Study Description

Brief Summary:

Open-label, randomized, controlled, phase 3 safety and efficacy registration trial.

Subjects will be randomized at baseline to the standard of care for first-line treatment of glioblastoma plus Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) or the standard of care.

The standard of care for GBM will consist of temozolomide plus radiation therapy for 6 weeks followed by 28 days of rest followed by 6 cycles of post-radiation temozolomide treatment.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Glioblastoma	Drug: Trans Sodium Crocetinate plus SOC; Other: Standard of Care (SOC)	Phase 3

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Trans Sodium Crocetinate plus SOC; Trans Sodium Crocetinate plus the Standard of Care (SOC): SOC composed of radiation and temozolomide for 6 weeks followed by 4 weeks of rest followed by six (6) 28-day cycles of temozolomide	Drug: Trans Sodium Crocetinate plus SOC; Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) plus the Standard of Care (SOC): SOC composed of radiation and temozolomide for 6 weeks followed by 4 weeks of rest followed by six (6) 28-day cycles of temozolomide; Other Name: Trans Sodium Crocetinate (TSC) plus Standard of Care
Active Comparator: Standard of Care (SOC); Standard of Care (SOC): SOC composed of radiation and temozolomide for 6 weeks followed by 4 weeks of rest followed by six (6) 28-day cycles of temozolomide	Other: Standard of Care (SOC); Standard of Care (SOC): SOC composed of radiation and temozolomide for 6 weeks followed by 4 weeks of rest followed by six (6) 28-day cycles of temozolomide; Other Name: Standard of Care

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall Survival (OS) [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Overall survival will be calculated from randomization to the time of death from any cause

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Progression free survival will be calculated from the date of randomization to the date of first progression or death or last follow-up per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) and modified RANO criteria
2. Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Durable objective response rate (Complete Response [CR], Partial Response [PR]) will be estimated via radiological assessment per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) and modified RANO criteria
3. Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Functional status will be assessed by the investigators using the Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS): total KPS scores range from 100 (normal), 90 (minor signs of disease), 80 (some sign or symptoms), 70 (unable to carry on normal activity), 60 (requires occasional assistance), 50 (requires considerable assistance), 40 (disabled), 30 (severely disabled), 29 (very sick), 10 (moribund) to 0 (dead); total KPS score will be used to assess eligibility at baseline (KPS > 60) and to assess subjects performance through the trial relative to baseline
4. Quality of Life (EQ-5D-5L) [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Quality of life will be assessed using the EQ-5D-5L visual analog scale: The EQ-5D-5L will be used by the subject to assess their view of their quality of life; This scale is numbered from 0 to 100 with 100 meaning the best health the subject can imagine to 0 meaning the worst health the subject can imagine; the subject will complete this scale at baseline and at the end of radiation treatment, again prior to and at the end of post-radiation treatment
5. Corticosteroid Use [ Time Frame: All subjects will be followed for 24 months ]
   Corticosteroid medication use will be assessed throughout the trial

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subjects who are at least 18 to 70 years of age
2. Have histologically confirmed GBM
3. The only surgical consideration is biopsy. Subjects who had gross total resection, partial resection and/or debulking are excluded.
4. Measurable (>10mm x 10mm) contrast enhancing disease.
5. Limited disturbance of tumor during biopsy.
6. Surgical and pathology reports that document surgery was limited to biopsy and histologic confirmation.
7. Life expectancy of at least 3 months.
8. Subjects must have a Karnofsky score (KPS) of ≥ 60 at Screening.
9. Glucocorticoid therapy allowed.
10. Tumor Treatment Field (TT Fields) therapy allowed.
11. If female, the subject must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at Screening unless meeting non-productive potential criteria.
12. Subjects must have hematologic and renal functions as specified: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1500/mm3, platelets ≥ 100,000/mm3, Hgb ≥ 9.0g/dL, creatinine ≤ 1.7mg/dL, total bilirubin ≤ 1.5mg/dL, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) within 2 times the upper limit of normal, transaminases ≤ 4 times above the upper limits of the institutional norm.
13. The subject or subject's medical power of attorney has provided written consent to participate in this study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects who had gross total tumor resection, partial resection, and/or debulking surgery.
2. Subjects must not have had prior RT, chemotherapy (including Gliadel wafer), immunotherapy or therapy with a biologic agent, or hormonal therapy.
3. Subject who is pregnant or lactating.
4. Subject with a serious concurrent infection or medical illness that would jeopardize the ability of the subject to receive study treatment with reasonable safety.
5. Subject who cannot undergo MRI.
6. Subject receiving concurrent chemotherapeutics or investigational agents within 30 days of study entry, including gliadel wafers or gliasite application.
7. Subjects with other uncontrolled medical conditions, e.g. myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular accident, diabetes or hypertension.
8. Subjects diagnosed with another malignancy within 3 years prior to study start with the exception of adequately treated basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix.
