Mibefradil Dihydrochloride and Temozolomide in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioma
A Phase I Open Label Safety Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetic Profile and Tolerance of Mibefradil Dose Finding in Subjects With Recurrent High-Grade Glioma Undergoing Standard, Repeated Temozolomide Treatment
RATIONALE: Mibefradil dihydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the best dose of mibefradil dihydrochloride when given together with temozolomide in treating patients with glioma.

Detailed Description
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of mibefradil dihydrochloride administered prior to five days of temozolomide (TMZ) at 150-200 mg/m² in subjects with progressive or recurrent high-grade glioma.
Secondary
- Assess the safety of mibefradil dihydrochloride administered prior to five days of TMZ at 150-200 mg/m² when the mibefradil dihydrochloride dose is escalated from a starting dose of 100 mg/day, given four times a day for seven consecutive days.
- Determine the pharmacokinetic profile of mibefradil.
- Determine the steady state levels of mibefradil dihydrochloride on the last day of dosing.
- Assess the severity and frequency of adverse events for tested mibefradil dihydrochloride dose levels including cumulative toxicity and/or tolerance to adverse effects.
- Estimate the number and type of radiographic responses to treatment with mibefradil dihydrochloride and temozolomide.
- Assess the potential effect of mibefradil dihydrochloride on tumor metabolism as determined by Fluorothymidine Positron Emission Tomography (FLT PET) scans with the radiotracer [18F]-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine (dose-expansion cohort only).
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of mibefradil dihydrochloride followed by a dose-expansion study.
Patients receive mibefradil dihydrochloride orally (PO) 4 times a day on days 1-7 (days 1-8 on first course) and temozolomide PO on days 8-12 (days 9-13 on first course). Treatment repeats every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Blood samples are collected during the first course for pharmacokinetic studies.
Patients in the dose-expansion cohort undergo [18F]-3'-fluoro-3'-deoxy-L-thymidine (FLT)-positron emission tomography (PET) at baseline and on day 7 of the first course of therapy.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 2 months.

Description
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
- Subjects must be 18 years of age or older.
- Subjects must have histologically proven high-grade glioma (glioblastoma, anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, mixed anaplastic oligoastrocytoma, anaplastic ependymoma) that is progressive or recurrent following standard upfront radiation therapy + temozolomide.
- Subjects must have measurable contrast-enhancing progressive or recurrent high grade glioma (single or multiple lesions) by MRI within 30 days of starting treatment.
Subject must be able to tolerate MRIs. CT scans cannot be substituted for MRIs in this study.
* Dose Expansion Subjects Only: the area of contrast enhancement must be at least 1 cm in short axis dimension.
- Subjects must have recovered to CTCAE grade <2 from toxicities related to prior therapy. An interval of at least 3 months must have elapsed since the completion of the most recent course of radiation therapy, the last dose of temozolomide (TMZ), or placement of Gliadel wafers. No prior cytotoxic therapies other than temozolomide and Gliadel wafers are allowed. Prior anti-VEGF therapies are allowed if more than four months have elapsed from the end of prior treatment. 30 days must have elapsed since previous treatment of the brain tumor with any other agents.
- Subjects must have a plan for retreatment with temozolomide at 150-200 mg/m2 for 5-days per cycle; each cycle = 28 days. Subjects must have previously tolerated at least one cycle of adjuvant temozolomide therapy in the prior treatment of the glioma (at 150-200 mg/m2 for 5 consecutive days).
- Subjects must have a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60% (i.e. the subject must be able to care for himself/herself with occasional help from others).
Subjects must have the following organ and marrow function:
- Hemoglobin > 9 g/dL
- Absolute neutrophil count >1,500/mcL
- Platelets >100,000/mcL
- Total bilirubin <3 times institutional upper limit of normal*
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) <3 times institutional upper limit of normal*
- Creatinine within institutional upper limit of normal OR Creatinine clearance >50 mL/min/1.73 m2 for subjects with creatinine levels above institutional normal
- If above the institutional upper limit of normal but <3 times institutional upper limit of normal, the decision to initiate temozolomide treatment should carefully consider the benefits and risks for the individual patient.
- Subjects must have serum potassium, magnesium, and calcium levels within normal institutional laboratory ranges (may be corrected to those levels by supplementation during screening period).
- Subjects must be able to provide written informed consent.
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test prior to study entry. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (adequate barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
- Subjects must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder.
- Subjects with prior malignancies must be disease-free for ≥ five years.
- Subjects must be maintained on a stable or decreasing corticosteroid regimen (no increase for 7 days) prior to the start of treatment.
- Subjects must identify a caregiver/support person who will agree to assist with the remote cardiac monitor and taking/recording blood pressure at home.
