Testing Ramipril to Prevent Memory Loss in People With Glioblastoma

February 20, 2024 updated by: Wake Forest University Health Sciences

A Single Arm, Pilot Study of Ramipril for Preventing Radiation-Induced Cognitive Decline in Glioblastoma (GBM) Patients Receiving Brain Radiotherapy

This study is to determine if an oral drug called Ramipril can lower the chance of memory loss in patients with glioblastoma getting chemoradiation. Patients will take Ramipril during chemoradiation and continue until 4 months post-treatment. Memory loss will be assessed using several neurocognitive tests throughout the duration of the study.

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study of an oral drug Ramipril to prevent cognitive decline in glioblastoma patients receiving partial brain radiation and concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide . Ramipril will be titrated to the highest tolerable dose during chemoradiation (2.5-5 mg). Once this dose is determined, the patient will continue at this dose for 4 months after the completion of chemoradiation. Patients will be followed until 5 months post chemoradiation for compliance, toxicity, cognitive decline and participant reported outcomes (PRO).

  • Patient must provide study specific informed consent prior to study entry
  • Baseline potassium level <5.0 mEq/L. High potassium values that are thought to be a result of sample hemolysis may be repeated to determine an accurate potassium level and to determine potential study eligibility. Likewise high potassium values thought to be a result of potassium supplementation may be repeated at an appropriate time (5 half-lives after supplement discontinuation) to determine potential study eligibility.

Patient must be able to complete neurocognitive tests in the English language

  • Women of childbearing potential and male participants must practice adequate contraception
  • For females of child-bearing potential, negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 14 days of enrollment
  • Local site must be follow the standard GBM radiation treatment dosimetry plan
  • For patients who will be treated with the Optune® device in addition to standard of care radiation plus concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide, the following inclusion criteria also apply:
  • Patients must have only a supratentorial glioblastoma
  • The treating physician must be a qualified provider having successfully completed the training course provided by Novocure, the device manufacturer
  • Patients with prior malignancies if all treatment for that malignancy was completed at least 2 years before registration and the patient has no evidence of disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Prior allergic reaction or intolerance to angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor

  • Severe active co-morbidity, defined as follows:
  • Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of enrollment
  • Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of enrollment.
  • Known HIV positivity or acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current CDC definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude patients with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive.
  • Active connective tissue disorders, such as lupus or scleroderma, that in the opinion of the treating physician may put the patient at high risk for radiation toxicity.
  • Any other major medical illnesses or psychiatric impairments that in the investigator's opinion will prevent administration or completion of protocol therapy.
  • Pregnancy or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception; this exclusion is necessary because the treatment involved in this study may be significantly teratogenic.
  • Patients treated on any other therapeutic clinical protocols within 30 days prior to study entry or during participation in the study unless they involve standard of care or over the counter therapies or do not involve a drug therapy.
  • Patients planning to receive therapeutic antitumor agents (excluding use of the Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields or Optune®) device after the Month 1 Post RT (10 wk) Neurocognitive-PRO assessment.) in addition to standard radiation and concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide are not eligible to participate in this study.
  • Patients with impaired decision-making capacity; this exclusion is necessary because such patients may not be able to adequately give informed consent.
  • Pregnant or lactating women, due to possible adverse effect on the developing fetus or infant due to study drug.
  • For patients who will be treated with the Optune® device in addition to standard of care radiation plus concurrent and adjuvant temozolomide, the following exclusion criteria also apply:
  • Optune® is not permitted in patients who have an active implanted medical device, skull defect (such as, missing bone with no replacement) or bullet fragments. Examples of active electronic devices include deep brain stimulators, spinal cord stimulators, vagus nerve stimulators, pacemakers, defibrillators, and programmatic shunts.
  • Optune® is not permitted in patients who are known to be sensitive to conductive hydrogels. Examples of conductive hydrogels are gels used on electrocardiogram (ECG) stickers or transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) electrodes.
  • Patients being treated with Memantine, Donepezil, and/or medications prescribed to enhance cognition.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline Neurocognitive Function at 10 weeks - Hopkins Verbal Learning Test-Revised (HVLT-R)
Time Frame: Baseline,10 weeks
HVLT-R measures verbal learning and memory. It consists of a 12-item word list which is read to subjects on three successive learning trials. Free recall scores are recorded for each learning trial. Scores for immediate recall (total of three trials), delayed recall (total number of words recalled after 20 minutes), and recognition (total number of words correctly identified) will be the variables derived from the HVLT-R.
Baseline,10 weeks
Change from Baseline Neurocognitive Function at 10 weeks - Trail Making Test Part A and B (TMT A & B)
Time Frame: Baseline,10 weeks
Part A of the TMT measures attention and visual motor skills and processing speed and requires subjects to connect 25 numbered circles in the proper sequence (1-2-3-…) as quickly as possible. TMT-B is similar except subjects are required to connect dots in an alternating numerical and alphabetical sequence (1-A-2-B-…). TMT-B with its added complexity and set shifting requirements is a widely used measure of executive function. The score for TMT-A and TMT-B is the total time in seconds required to complete the task. Scores can also be generated for number of errors and number of circles correctly connected.
Baseline,10 weeks
Change from Baseline Neurocognitive Function at 10 weeks - Controlled Oral Word Association Test (COWA)
Time Frame: Baseline,10 weeks
The COWA measures speed of mental processing, verbal fluency, and executive function. Subjects are asked to name as many words as possible all beginning with a specified letter. A total of three trials are administered, each with a different letter (F-A-S). The score on the COWA is the total number of words named across the three trials minus repetitions.
Baseline,10 weeks
Efficacy of Ramipril of Neurocognitive Function at Baseline - Shipley Institute of Living Scale-Version 2 Vocabulary
Time Frame: Baseline
Provides an assessment of premorbid intellectual functioning comparable to a verbal IQ and thus is a proxy for cognitive reserve. This vocabulary test requires respondents to read a target word and select one of four words that most closely means the same thing. Score is total correct of 40 items and will be used in conjunction with the other neurocognitive results.
Baseline
Retention Rate at 10 weeks
Time Frame: 10 weeks
Measured by the percent of patients who took 75% of the Ramipril doses and completed the neurocognitive battery of tests
10 weeks
