Tandutinib in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma
Adult Brain Tumor, Adult Giant Cell Glioblastoma, Adult Glioblastoma
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Adult Brain Tumor
Eligibility Criteria
Criteria:
Histologically confirmed glioblastoma:
- Progressive or recurrent disease after prior radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy)
- Patients with a previous low-grade glioma that progressed after prior radiotherapy (with or without chemotherapy) and are found to have glioblastoma by biopsy are eligible
- Measurable disease, defined as contrast-enhancing progressive or recurrent glioblastoma by MRI or CT imaging within the past 2 weeks
- Must be maintained on a stable corticosteroid regimen from the time of baseline scan to the start of study treatment
Feasibility study only:
- Planning to undergo surgical resection or biopsy
- Stereotactic biopsy for confirmation of tumor progression or differentiation of tumor progression from treatment-induced effects allowed
- Corticosteroids must be tapered to the lowest required steroid dose and patient must be maintained on a stable dose after surgery or biopsy

- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective barrier method contraception during and for 3 months after completion of study treatment

- No gastrointestinal tract disease resulting in an inability to take oral medication or a requirement for intravenous alimentation
- No active peptic ulcer disease
- No other condition that would impair ability to swallow pills or absorb oral medications
- No muscular dystrophy
- No myasthenia gravis
- No other known or suspected primary muscular or neuromuscular disease
- No history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to tandutinib (e.g., erlotinib hydrochloride, gefetinib, or doxazosin mesylate)
- Patients who developed an acneiform/maculopustular rash while receiving either gefitinib or erlotinib hydrochloride are eligible unless the rash is considered an allergic reaction (angioedema/urticaria) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome
- No ongoing or active infections
- No psychiatric illness or social situations that would preclude study compliance
- No other serious infection or medical illness
- At least 3 weeks since prior chemotherapy (6 weeks for nitrosoureas)

- No other malignancy within the past 5 years except for basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix or breast
- Recovered from prior therapy
- At least 3 months since prior radiotherapy
- No prior surgical procedures affecting absorption
- No concurrent combination antiretroviral therapy for HIV-positive patients
- No other concurrent investigational agents
- No concurrent agent that would cause QTc prolongation
- No concurrent prophylactic growth factors (e.g., filgrastim [G-CSF] or sargramostim [GM-CSF])
- At least 10 days since prior and no concurrent anticonvulsant drugs that induce hepatic metabolic enzymes (e.g., primidone, oxcarbazepine, phenytoin, carbamazepine, or phenobarbital)

Arm 3 - Phase 2
Patients receive oral tandutinib twice daily for 7 days. Patients then undergo biopsy or surgery to remove the tumor. Within 2 weeks after biopsy or surgery, patients receive oral tandutinib twice daily* on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. conventional surgery oral tandutinib Pharmacological study Tissue samples
Phase I: Patients receive oral tandutinib twice daily* on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of tandutinib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. At least 6 patients are treated at the MTD. the starting dose for tandtinib is 500mg BID oral tandutinib Pharmacological study Tissue samples
