Clinical Trial Summary

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, 3+3 dose escalation Phase 1 safety study. Adults with newly diagnosed GBM or gliosarcoma will receive macitentan in addition to the standard of care treatment for GBM. The study consists of a screening period, a treatment period, and a 30-day safety follow up period. The treatment period includes 6 weeks of concurrent therapy (macitentan+RT+TMZ), 4 weeks of monotherapy (macitentan) and 12 cycles of maintenance therapy (macitentan+TMZ). The study will end when the last treated subject has completed study treatment and the 30-day safety follow-up period.

The planned duration of the study is approximately 34-38 months depending on the number of dose levels and cohorts of subjects enrolled. Subject participation in the study will be for approximately 16 months.

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of subjects with dose-limiting toxicities observed during the first 10 weeks of study treatment (i.e., 6 weeks of concurrent therapy with macitentan, RT and TMZ and 4 weeks of monotherapy with macitentan).		Start of treatment to week 10
Secondary	Plasma concentrations of endothelin-1		Baseline, Weeks 2, 6, and 10
Secondary	Plasma concentrations of macitentan and its metabolite		Baseline, Weeks 2 and 6
Secondary	Area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUCt) for macitentan during one dosing interval for subjects treated with doses of macitentan 150 mg or higher		Week 4
Secondary	Peak plasma concentration (Cmax) of macitentan during one dosing interval for subjects treated with doses of macitentan 150 mg or higher		Week 4
Secondary	Time to reach peak plasma concentration (Tmax) of macitentan during one dosing interval for subjects treated with doses of macitentan 150 mg or higher		Week 4
Secondary	Number of adverse events (per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] criteria, version 4.03]) leading to premature discontinuation of study treatment		Starting from first dose of concurrent therapy (i.e., macitentan, TMZ, RT) until the end of treatment plus 30 days of follow-up
Secondary	Number of subjects with marked laboratory abnormalities or abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) findings		Starting from first dose of concurrent therapy (i.e., macitentan, TMZ, RT) until the end of treatment plus 30 days of follow-up
Secondary	Change from baseline in pulse rate, systolic & diastolic blood pressure		Starting from first dose of concurrent therapy (i.e., macitentan, TMZ, RT) until the end of treatment plus 30 days follow-up
Secondary	Exploratory efficacy endpoint of proportion of subjects with progression free survival (PFS) at 6 and 12 months		6 and 12 months after the start of treatment
Secondary	Number of adverse events (per CTCAE] criteria, version 4.03]) as a measure of safety and tolerability.		Starting from first dose of concurrent therapy (i.e., macitentan, TMZ, RT) until the end of treatment plus 30 days of follow-up
