Reirradiation and Niraparib in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (RiNG)

March 22, 2024 updated by: University College, London

Reirradiation (Re-RT) and Niraparib (NIRA) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma (rGBM)

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate a drug called niraparib in patients with glioblastoma that was previously treated but has returned (called recurrent glioblastoma, or rGBM).

Through this study, investigators would like to find out the best dose of niraparib to give to treat the disease when given together with radiotherapy (known in this study as reirradiation, or re-RT).

Patients receive 10 doses of reirradiation over approximately 2 weeks. At the same time, niraparib capsules are taken orally at home, every day. Niraparib treatment continues until the patient is required to stop either because the treatment stops working or because of side-effects.

Participants will come into clinic weekly for blood tests and clinical examinations in the first month of treatment. After this, the assessments will be done monthly.

Once the patient has finished niraparib treatment, the patient will enter follow-up and be seen once a year to see if there are any late side-effects from trial treatment, how the disease is doing, and if further treatments have been received for it. This follow-up continues until the end of the trial.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Niraparib and re-irradiation (re-RT)

Patients will be treated with IMRT-based re-RT for a total dose of 35 Gy in 10 daily fractions over approx. 2 weeks. Patients will take niraparib daily from the first day of re-RT until documented progression or discontinuation due to unacceptable treatment-related toxicity or any other cause (whichever occurs sooner).

Patients will be recruited in cohorts of 3. Following the completion of each dosing cohort and once the patients have completed the dose limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment window, the independent data monitoring committee (IDMC) will review the data for each patient. In conjunction with the statistical recommendations from the continual reassessment method (CRM), the IDMC will advise whether the dose for the next cohort should be escalated, de-escalated or stay at the current niraparib dose.

100 mg, 200 mg, or 300mg oral niraparib once daily.
