Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
Glioblastoma (GBM), WHO grade IV glioma, represents the majority of adult malignant primary brain tumors, with an incidence of 2-3 per 100,000 person-years. The survival for GBM has increased in the last decade but is still low with a median survival of 15-18 months. Recurrence after initial standard therapy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide, few options are available. Even with further therapy, median progression free survival at 6 months after first relapse (PFS-6) is only 15%. Similarly, anaplastic astrocytoma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma, grade III gliomas, once recurrent after radiation therapy and first-line chemotherapy, have identical therapeutic options and poor outcomes with PFS-6 of 31%. Temozolomide (TMZ) has a favorable side effect profile and is available orally, however, cytotoxicity occurs. Metronomic temozolomide at low doses on a continuous schedule, have demonstrated better survival in studies. This study will determine the recommended dose and the side effects of PCI-24781/Abexinostat with metronomic temozolomide.

- description
- Participants will receive a combination of PCI-24781/Abexinostat and temozolomide: loading dose of PCI-24781/Abexinostat prior to the start of Cycle 1, PCI-24781/Abexinostat by mouth twice a day starting 7 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1 and ending 4 days prior to Cycle 1, Day 1. Participants will continue taking PCI-24781/Abexinostat on days 1 - 4, 8 - 11, and 15 - 18 of each 28 day cycle, starting with Cycle 1, Day 1. The initial dose level is 60 mg of PCI-2478/Abexinostat by mouth twice daily. The dose level may be escalated based on results of interim data analysis. Participants will additionally initiate metronomic temozolomide on Cycle 1, Day 1 at a dose of 50 mg/m2, taken by mouth twice daily and continue the PCI-24781/Abexinostat and metronomic temozolomide regimen until disease progression or intolerance.

- Toxicities Associated with PCI-24781/Abexinostat and Metronomic Temozolomide Therapy - Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events
- timeFrame
- Up to 25 months
- description
- The incidence of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) will be recorded for each dose level cohort. Toxicities will be assessed using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0. Toxicities will be graded on from 1 to 5, with higher numbers indicating a higher severity grade.
