CC-5013 in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioma

April 29, 2015 updated by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)

A Phase I Trial Of A Thalidomide Analog, CC-5013, For The Treatment Of Patients With Recurrent High-Grade Gliomas

RATIONALE: CC-5013 may stop the growth of gliomas by stopping blood flow to the tumor.

PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of CC-5013 in treating patients who have recurrent glioma.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine the maximum tolerated dose of CC-5013 in patients with recurrent high-grade gliomas.
  • Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
  • Determine the antiangiogenic activity of this drug in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (yes vs no).

Patients receive oral CC-5013 weekly for 3 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of CC-5013 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at 2 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A maximum of 80 patients (40 per stratum) will be accrued for this study within 20 months.
