ZD1839 FOR Treatment Of Recurrent Or Progressive Malignant Astrocytoma Or Glioblastoma And Recurrent Or Progressive Meningioma: A Phase II Study With A Phase I Component For Patients Receiving EIAEDs
OBJECTIVES:
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose of gefitinib in patients with recurrent or
progressive supratentorial malignant gliomas or brain or spinal meningiomas receiving
enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs). (Phase I of the study closed to accrual
as of 09/19/2003).
- Determine the toxic effects of this drug in these patients.
- Determine the pharmacokinetics of this drug in patients receiving EIAEDs.
- Determine the efficacy of this drug in terms of 6-month progression-free survival of
these patients.
- Determine the safety profile of the phase II dose of this drug in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter, dose-escalation study. Patients are stratified according to
concurrent enzyme-inducing antiepileptic drugs (EIAEDs) (yes vs no) and disease type (for
phase II only) (benign meningioma vs malignant meningioma vs hemangiopericytoma vs
glioblastoma vs other anaplastic glioma). (Phase I closed to accrual as of 09/19/2003).
Patients receive oral gefitinib once daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the
absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Cohorts of 3-6 patients (who are receiving EIAEDs) receive escalating doses of gefitinib
until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose
preceding that at which at least 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting
toxicity.
Patients are followed at 2 weeks.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A minimum of 30 patients will be accrued for the phase I portion of this
study within 10 months . (Phase I closed to accrual as of 09/19/2003). A total of 48
patients will be accrued for the phase II portion of this study within 6-8 months.
