Trial Information

A Phase I/II Study of Col-3 Administered on a Continuous Daily Oral Schedule in Patients With Recurrent High-Grade Astrocytoma


OBJECTIVES:

- Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose limiting toxicity, and safety profile of
oral COL-3 alone or when combined with anticonvulsants known to be metabolized by
CYP450 in patients with progressive or recurrent high grade anaplastic astrocytoma,
anaplastic oligodendroglioma, or glioblastoma multiforme.

- Define the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of COL-3 on this schedule and
determine the effects of hepatic enzyme inducing drugs, such as anticonvulsants, on the
pharmacokinetics.

- Determine the response rate, disease free survival, and survival in patients treated
with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study of COL-3. Patients are stratified by
anticonvulsant (anticonvulsants that cause induction of CYP450 vs anticonvulsants that cause
modest or no induction of CYP450 or no anticonvulsant).

- Phase I: Patients receive oral COL-3 daily. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of COL-3 until the maximum tolerated dose
(MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients
experience dose limiting toxicity.

- Phase II: Patients receive oral COL-3 daily at the MTD from the phase I portion of this
study.

Patients are followed every 2 months until death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-18 patients will be accrued for phase I of the study and a
total of 35 patients will be accrued for phase II of the study at a rate of 3 patients per
month.
