Comparing 4 approaches for high grade glioma

Exclusion

• −Organ Function Requirements 6.1 Adequate Bone Marrow Function Defined as:
• −Peripheral absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/μL
• −Platelet count ≥ 100,000/μL (transfusion independent, defined as not receiving platelet transfusions for at least 7 days prior to enrollmentEnrolmentThe number of participants a study plans to include, or has included.Read more →)
• −Hemoglobin \>8 g/dL (may receive transfusions) 6.2 Adequate Renal Function Defined as:
• −Serum creatinine within normal institutional limits OR Creatinine clearance or radioisotope GFR ≥ 70ml/min/1.73 m2 6.3 Adequate Liver Function Defined as:
• −Total bilirubin ≤ 2 × institutional upper limit of normal
• −AST(aspartate aminotransferase)/ALT(alanine transaminase) ≤ 2.5 × institutional upper limit of normal 6.4 Adequate Pulmonary Function Defined as: Pulse oximetry \> 94% on room air if there is clinical indication for determination (e.g. dyspnea at rest).
• −Adequate Cardiac Function Defined as: QTc ≤ 470 msec (by Bazett formula) 6.6 Adequate Neurologic Function Defined as: Patients with seizure disorder may be enrolled if on anticonvulsants and well controlled.
• −Informed ConsentInformed consentThe process of being told what taking part involves, then choosing freely.Read more →: All patients and/or their parents or legally authorized representatives must sign a written informed consent. Assent, when appropriate, will be obtained according to institutional guidelines
• −Exclusion CriteriaExclusion criteriaThe things that would prevent someone from taking part.Read more →:
• −Concomitant Medications
• −Investigational Agents/Drugs: Patients who have previously received or are currently receiving another investigational drug are not eligible.
• −Infection: Patients must not have any active, uncontrolled systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infection.
• −Patients who have received prior solid organ transplantation are not eligible.
• −Patients must not have malabsorption syndrome or other condition affecting oral absorption.
• −Patients must not be receiving any treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor or inducer. Discontinue strong CYP3A inducers for 3 plasma half-lives of the strong CYP3A inducer prior to treatment with loraltinib. Moderate inducers of CYP3A4 should be avoided
• −Avoid concomitant use of lorlatinib with certain CYP3A substrates, for which minimal concentration changes may lead to serious therapeutic failures. If concomitant use is unavoidable, increase the CYP3A substrate dosage in accordance with approved product labeling.
• −P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates: Lorlatinib is considered a moderate P-gp inducer. Co-administration of lorlatinib with P-gp substrates including but not limited to digoxin should be avoided as the concentration of these drugs may be reduced by lorlatinib.
• −Patients who in the opinion of the investigatorPrincipal investigatorThe doctor or researcher responsible for running the study at a site.Read more → may not be able to comply with the safety monitoring requirements of the study are not eligible.
• −Patients with a known personal history of acute or chronic severe psychiatric disorders or current history of suicidal ideation and history of suicide attempt.
• −Pregnant or breast-feeding women will not be entered on this study due to unknown risks of fetal and teratogenic adverse eventsAdverse eventAny medical problem that happens during a study, whether or not the treatment caused it.Read more → as seen in animal/human studies. Pregnancy tests must be obtained in girls who are post-menarchal. Males or females of reproductive potential may not participate unless they have agreed to use an effective contraceptive method.
• −Females of reproductive potential must use an effective non-hormonal method of contraception, since lorlatinib can render hormonal contraceptives ineffective, during study treatment and for at least 6 months after the final dose. Males with female partners of reproductive potential must use effective contraception during treatment with lorlatinib and for 3 months after the final dose.
• −Anti-cancer Agents: Patients who have previously received or are currently receiving other anti-cancer agents, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, monoclonal antibodies, biologic or targeted therapy, are not eligible
