Clinical Trial Summary

The primary objective of step 1 is the rate of adverse events of minocycline and bevacizumab during reirradiation and of step 2 is the response rate to bevacizumab, reirradiation, and minocycline. The secondary objectives are the response rate, Progression Free Survival (PFS)-3, PFS-6, and effects on quality of life and cognition from repeat radiation and bevacizumab.

Description:

After providing informed consent, patients will undergo screening for eligibility to participate in the study. Screening will start within 21 days prior to dosing.

Subjects will have an MRI within 21 days of starting radiation. QOL and cognition measures will be performed within 21 days of starting radiation. Radiation will be given with parameters determined on an individual basis by the radiation oncologist. Bevacizumab will be continued at 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks. Minocycline will be given twice a day starting at 100mg PO bid. MRI, QOL, and cognitive tests will be obtained 1, 3 and 6 months after the end of radiation.

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Glioma
• Recurrent Glioma

Intervention

Drug:
• Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab will be administered in accordance with the FDA-approved dose for gliomas, 10mg/kg IV every 2 weeks. Bevacizumab will be continued every two weeks as long as tolerated. One cycle of bevacizumab will be 28 days, with treatments on day1 and day 15.
• Minocycline
Minocycline will be given by mouth twice a day at the assigned dose level. Minocycline will be started on the day prior to radiation and continued until progression or intolerance.

Radiation:
• Radiation
Radiation planning will be individualized by the radiation oncologist based on the location of the current radiation field relative to prior radiation doses. The length and fractionation will be determined individually by the radiation oncologist.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Number of Participants With Adverse Events	Adverse Events were assessed from start of minocycline treatment (one day prior to start of radiation therapy) until 28 days following the end of radiation therapy. Adverse events were assessed using the Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. Each event was assigned a grade (1-5), with lower grades indicating milder events. Events were categorized as severe (grade 3-4) or non-severe (grade 1-2). All adverse events were recorded, regardless of attribution to study treatment. Reported below are the number of patients who experienced any non-severe AE and the number of patients who experienced any severe AE. A full listing of AEs (severe and non-severe) are listed in the Adverse Events module of the Results section.	From first dose of study treatment to 28 days following radiation therapy (7-8 weeks)
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 3 Months	Proportion of patients who have not progressed 12 weeks after the end of radiation therapy. Radiographic Assessment in Neurooncology (RANO) criteria will be used to assess progression and response. Estimates were done by Kaplan-Meier methods to account for patients whose data was censored prior to progression.	From start of study treatment until 12 weeks after radiation therapy (15-16 weeks)
Secondary	Progression Free Survival (PFS) at 6 Months	Proportion of patients who have not progressed 26 weeks after the end of radiation therapy. Radiographic Assessment in Neurooncology (RANO) criteria will be used to assess progression and response. Estimates were done by Kaplan-Meier methods to account for patients whose data was censored prior to progression.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Tabulation of Tumor Best Responses	Tabulation of the best tumor response participants achieved from baseline through 26 weeks after the end of radiation therapy. Radiographic Assessment in Neurooncology (RANO) criteria will be used to assess progression and response.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Quality of Life Change Over Time	The M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory - Brain Tumors (MDASI-BT) scale was used to assess patients at baseline, 4 weeks post-radiation, 12 weeks post-radiation, and 26 weeks post-radiation. Means and standard deviations from baseline and 26 post-radiation are reported here. MDASI-BT is a 28 item assessment using a 0-10 scale. Part 1 contains 22 items and assesses severity of symptoms, with a score range from 0 to 220. Part 2 contains 6 items and assesses the degree to which symptoms interfere with daily life, with a score range from 0 to 60. The Total score adds Part 1 and Part 2 together to assess total symptom burden, with a score range from 0 to 280. For all parts of the assessment, higher scores indicate a lower quality of life and worse symptom burden.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Cognitive Change Over Time - DET	The Cogstate software was used to assess cognitive function at baseline, 4 weeks post-radiation, 12 weeks post-radiation, and 26 weeks post-radiation. Mean scores and standard deviations from baseline and 26 weeks post-radiation are reported here. Detection Test (DET) measures sensory registration, vigilance, and reaction time. DET is scored based on the speed of performance: mean of the log10 transformed reaction time for correct responses [measured in log10 milliseconds (MS)]. Lower scores meant a better performance.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Cognitive Change Over Time - IDN	The Cogstate software was used to assess cognitive function at baseline, 4 weeks post-radiation, 12 weeks post-radiation, and 26 weeks post-radiation. Mean scores and standard deviations from baseline and 26 weeks post-radiation are reported here. Identification Test (IDN) measures basic information processing and decision speed. IDN is scored based on the speed of performance: mean of the log10 transformed reaction time for correct responses [measured in log10 milliseconds (MS)]. Lower scores meant a better performance.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Cognitive Change Over Time - OCLT	The Cogstate software was used to assess cognitive function at baseline, 4 weeks post-radiation, 12 weeks post-radiation, and 26 weeks post-radiation. Mean scores and standard deviations from baseline and 26 weeks post-radiation are reported here. One Card Learning Test (OCLT) measures visuoperceptual learning and memory. OCLT is a score defined as the arcsine transformation of the square root of the proportion of correct responses to 80 OCLT questions. The transformed score ranges from 0 to 1.5708 where a higher score means better performance.	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
Secondary	Cognitive Change Over Time - GMLT	The Cogstate software was used to assess cognitive function at baseline, 4 weeks post-radiation, 12 weeks post-radiation, and 26 weeks post-radiation. Mean scores and standard deviations from baseline and 26 weeks post-radiation are reported here. Groton Maze Learning Test (GMLT) measures special learning and executive functioning, including working memory, error monitoring, and ability to integrate feedback to modify problem solving. GMLT score is the number of errors made (lower score indicates better performance).	From start of study treatment until 26 weeks after radiation therapy (29-30 weeks)
