Details and patient eligibility

About

This study will evaluate the addition of regorafenib to standard of care treatment with TMZ as adjuvant therapy, and in combination with TMZ+RT as concomitant therapy.

The standard of care for newly diagnosed GBM (ndGBM) includes surgical resection to the extent that is safely feasible, followed by RT plus concomitant TMZ chemotherapy, and up to 6 months of adjuvant TMZ.

The dose escalation will be explored following a "3+3" design, escalating oral doses of regorafenib in combination with adjuvant (maintenance) TMZ (cohort A) to estimate the MTD of regorafenib as adjuvant (maintenance) therapy. After finding the MTD in the Adjuvant Therapy dose escalation, the Concomitant Therapy (cohort B) dose escalation will start, exploring escalating oral doses of regorafenib in combination with concomitant TMZ+RT, to estimate the MTD of regorafenib as concomitant therapy.

Inclusion criteria

Males and females of ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent form (ICF).
Subject must understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study-related assessments/procedures being conducted
Patients capable of taking oral medication
Subject is willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
Histologically confirmed Grade IV GBM/gliosarcoma (WHO criteria; non-IDH R132Hmutant by immunohistochemistry [IHC] or, sequencing for IDH1 and 2 in case of patients >55 years) established following either a radical or partial surgical resection. This includes treatment naïve (chemotherapy and RT) patients with prior histologically diagnosis of lower-grade astrocytoma that has been upgraded to a histologically verified glioblastoma after a subsequent definitive surgery.

NOTE: Patients with known isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) 1 and 2 are to be excluded.

Methylated MGMT according to local laboratory (in case of pyrosequencing, methylation >10%)
Subject must have recovered from the effects of surgery, including post-operative infections or complications. Toxicities resulting from surgery must have resolved to NCI CTCAE (v5.0) Grade ≤ 1 prior to starting regorafenib treatment (with the exception of Grade 2 alopecia).
For Concomitant Therapy Cohort: Prior tumor resection up to 7 weeks prior to the first dose of regorafenib.
For Adjuvant Therapy Cohort: Subject must have recently completed standard course of radiotherapy with TMZ chemotherapy, and then have an MRI documenting stable disease prior to the first dose of regorafenib (In case of "pseudoprogression" the patient will not be eligible)
For Adjuvant Therapy:
1. All AEs resulting from prior RT+TMZ chemotherapy must have resolved to NCI CTCAE (v5.0) Grade 1 (except for laboratory parameters outlined below).
2. Subject must have not experienced significant toxicity to prior RT+TMZ (i.e., Grade 4 hematological toxicity)
Subjects must have life expectancy of at least 6 months
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status (ECOG PS) of 0 to 1 (or KPS 70)
Corticosteroid use of dexamethasone 4 mg or less per day within 7 days before starting regorafenib.
Subject must have the following laboratory values at screening within 7 days before starting regorafenib:
1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L without growth factor support for 7 days (14 days if subject received pegfilgrastim).
2. Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥10 g/dL
3. Platelet count (plt) ≥100x 109/L
4. Serum potassium concentration within normal range, or correctable with supplements
5. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and serum glutamate pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN).
6. Serum total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN
7. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN or measured glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 50 mL/min/1.73 m2 using an exogenous filtration marker such as iohexol, inulin, 51Cr EDTA or 1125 iothalamate, or creatinine clearance of ≥ 50 mL/min using Cockroft-Gault equation.
8. Serum albumin > 3.5 g/dL
9. PT (or INR) and APTT within normal range
For women who are not postmenopausal (i.e., < 2 years after last menstruation) or surgically sterile (absence of ovaries and/or uterus) and who are sexually active: agreement to use an adequate method of contraception (oral contraceptives, intrauterine contraceptive device, or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly) during the Treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
For male patients who are partners of premenopausal women: agreement to use a barrier method of contraception during the Treatment period and for at least 6 months after the last dose of study drug.

Participants with type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are eligible to participate.

Exclusion criteria

2. Prior intracerebral agent.
3. Prior radiation treatment for GBM or lower-grade glioma.
4. Prior chemotherapy or immunotherapy for GBM or lower-grade glioma.
5. NOTE: 5-aminolevulinic acid-mediated photodynamic therapy and Flourcrescein administered prior to surgery to aid in optimal surgical resection is not considered a chemotherapy agent.
