Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well HIF-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 works in treating patients with recurrent glioblastoma. HIF-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the efficacy of hypoxia inducible factor (HIF)-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 (PT2385) as measured by radiographic response rate (by Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology, RANO, criteria) in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate the efficacy of PT2385 as measured by progression free and overall survival in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

II. To determine the safety of oral PT2385 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To describe the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of PT2385 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

II. To describe baseline intratumoral hypoxia using novel, advanced magnetic resonance (MR)-based neuroimaging sequences in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

III. To explore genetic polymorphisms involved in the metabolism of PT2385.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive HIF-2 alpha inhibitor PT2385 orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 2 months for 2 years and every 6 months thereafter.

• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study start; women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately; men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug

• Patients must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder; patients with prior malignancies must be disease-free for >= five years

• Patients must be able to swallow tablets

Exclusion Criteria:

• • Patients receiving any other investigational agents are ineligible

• Patients must not have received prior anti- Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy including bevacizumab (i.e. patients must be bevacizumab naive)

• Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to PT2385 are ineligible

• Patients on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED) are not eligible for treatment on this protocol; patients may be on non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs; patients previously treated with EIAED may be enrolled if they have been off the EIAED for 10 days or more prior to the first dose of PT2385

• Patients with a history of bleeding diathesis are ineligible

• Patients who have not recovered to < Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade 2 toxicities related to prior therapy are ineligible

• Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, clinically significant cardiac disease, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, are ineligible

• Pregnant women are excluded from this study; breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with PT2385

• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible due to potential drug-drug interactions with PT2385
