Temozolomide With or Without Veliparib in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Multiforme

Overview

About this study

This randomized phase II/III trial studies how well temozolomide and veliparib work and compare them to temozolomide alone in treating patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Veliparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether temozolomide is more effective with or without veliparib in treating glioblastoma multiforme.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Histologic documentation: newly diagnosed World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV intracranial glioblastoma or gliosarcoma; GBM with oligodendroglial features are NOT PERMITTED in this study if they are 1p19q codeleted; sites submitting GBM with oligodendroglial features will be asked to provide results of 1p/19q codeletion status
  • Sufficient tissue available for central pathology review and MGMT methylation status evaluation
  • Patients who have had a local MGMT testing that is unmethylated are not allowed to participate
  • Tumor MGMT promoter hypermethylation determined by central testing at MD Anderson
  • Confirmation by central pathology review of WHO grade IV glioblastoma or gliosarcoma
  • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500 cells/mm^3
  • Platelets ≥ 100,000 cells/mm^3
  • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN; unless patient has Gilbert's disease
  • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN
  • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
  • Measurable disease or non-measurable disease; extent of resection: patients with complete resection, partial resection, or biopsy are eligible
  • Progression: patients deemed to have progressive disease based on clinical deterioration after chemoradiation or radiographic progression outside of the radiation field are not eligible; patients deemed to have pseudoprogression are eligible
  • Prior treatment:
    • Must have completed standard radiotherapy and concomitant TMZ therapy as defined and determined by the study oncologist
    • Besides concomitant TMZ with radiation, no other therapy (neo-adjuvant or adjuvant) can be given prior to study registration, including chemotherapy, biologics, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, or Novo-TTF-100A System
  • Not pregnant and not nursing; females of childbearing potential must have negative urine or serum pregnancy test within 7 days of registration but before start of treatment; a female of childbearing potential is a sexually mature female who: 1) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 2) has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months)
  • Concomitant medications: patients receiving anticoagulation should be on stable dose 2 weeks prior to registration
  • Comorbid conditions: patients are unable to participate due to the following:
    • Seizure disorder that is uncontrolled at the time of registration; the definition of controlled seizures is patients must be without seizures for at least 10 days prior to registration
    • Grade 3 or 4 thromboembolic disease within 6 months (mo) of registration
    • Known history of prolonged QT syndrome
  • No history of major surgery ≤ 14 days prior to registration
