Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- First or second progression of Glioblastoma;
- Measurable disease by RANO criteria at progression;
- Patients ≥18 years of age;
- Patient may have been operated for recurrence. If operated: residual and measurable disease after surgery is required;
- Surgery completed at least 28 days before randomization;
- An interval of at least 12 weeks between prior radiotherapy or at least 23 days from prior chemotherapy, 42 days from nitrosoureas and enrollment in this study;
- Adequate performance, i.e."Karnofsky Performance Score" of at least 70%;
-
Adequate renal, liver, and bone marrow function according to the following criteria:
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500 cells/ml,
- Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/ml,
- Total bilirubin within upper limit of normal (ULN),
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.0 X ULN,
- Serum creatinine level ≤ ULN or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 ml/min for patients with creatinine levels above normal limits (creatinine clearance calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula, see Appendix II),
- PT, PTT (in seconds) not to be prolonged beyond >20% of the upper limits of normal.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Prior anti-angiogenic therapy including VEGF sequestering agents (i.e. bevacizumab, aflibercept, etc.) or VEGFR inhibitors (cedirinib, pazopanib, sunitinib, sorafenib, etc.);
- Prior stereotactic radiotherapy;
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients;
- Concomitant medication that may interfere with study results; e.g. immunosuppressive agents other than corticosteroids;
- Active infection;
- Evidence of significant CNS haemorrhage i.e. CTCAE grade 2 or above;
- Expected to have surgery during study period;
- Patients with active vascular disease, either myocardial or peripheral (i.e. acute coronary syndrome, cerebral stroke, transient ischemic attack or arterial thrombosis or symptomatic peripheral vascular disease within the past 3 months);
- Patients with known proliferative and/or vascular retinopathy;
- Patients with known liver disease (alcoholic, drug/toxin induced, genetic, or autoimmune);
- Patients with known active second malignancy other than non-melanoma skin cancers, non-metastatic prostate cancer, in situ cervical cancer, and ductal or lobular carcinoma in situ of the breast. Patients are not considered to have a currently active malignancy if they have completed anticancer therapy and have been disease free for greater than 2 years prior to screening;
- Patients testing positive to one of the following viruses: HIV, HBV and HCV within the last 6 months;
- Patients that have undergone major surgery within the last 4 weeks before enrollment;
- Patients who have received treatment with any other investigational agent within 4 weeks before enrollment.
