Comparing 17 approaches for glioblastoma
Official title: A Trial to Evaluate Multiple Regimens in Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent Glioblastoma
GBM AGILE: Global Adaptive Trial Master Protocol: An International, Seamless Phase II/III Response Adaptive Randomization Platform Trial Designed To Evaluate Multiple Regimens In Newly Diagnosed and Recurrent GBM
Interventions
Temozolomide
Dosage Form: Capsule for oral administration Strengths: 5 mg, 20 mg, 100 mg, 140 mg, 180 mg, or 250 mg
Lomustine
Dosage Form: Capsule for oral administration Strength: 5 mg, 10 mg, 40 mg, and 100 mg
Regorafenib
Dosage Form: Tablet for oral administration Strength: 40 mg Standard Regimen: 160 mg orally (PO) every day (QD) for 3 weeks of every 4 week cycle (i.e., 3 weeks on, 1 week off)
Radiation
60 Gy
Paxalisib
Dosage Form: Tablet for oral administration Strength: 15 mg Standard Regimen: 45 mg orally (PO) every day for 28 days for the first cycle. If tolerated, increase dose to 60 mg orally (PO) every day for 28 days for all subsequent cycles
VAL-083
Dosage Form: Infusion for intravenous administration Strength: 40 mg per vial Standard Regimen: 30 mg/m2 on Day 1, 2 and 3 of 21-day cycle. The drug is available in powder form. It is reconstituted with 5 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection, USP. This will produce a solution of 40 mg VAL-083 in 5 mL. The required volume of reconstituted VAL-083 for the patient is then calculated at the rate of 30 mg/m2. The corresponding volume is further diluted into 250 mL of 0.9% Sodium Chloride for Injection, USP, prior to intravenous administration.
VT1021
Dosage Form: Infusion for intravenous administration Strength: 10 mg/mL Standard Regimen Newly Diagnosed: Dose as confirmed through the dose finding phase, administered twice weekly (Mon and Thurs or Tues and Fri or Mon and Fri). Standard Regimen Recurrent: 12 mg/kg administered twice weekly (Mon and Thurs or Tues and Fri or Mon and Fri). The drug is available as a sterile solution of the acetate salt formulated with phosphate-buffered saline, mannitol, and 2.5% polysorbate 80. The required volume stock solution for the patient is calculated. The corresponding volume is diluted in 500 mL of either 0.9% saline or D5W, prior to intravenous administration.
Troriluzole
Dosage Form: Capsule for oral administration Strength: 100 mg Standard Regimen: Dose as confirmed through the dose finding phase orally BID.
ADI-PEG 20
Dosage Form: Solution for intramuscular injection Strength: 11.5 ± 1.0 mg/ml Standard Regimen: For newly diagnosed patients, 36mg/m2. For recurrent disease patients, dose as confirmed through the dose finding phase intramuscularly once a week
AZD1390
Standard Regimen Newly Diagnosed: Given once daily on days of radiation and once daily for 14 consecutive days after completion of radiation.
Tinostamustine
Dosage form: Reconstituted powder for intravenous administration Strength: 2mg/mL Standard Regimen: Dose as confirmed through the dose finding phase, on Day 1 of 21-day cycle for up to 12 cycles in the maintenance phase.
