A Cancer Research UK Phase I Trial of Olaparib (AZD2281), an Oral PARP Inhibitor, in Combination With Extended Low-Dose Oral Temozolomide in Patients With Relapsed Glioblastoma
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine whether olaparib crosses the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and achieves tumor
penetration in patients with relapsed glioblastoma. (Stage 1)
- To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of olaparib and
temozolomide in patients with relapsed glioblastoma. (Stage 2)
Secondary
- To assess BBB disruption and BBB permeability in patients with relapsed glioblastoma.
(Stage 1 and stage 2 maximum-tolerated dose [MTD] expansion cohort)
- To assess the possible anti-tumor activity of the combination of olaparib and
temozolomide in patients with relapsed glioblastoma. (Stage 2)
Tertiary
- To assess biological markers as possible predictors of olaparib efficacy in patients
with glioblastoma.
- To optimize techniques for measuring DNA damage responses to PARP inhibition in tumor
tissue.
- To determine plasma concentration of olaparib at the time of surgery in patients with
glioblastoma.
- To evaluate the PARP inhibition at the time of surgery in peripheral blood mononuclear
cells (PBMCs).
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study.
- Stage 1: Patients receive fixed-dose oral olaparib twice daily for 3 days prior to
resection and then receive a dose of oral olaparib on the morning of the resection.
After the surgical resection, patient receive standard of care treatment. Patients
undergo dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) and
diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) scans to assess the disruption and permeability of the
blood-brain barrier (BBB).
If it is proven that olaparib can cross the BBB and achieve tumor penetration as measured by
liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) in at least one out of six patients, then
new patients are recruited to stage 2 of the study.
- Stage 2: Patients receive escalating doses of oral olaparib once or twice daily for 3
days prior to resection and then receive a dose of oral olaparib on the morning of the
resection. After recovery from surgery, patients receive oral olaparib once or twice
daily and oral temozolomide once daily on days 1-42. Treatment repeats every 8 weeks
for up to 3 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients may receive 3 additional courses of treatment in the absence of disease
progression.
Once the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is established, 10 more patients are treated at the
MTD as stage 2 MTD expansion cohort. These patients also undergo DCE-MRI and DWI scans.
All patients undergo blood collection periodically for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic
studies.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days and then monthly
until resolution of study drug-related adverse events.
