Basic Trial Information

Phase	Type	Status	Age	Sponsor	Protocol IDs
Phase I	Treatment	Closed	Over 18	Other, Pharmaceutical / Industry	EORTC-16027 EORTC-26023, SPRI-P03174, NCT00083096

Objectives

Primary

1. Determine the maximum tolerated dose and dose-limiting toxicity of lonafarnib when administered with temozolomide in patients with recurrent primary supratentorial gliomas.
2. Determine the safety and tolerability of this regimen in these patients.

Secondary

1. Determine the mechanism of action of lonafarnib in these patients.
2. Determine the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of this regimen in these patients.
3. Determine the activity of this regimen in these patients.
4. Determine the response to this regimen in patients who have measurable disease.

Entry Criteria

• Fertile patients must use effective contraception during and for 3 months after study participation
• No unstable systemic disease
• No active uncontrolled infection
• No psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that would preclude study compliance and follow-up
• No other active or recurrent malignancy within the past 5 years except cone biopsied carcinoma of the cervix or adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer

Expected Enrollment

A total of 3-30 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outcomes

Dose-limiting toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of lonafarnib determined by CTCAE v3.0

Response (complete [CR] or partial response [PR]) measured by McDonald's criteria at least 4 weeks after first documented response and every 8 weeks until disease progression or until start of another treatment

Outline

This is a nonrandomized, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of lonafarnib.

Patients receive oral temozolomide once daily on days 2-6 of course 1 and on days 1-5 of all subsequent courses. Patients also receive oral lonafarnib 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 lonafarnib until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose at which 1 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. An additional 3 patients may be treated at the highest dose level achieved.

Patients are followed every 8 weeks for 6 months and then every 3 months thereafter.
