Sponsors and Collaborators: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Bayer
Information provided by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00734526
  Purpose

Phase I:

To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sorafenib given during (concurrently with) external beam radiation therapy and daily temozolomide (75mg/m2), and with standard dose temozolomide (150-200mg/m2 5 days out of 28) after radiation therapy (adjuvant) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) or gliosarcoma.

To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of sorafenib given during (concurrently with) external beam radiation therapy and daily temozolomide (75mg/m2), and with dose dense temozolomide (100mg/m2 21 days out of 28) after radiation therapy (adjuvant) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.

To characterize the safety profile of sorafenib combined with temozolomide given during (concurrent) or after radiation therapy (adjuvant) in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.

Phase II:

Primary Aim:

To determine the efficacy of sorafenib in combination with temozolomide and radiation therapy for newly diagnosed glioblastoma as measured by progression-free survival.

Secondary Aims:

To determine the feasibility of using quantitative Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (QRT-PCR) in Ribonucleic acid (RNA) derived from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue to prospectively determine molecular phenotype in newly diagnosed GBM.

    • For patients on prophylactic anticoagulation therapy (low-dose warfarin):
    • INR level < 1.5;
    • Patients on prophylactic dose or full dose low molecular weight heparins are eligible provided that the patient has no active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding;
  21. Patients on full-dose anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) are eligible provided that both of the following criteria are met:

    • (a) Patient has an in-range INR (usually between 2-3) on a stable dose or oral anticoagulant or on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin.
    • (b) Patient has no active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding.
  22. If the patient's mental status precludes his/her giving informed consent, written informed consent may be given by the responsible family member.
  23. For females of child-bearing potential, negative serum pregnancy test within 72 hours prior to starting temozolomide
  24. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation. Men should use adequate birth control for at least six months after the last administration of sorafenib or temozolomide.

  13. Major surgery, open biopsy or significant traumatic injury within 4 weeks of first study drug.
  14. Use of St. John's Wort or rifampin (rifampicin).
  15. 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.
