CCI-779 in Treating Patients With Malignant Glioma

Phase I/II Trial Of CCI-779 In Patients With Malignant Glioma

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of CCI-779 in treating patients who have malignant glioma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of CCI-779 in patients with malignant glioma.
  • Determine the safety profile of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the efficacy of this drug, in terms of survival and objective response, in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients in phase II are stratified according to use of enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) (yes vs no) and disease type (glioblastoma multiforme with stable neuro-imaging after radiotherapy vs recurrent malignant glioma). Patients in phase I must be currently receiving EIAEDs.

  • Phase I: Patients receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes once weekly. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of CCI-779 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

  • Phase II: Patients receive CCI-779 as in Phase I. Patients who are candidates for surgical resection of recurrent disease receive CCI-779 IV over 30 minutes 2 hours prior to surgery and then once weekly, as above, once recovered from surgery.

Patients are followed for survival.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 36 patients will be accrued for phase I of this study within 12 months. A total of 87 patients will be accrued for phase II of this study within 12 months.
