Ixabepilone in Treating Patients With Recurrent Glioma - Full Text View

Sponsored by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Information provided by:	National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00045708

Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ixabepilone and how well it works in treating patients with recurrent glioma.

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the maximum tolerated dose of ixabepilone in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma who are receiving or not receiving cytochrome P450-inducing anticonvulsants.
Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in these patients.
Determine the response rate of patients treated with this drug.
Determine the toxicity of this drug in these patients.
Determine the 6-month progression-free survival, duration of progression-free survival, and overall survival of patients treated with this drug.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation, multicenter study followed by a phase II, safety and efficacy, multicenter study. For phase I only, patients are stratified according to cytochrome P450-inducing anticonvulsant use (yes vs no).

Phase I: Patients receive ixabepilone IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Courses repeat every 3 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3 patients receive escalating doses of ixabepilone until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.
Phase II: Once the MTD is determined, additional patients receive ixabepilone as above at the MTD.

Patients are followed every 2 months.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 10-15 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this study. A total of 22-33 patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 4-6 months.
