Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme Primary Glioblastoma Multiforme Brain Neoplasms, Malignant Leptomeningeal Disease (LMD) | Radiation: Radiation Therapy Drug: AZD1390 | Phase 1 |
This first time-in patients (FTIP), open-label, multicentre study of AZD1390 will be conducted in the United States and in the United Kingdom, and it consists of three treatment arms: Arm A, B, C. This Phase 1 study will assess safety and tolerability of AZD1390 in combination with radiation therapy (RT) in brain malignancies. The combination cohorts have been designed to assess escalating cumulative doses of AZD1390 in settings with 3 different radiation treatment regimens:
- Arm A: 35 Gy over 2 weeks with intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
- Arms B: 30 Gy over two weeks with whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT)/ partial brain radiation therapy (PBRT) in patients with brain metastases. **Arm B has now closed to recruitment**
- Arm C: 60 Gy over 6 weeks (IMRT) in patients with primary GBM Each arm provides standard of care RT for the disease setting indicated with the experimental agent being administered in dose escalating cohorts.
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 120 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | AZD1390 will be administered to patients in three different Arms (A, B and C), with each arm receiving standard of care radiation therapy (RT) for their disease setting. In arms A and C, AZD1390 will be administered in three cycles: Cycle 0 (before RT), Cycle 1 (during RT) and Cycle 2 (after RT). In arm B, AZD1390 will be administered in cycle 1 only (during RT). Within each arm, AZD1390 will be administered in dose escalating cohorts, first in an intermittent and then in a consecutive fashion, to achieve daily administration prior to RT. **Arm B has now closed to recruitment** For Arm A, there is an optional food effect assessment during cycle 0. *Note: the optional food effect assessment is currently not open to recruitment* |
