PHASE I TRIAL OF GADOLINIUM TEXAPHYRIN (PCI -0120) AS A RADIOSENSITIZER DURING STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY BOOST FOR GLIOBLASTOMA MULTIFORME


PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Determine the frequency and grade of toxicity of gadolinium texaphyrin as a
radiosensitizer at two dose levels in patients with supratentorial glioblastoma multiforme
undergoing stereotactic radiosurgery.

II. Compare the tumor, normal brain, and plasma concentrations of this drug regimen to 1.5
and 8 Tesla MRI images in this patient population.

III. Determine if the 8 Tesla images provide more data than the 1.5 Tesla images in terms of
the radiosensitizing drug distribution in the tumor in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study.

Within 5 weeks following surgery, patients receive daily external beam radiotherapy five
days a week for 5 weeks. Within 2 weeks following completion of radiotherapy, patients
receive gadolinium texaphyrin IV over 2 hours followed 3 hours later by stereotactic
radiosurgery. Patients undergoing surgical debulking of tumor prior to external beam
radiotherapy receive gadolinium texaphyrin IV over 2 hours, 3 hours prior to surgery in
addition to the dose prior to stereotactic radiosurgery.

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

Patients are followed monthly for 3 months, and then every 3 months for 5 years or until
death.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 12-18 patients will be accrued for this study within 12-18
months.
