Trial Information

A Randomized Phase II/III Study of Vorinostat (IND# 71976) and Local Irradiation OR Temozolomide and Local Irradiation OR Bevacizumab (IND# 7921) and Local Irradiation Followed by Maintenance Bevacizumab and Temozolomide in Children With Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To identify the dose of vorinostat that is feasible when given in combination with
radiotherapy (RT) in patients with newly diagnosed high-grade gliomas (HGG). II. To compare
1-year event-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed HGG treated with vorinostat
(using MTD) versus bevacizumab versus temozolomide when given in combination with RT
followed by maintenance therapy with bevacizumab and temozolomide. (Phase II) III. To
compare the event-free survival of patients with newly diagnosed HGG treated with the
superior chemoradiotherapy (from phase II portion) versus temozolomide given in combination
with RT followed by maintenance chemotherapy with bevacizumab and temozolomide. (Phase III)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the anti-tumor activity, as measured by event-free survival (EFS),
progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS), of patients with newly diagnosed
HGG treated with vorinostat, bevacizumab, or temozolomide when given in combination with RT
followed by maintenance chemotherapy with bevacizumab and temozolomide. II. To define and
evaluate the toxicities of each of the treatment arms of the study.

III. To conduct gene expression profiling and SNP arrays in patients with newly diagnosed
HGG.

IV. To assess telomerase activity, hTert expression, and telomere length in patients with
newly diagnosed HGG. V. To document changes in perfusion and diffusion using MR imaging at
baseline, prior to, during (prior to course 3), and after maintenance therapy with
bevacizumab and temozolomide.

VI. To correlate functional changes in tumor with responses to bevacizumab treatment using
MR diffusion/perfusion imaging. VII. To correlate the results of the bevacizumab biology
studies in serum or tumor with EFS.

VIII. To explore the prognostic significance of MGMT status for patients newly diagnosed
with HGG treated with combined surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, and anti-angiogenic
therapy.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, feasibility, dose-escalation study of vorinostat, followed
by a phase II study, followed by a phase III study.

FEASIBILITY STUDY: Patients undergo 3-D conformal radiotherapy (RT) or intensity-modulated
RT 5 days a week for 6 weeks. Patients also receive vorinostat orally (PO) once daily on
days 1-5. Courses repeat every week for 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

MAINTENANCE THERAPY: Beginning 4 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy, patients
receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on days 1 and 15 and temozolomide PO on days 1-5.
Treatment repeats every 28 days for 12 courses in the absence of disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity.

PHASE II STUDY: Patients are stratified according to extent of resection (near total
resection or gross total resection vs other) and histology (glioblastoma multiforme vs
other). Patients are randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.

ARM I: Patients undergo RT 5 days a week for 6 weeks and receive vorinostat at the
maximum-tolerated dose determined in the feasibility study.

ARM II: Patients undergo RT as in arm I and receive temozolomide PO once daily for 42 days
beginning on day 5 of RT.

ARM III: Patients undergo RT as in arm I and receive bevacizumab IV over 30-90 minutes on
days 22 and 36. Patients in all arms receive maintenance therapy as in the feasibility
study.

PHASE III study: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

ARM IV: Patients receive RT and temozolomide as in phase II, arm II.

ARM V: Patients receive treatment as in phase II, arm I or phase II, arm III, whichever was
established as the superior chemoradiotherapy arm in phase II. Patients in all arms receive
maintenance therapy as in the feasibility study. Some patients undergo blood and tumor
tissue sample (from surgery) collection for telomerase activity, hTert expression, telomere
length, and gene expression profiling and SNP arrays analysis.

After completion of study therapy, patients are followed up every 3 months for 1 year, every
6 months for 4 years, and then annually for 5 years.
