 6-7 weeks, for a total dose of up to 60 Gy. |
Experimental: Arm 2
XL184 will be initiated during the maintenance phase with TMZ
|
Drug: XL184
XL184 will be administered daily as a single oral agent supplied as 25- and 100-mg capsules Drug: temozolomide TMZ will be supplied as 5-, 20-, 100-, 250-, 140-, and 180-mg capsules. The starting dose will be 200 mg/m2/day given for 5 consecutive days and repeated every 28 days.
Other Name: Temodar® |
Experimental: MTD Expansion
XL184 will be initiated at the start of the 6-7 week concurrent phase of RT (+TMZ; some subjects found to have specific gene activity in their tumor tissue may not receive TMZ), given as a single agent in the rest phase (4 weeks), if applicable, and continued subsequently in the maintenance phase. Subjects in this group will receive XL184 and TMZ at the maximally tolerated dose levels determined in Arms 1 and 2.

- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of oral administration of XL184 added to first-line treatment for subjects with newly diagnosed GB [ Time Frame: Assessed at every visit to the study clinic ]
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of oral XL184 when added to the concurrent phase of treatment with TMZ and RT and when added to the maintenance phase of treatment with TMZ for subjects with newly diagnosed GB [ Time Frame: Assessed periodically as subjects are dose-escalted ]
- Determine the safety and tolerability of XL184 when administered in combination with first-line treatment throughout the concurrent, rest and maintenance phases in an expanded MTD cohort [ Time Frame: Assessed at each visit to the study center ]
- Evaluate the plasma pharmacokinetics of XL184 and TMZ when XL184 is administered in combination with TMZ, and of XL184 when it is administered alone, in subjects with newly diagnosed GB [ Time Frame: Assessed at 4 visits during the concurrent phase, 2 visits during the first maintenance phase cycle, and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter ]
- Evaluate the pharmacodynamic effects of XL184 (with or without TMZ) and RT in the first line treatment of subjects with GB. [ Time Frame: Assessed at 4 visits during the concurrent phase, 2 visits during the first maintenance phase cycle, and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter ]
- Evaluate the preliminary efficacy of XL184 (with or without TMZ) and RT in the MTD expansion cohort in the first line treatment of subjects with GB [ Time Frame: Assessed at 10 weeks and approximately every 4 weeks thereafter ]

- Must have had a partial or complete surgical resection of the Grade 4 astrocytic tumor.
- Subjects in Arm 1 must have had no previous treatment except surgery (ie, no previous RT, local chemotherapy, or systemic therapy). Subjects must meet certain other eligibility requirements.
- Subjects in Arm 2 must have completed a standard first line regimen of concurrent TMZ and RT for newly diagnosed GB, followed by a rest phase, and has not had any other previous treatment except surgery (including any other regimens of RT and local or systemic chemotherapy). Subjects must meet certain other eligibility requirements.
- Subjects must be able to undergo serial MRIs (computerized tomography [CT] may not substitute for magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]).
- Must be ≥ 18 years old.
- Must have a Karnofsky performance status of ≥ 70% and the ability to swallow whole capsules
- Must have no other diagnosis of malignancy (except surgically excised non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, treated early stage prostate cancer, or a malignancy diagnosed ≥ 2 years previously with no current evidence of disease and no therapy within two years prior to enrollment on this study).
