xPedite: A Study to Expedite DIPG and DMG Research

April 29, 2024 updated by: xCures

A Retrospective and Prospective Observational Sub-Study for Diffuse Midline Glioma and Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma

This study will gather data from new and existing patients with patient medical records, and patient/family/caregiver reported information to establish a clear natural history of disease suitable to serve as an external, contemporary or historical control arm for future therapeutic development programs of drugs, devices, or biologic interventions in DMG or DIPG.

Detailed Description

xPEDITE is a completely virtual, decentralized, nationwide,real-time, real-world observational study to collect, annotate, standardize, and report the critical data elements of DMG, inclusive of DIPG, in a regulatory-compliant framework. Patients participate by eConsent to the pan-cancer master observational protocol XCELSIOR (NCT03793088). This protocol is a sub-study of XCELSIOR and does not require an additional written consent. Medical records are accessed from institutions directly via eFax or paper fax, online from patient EMR portals, direct from DNA/RNA sequencing and molecular profiling vendors, and via electronic health information exchanges. Medical records are received or converted to electronic/digitized formats (CCDA, FHIR, PDF) and sorted by medical record type (clinic visit, in-patient hospital, out-patient clinic, infusion and out-patient pharmacies, etc.) and made machine-readable to support data annotation, full text searches, and natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to further facilitate feature identification. Data elements are annotated comprehensively and longitudinally from diagnosis to final outcome and include patient level clinical features required to report endpoints in DMG and DIPG clinical trials such as anti-cancer interventions, non-cancer medications, genomics/biomarker results, radiological endpoints, steroid use, vitals, demographics, and locations of care, among others. This study does not require data entry by treating site staff or physicians. Centralized data annotation is completed by xCures remote study staff. Data elements are annotated in a central electronic data capture (EDC) system and coded to Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership (OMOP)-based ontologies (SNOMED, LOINC, ICD-O-3, CTCAE, RxNorm, MedDRA, and others) in one process, permitting standardization of verbatim terms from medical records. Data is collected in a 21 CFR Part 11-compliant EDC system with formal QC/QA process, medical review, and source data verification. Beyond EMR data, raw DICOM images (MRI, CT files) are collected from all sites of care and de-identified. Imaging will be subjected to a blinded central radiological review to assess sizes, and response or progression. For all patients, genomics results (PDFs, variant call files, and raw FASTQ files when available) are collected from commercial and academic sources and centralized. Additionally, patient- and caregiver-reported outcome questionnaires (PROs) are collected to measure the impact of disease and medical care on the patient and family and others living around them to determine the aspects of care that are most important to them. Mobility and neurological assessments will be videoed and submitted at regular intervals to prospectively document changes in clinical status by expert electronic clinician-reported outcomes (ClinROs). Together, these clinical, imaging, biomarker, and assessment data will provide a comprehensive and longitudinal documentation of DMG and DIPG disease course.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Up to 400 patients of any age who have been diagnosed with diffuse midline glioma (DMG) or diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Diagnosis of diffuse midline glioma according to the WHO 2021 Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System diagnostic criteria including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG). In the absence of a pathologically confirmed diagnosis, a grade IV glioma involving the thalamus, hypothalamus, brainstem, cerebellum, midbrain, or spinal cord, or with a pontine epicenter and diffuse involvement of the pons.
  2. Patients with any performance status, comorbidity or disease severity are eligible
  3. Patients or their legally-authorized representative must be willing and able to provide electronic, informed consent (and assent, if applicable)
  4. Informed consent obtained for the XCELSIOR longitudinal outcomes registry (NCT03793088).
  5. Patients must be a resident of or receiving care within the United States or US territories.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient or legally-authorized representative is unable to provide informed consent.
  2. Patient or caregiver is unable to complete the PRO and ClinRO by an electronic platform.

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Survival (OS)
Time Frame: 12 months
OS is defined as time from first dose of treatment to death due to any cause.
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Objective Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 12 months
ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a documented complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by RANO or RAPNO.
12 months
Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR)
Time Frame: 12 months
CBR defined as the proportion of patients with a best overall response of complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as assessed by RANO or RAPNO
