Objectives

Primary

  1. Determine the 6-month progression-free survival rate in operative patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma multiforme treated with cilengitide.

Secondary

  1. Determine the safety and toxicity of this drug in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Histologically confirmed intracranial glioblastoma multiforme (GBM)
    • Original diagnosis of low-grade glioma with subsequent histological confirmation of GBM allowed
    • Recurrent disease
      • Failed prior radiotherapy


  • Must require a surgical procedure (gross total or near gross total resection) for tumor removal


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

Biologic therapy

  • At least 3 weeks since prior interferon
  • No prior cilengitide
  • No other prior targeted antiangiogenic treatment (e.g., vatalanib, SU5416, or thalidomide)
  • No concurrent anticancer immunotherapy
  • No concurrent routine prophylactic filgrastim (G-CSF)

Chemotherapy

  • At least 2 weeks since prior vincristine
  • At least 3 weeks since prior procarbazine
  • At least 6 weeks since prior nitrosoureas
  • No concurrent anticancer chemotherapy

Endocrine therapy

  • At least 3 weeks since prior tamoxifen
  • No concurrent anticancer hormonal therapy

Radiotherapy

  • See Disease Characteristics
  • At least 4 weeks since prior radiotherapy
  • No concurrent anticancer radiotherapy

Surgery

  • Not specified

Other

  • Recovered from all prior therapies
  • No more than 3 prior treatments for GBM (1 initial treatment; and treatment for 2 relapses)
    • For patients who received prior therapy for low-grade glioma, a subsequent surgical diagnosis of high-grade glioma is considered the first relapse
  • At least 4 weeks since prior investigational agents
  • At least 4 weeks since prior cytotoxic therapy
  • At least 3 weeks since other prior non-cytotoxic therapy (e.g., isotretinoin), except radiosensitizers
  • No other concurrent anticancer therapy
  • No other concurrent investigational agents

Patient Characteristics:

Age

  • 18 and over

Performance status

  • Karnofsky 60-100%

Life expectancy

  • Not specified

Hematopoietic

  • WBC ≥ 3,000/mm3
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mm3
  • Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3
  • Hemoglobin ≥ 10 g/dL (transfusion allowed)

Hepatic

  • SGOT < 2 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Bilirubin < 2 times ULN

Renal

  • Creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL

Other

  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • Negative pregnancy test
  • Fertile patients must use effective barrier contraception during and for ≥ 2 weeks after study participation (for female patients) or for 3 months after study participation (for male patients)
  • No other malignancy within the past 3 years except nonmelanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix
  • No active infection
  • No other significant uncontrolled medical illness that would preclude study participation

Expected Enrollment

44

A total of 44 patients (22 per preoperative treatment group) will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups for the preoperative treatment component.

Preoperative Treatment

  • Group I: Patients receive high-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour on days –8, -4, and –1.


  • Group II: Patients receive low-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour on days –8, -4, and –1.


Resection: All patients undergo tumor resection on day 0.

Postoperative Treatment: Beginning within 2 weeks after surgery, all patients receive high-dose cilengitide IV over 1 hour twice weekly for 4 weeks. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 24 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed every 3 months.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
