About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Brain Tumor

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Recurrent brain glioma with plan for resection or biopsy.
  • ECOG 0-2
  • Adequate labs

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Receiving other investigational agents.

Sites / Locations

  • University of Cincinnati

Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Letrozole

Arm Description

The treatment starting dose will be 2.5mg administered orally once daily. Daily doses up to 10mg and single doses of 30mg have been shown to be safe in prior studies and therefore we expect that letrozole doses up to 20mg in this study will be safe. The recommended phase II dose (RP2D) will be considered the dose that results in ≥ 2uM letrozole concentration in the tumor or the highest dose achieved (20mg daily for cohort level 7) with < 2/6 patients with DLTs. This dose will be planned for future phase II studies to determine potential efficacy.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Overall Letrozole AUC in tumor tissue.
Pharmacokinetic modeling will be used to determine the overall AUC in the tumor tissue to assess for letrozole penetration through blood brain barrier.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Adverse Events
The number of patients with treatment related toxicity will be assessed using CTCAE v4.0
Progression free Survival
Patients will be followed for response using RANO criteria to determine time from start of treatment to progression.
Overall Survival
Patients will be followed from start of treatment until time of death

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of letrozole to penetrate the blood brain barrier and concentrate in gliomas.
Detailed Description
Nine to forty-two (42 patients only if every cohort required expansion) total patients are planned for this phase 0/1 study to explore the ability of letrozole to penetrate the blood brain barrier and gliomas.
