NCT00667394

Brief Summary

Background: In order to survive, brain tumors must have a network of blood vessels to supply it with oxygen and nutrients. The tumors produce substances that enable new blood vessels to form. Tandutinib and Bevacizumab are experimental drugs that may prevent new blood vessel formation and thereby slow or stop tumor growth in the brain. Objectives: To determine the safety and side effects of Tandutinib in combination with Bevacizumab in patients with brain tumors. To evaluate the response of brain tumors to treatment with Tandutinib and Bevacizumab. Eligibility: Patients 18 years of age and older with a malignant brain tumor for whom standard treatments (surgery, radiation and chemotherapy) are no longer effective. Design: Patients receive treatment in 4-week cycles as follows: Tandutinib by mouth twice a day every day and intravenous (through a vein) infusions of Bevacizumab over 90 minutes (or less if well tolerated) every 2 weeks. Treatment may continue for up to 1 year, and possibly longer, as long as there are no signs of tumor growth or serious treatment side effects. Patients are evaluated with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans before starting treatment and then periodically to determine the response to treatment. Patients have physical and neurological examinations every 4 weeks and blood tests every 2 weeks. They complete quality of life questionnaires every 4 weeks.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Progression-free Survival at 6 Months

    Percentage of participants with progression free survival at 6 months. Progression is defined as a 25% increase in the sum of all measurable lesions (or two largest lesions if too numerous) over the smallest sum observed (over baseline if no decrease), clear worsening of any evaluable disease, appearance of any new lesion/site, or failure to return for evaluation due to death or deteriorating condition (unless clearly unrelated to this cancer).

    6 months

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants With Adverse Events

    45 months

Study Arms (2)

Tandutinib & Bevacizumab in GBM Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

GBM (glioblastoma multiforme) Tandutinib 500 mg by mouth daily dose twice a day. Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg dose intravenous repeated once every 2 weeks.

Biological: BevacizumabDrug: MLN-518 (Tandutinib)Procedure: Quality-of-life assessment

Tandutinib & Bevacizumab in AG Patients

EXPERIMENTAL

AG (anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, anaplastic mixed oligoastrocytoma, and malignant astrocytoma NOS (not otherwise specified)) Tandutinib 500 mg by mouth daily dose twice a day. Bevacizumab 10 mg/kg dose intravenous repeated once every 2 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with histologically proven intracranial malignant glioma will be eligible for this protocol.
  • Malignant glioma includes glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), gliosarcoma, anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO), anaplastic mixed oligoastrocytoma (AMO), or malignant astrocytoma NOS (not otherwise specified).
  • Patients must have evidence for tumor progression by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan.
  • This scan should be performed within 14 days prior to registration and on a fixed dose of steroids for at least 5 days.
  • If the steroid dose is increased between the date of imaging and registration a new baseline MRI/CT is required.
  • The same type of scan, i.e. MRI or CT must be used throughout the period of protocol treatment for tumor measurement.
  • Patients having undergone recent resection of recurrent or progressive tumor will be eligible as long as all of the following conditions apply:
  • They have recovered from the effects of surgery.
  • Residual disease following resection of recurrent tumor is not mandated for eligibility into the study.
  • To best assess the extent of residual disease post-operatively, a CT/ MRI should be done:
  • no later than 96 hours in the immediate post-operative period or
  • at least 4 weeks post-operatively, and
  • within 14 days of registration, and
  • on a steroid dosage that has been stable for at least 5 days.
  • If the 96 hour scan is more than 21 days before registration, the scan needs to be repeated.
  • +14 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who, in the view of the treating physician, have significant active cardiac, hepatic, renal, or psychiatric diseases are ineligible.
  • No concurrent use of other standard chemotherapeutics or investigative agents.
  • Patients known to have a malignancy that has required treatment in the last 12 months and/or is expected to require treatment in the next 12 months (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ in the cervix).
  • Patients who have an active infection.
  • Pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or nursing women. Fertile men and women must agree to use adequate contraceptive measures during study therapy and for at least 6 months after the completion of tandutinib plus bevacizumab therapy.

  • Urine protein:creatinine (UPC) ratio greater than or equal to 1.0 at screening OR
  • Urine dipstick for proteinuria greater than or equal to 2+ (patients discovered to have greater than or equal to 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline should undergo a 24 hour urine collection and must demonstrate less than or equal to 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible).
