Study Summary

This is an open label study to determine the safety and preliminary evidence of a therapeutic effect of azeliragon in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma receiving concurrent radiation and temozolomide.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient must have histologically confirmed newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM, worldhealth organization (WHO) grade IV). The histological diagnosis must have been madeafter biopsy or neurosurgical tumor resection. Note: Patients should be isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type diagnosed locally

  2. The local O-6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase (MGMT) report determination shouldbe available and should be uploaded to the electronic case report form (eCRF).

  3. Patient should have had a gross total or subtotal resection performed < 7 weeksprior to enrollment, documented at postoperative MRI. Patients who have had a biopsyonly without resection are not eligible.

  4. Patient deemed suitable by the treating physician to receive the standardradiotherapy regimen in combination with temozolomide.

  5. Male or non-pregnant and non-lactating female and ≥ 18 to ≤ 70 years of age.

  6. Patient may have received and continue to receive corticosteroids, but must be on astable or decreasing dose for at least 14 days prior to first dose of studytreatment.

  7. Patient has not received prior chemotherapy or radiotherapy.

  8. Patient has adequate biological parameters as demonstrated by the following bloodcounts at Screening (obtained ≤ 14 days prior to enrollment) and at Baseline-Day 0:Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 109/L; Platelet count ≥ 75,000/mm3 (75 × 109/L); Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9 g/dL without transfusion or growth factor support

  9. Patient has the following blood chemistry levels at Screening (obtained ≤ 14 daysprior to enrollment) and at Baseline-Day 0:

  10. aspartate amino-transferase (AST)(SGOT), alanine transferase (ALT)(SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal range (ULN). Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN.

  11. Estimated creatinine clearance of > 60 mL/min (per Cockcroft -Gault formula)

  12. Patients with a QTC of ≤ 480 msec

  13. Patient has ECOG performance status of ≤ 2

  14. Patient has been informed about the nature of the study, and has agreed toparticipate in the study, and signed the Informed Consent Form (ICF) prior toparticipation in any study-related activities.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with a history of other malignancies, except: adequately treatednon-melanoma skin cancer, curatively treated in-situ cancer of the cervix, or othersolid tumors curatively treated with no evidence of disease for > 5 years

  2. Patients with a serious active infection (such as a wound infection requiringparenteral antibiotics) at the time of inclusion or other serious underlying medicalconditions that would impair the ability of the patient to receive protocoltreatment

  3. Patients with any condition (e.g. psychological, geographical, etc.) that does notpermit compliance with the protocol.

  4. Patients who have had treatment with any investigational cancer drug prior to thefirst dose of study treatment.

  5. Patient has experienced an increase of ECOG to > 2 between Screening and the time offirst dose with azeliragon.

  6. Patients receiving CYP2C8 inhibitors

  7. Patient is unwilling or unable to comply with study procedures, including, but notlimited to self-administration of oral medication.

  8. Patients with a gastrointestinal condition that could interfere with swallowing orabsorption.

  9. Females of childbearing potential who are sexually active or males with femalepartners of childbearing potential, where either the female or the male is unwillingto use a highly effective method of contraception during the trial and for 6 monthsafter the last administration of azeliragon.

  10. Patients with concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial oruse of another investigational agent within 14 days of starting azeliragon. Patientswho are participating in non-interventional clinical trials (e.g., QOL, imaging,observational, follow-up studies, etc.) are eligible, regardless of the timing ofparticipation.

Total Participants: 18

Primary Treatment: Azeliragon 20 mg

Study Description

Patients will receive involved field radiation therapy and temozolomide consisting of fractionated focal irradiation in daily fractions of 2 Gy given 5 days/week for 6 weeks, for a total of 60 Gy, plus concomitant daily temozolomide (TMZ; 75 mg/m2/day, 7 days/week from the first to the last day of radiotherapy), followed by six cycles of adjuvant TMZ (150-200 mg/m2/day for 5 days during each of six 28-day cycles.

Patients will receive azeliragon for up to 2 years or as long as the patient and study investigator feel that a therapeutic benefit is possible.

Patients will be accrued in groups of six starting with Dose Level 1. Escalation will continue as described in Table 2 until stopping rules are met or the highest defined dose level is reached. If Dose Level 1 is deemed intolerable, the trial will be closed to accrual.

The dose limiting toxicities (DLT) evaluation period will be defined as 28 days from initiation of dosing. The severity of adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v 5.0. For the purpose of dose-finding, any listed AEs occurring during the DLT period, which are attributable (definite, probable, possible) to azeliragon will be classified as a DLT. In addition, the RP2/3D will take into account dose-reductions, treatment interruptions, discontinuation, and toxicities after the DLT period.

RP2/3D was defined as the dose with 6 patients treated at that dose level with ≤ 1 DLT observed.
