NCT01644955

Brief Summary

This study is being done to evaluate the toxicity and safety of carboplatin administered by convection enhanced delivery into the tumor in patients with high grade glial neoplasms. This study is a dose escalating study, (the dose of the study drug is increased at set time points). Carboplatin is in a class of drugs known as platinum-containing compounds; it slows or stops the growth of cancer cells in your body. Convection enhanced delivery involves placing one or more catheters into the brain and delivering chemotherapy through those catheters directly into the brain

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Establish maximum tolerated dose and define toxicity profile

    The toxicity profile of carboplatin delivered intracerebrally via convection enhanced delivery (CED) for patients with high grade glial neoplasms. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of infused carboplatin may then be incorporated into future clinical studies.

    72 hours after maximal medical therapy is initiated

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Six month progression free survival defined as the proportion of patients with stable disease at 6 months from surgery

    Time between surgery and earliest sign of disease progression or death, assessed up to 6 months

  • Median progression free survival

    Time between surgery and earliest sign of disease progression or death, assessed up to 2 years

  • Radiographic response rate

    Up to 2 years

  • Overall survival

    Time from surgery until death, assessed up to 2 years

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (carboplatin)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will undergo surgery, which includes tumor resection and catheter placement, in the operating room and then receive carboplatin administered intracerebrally by convection enhanced delivery.

Drug: carboplatinProcedure: Surgery

Interventions

Carboplatin in a volume of 54 ml will be administered intracerebrally by convection enhanced delivery

Also known as: Carboplat, CBDCA, JM-8, Paraplat, Paraplatin
Treatment (carboplatin)
SurgeryPROCEDURE

Patients will undergo surgery, which includes tumor resection and catheter placement, in the operating room.

Also known as: craniotomy
Treatment (carboplatin)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients must have progressive disease for which craniotomy and tumor resection is recommended as treatment
  • Patients must sign a consent form indicating that they are aware of the investigational nature of the study; the informed consent form will indicate that the patient has been made aware of all other appropriate therapies
  • Patients with histologically confirmed grade III or IV astrocytoma, oligoastrocytoma, and oligodendroglioma who are at first or second recurrence
  • Patients must have unequivocal evidence of tumor progression by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed no longer than 28 days prior to study registration
  • Patients must have pathologically confirmed recurrence at the time of catheter placement
  • Patients must be on a stable or decreasing dexamethasone dosage for at least 1 week prior to baseline MRI
  • Patients must have been treated previously with radiation therapy and treatment must have been completed at least 8 weeks prior to surgery for catheter implantation
  • Last dose of cytotoxic chemotherapy must have been at least 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas) prior to catheter placement; patients are eligible if they received bevacizumab or other anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapies, although the most recent dose must be at least 6 weeks prior to catheter placement
  • Patients previously treated with stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic radiotherapy, brachytherapy, Gliadel wafers or other intratumoral chemotherapy are eligible
  • Patients must have recovered from all prior therapy
  • Patients must have a life expectancy of \>= 3 months and a Karnofsky performance status \>= 60 Leukocytes \>= 3,000/mcL Absolute neutrophil count \>= 1,500/mcL Platelets \>= 100,000/mcL Hemoglobin \>= 9 g/dL Serum calcium =\< 12.0 mg/dL Total serum bilirubin \< institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)(serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT)(serum glutamic pyruvate transaminase \[SGPT\]) =\< 2.5 X institutional ULN Creatinine \< 1.5 X institutional ULN
  • Women of child bearing years must have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 1 week of study entry; men and women of reproductive potential must agree to use an effective contraceptive method including one of the following: surgical sterilization (tubal ligation for women or vasectomy for men); approved hormonal contraceptives (such as birth control pills, Depo-Provera or Lupron Depro); barrier methods (such as condom or diaphragm) used with a spermicide cream or an intrauterine device (IUD)
  • Patient or designated individuals with durable medical power of attorney must give written informed consent prior to any study-specific procedures being implemented
  • Both men and women and members of all races and ethnic groups are eligible for this trial

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with infratentorial, multifocal, or pathologically confirmed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) disseminated tumor
  • Patients that have been treated with \> 3 prior chemotherapy regimens
  • Pregnant or lactating women or women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active and not willing/able to use medically acceptable forms of contraception
  • Patients who have a history of bleeding disorders including congenital or acquired coagulopathies
  • Known acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) based upon current Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) definition or other acquired or congenital disorder of the immune system
  • Patients with unstable or serious concurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infections requiring IV antibiotics or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements are ineligible; (if patient has a stable chronic infection requiring oral antibiotics, the patient may be treated at the investigators discretion; however a clinical note must include the justification regarding the safety of treating the patient)
  • Patients who have received any other investigational agent in a 28-day period prior to enrollment in this study
  • Patients whose tumors are located less than 2 cm from the ventricles
  • Patients taking greater than 12 mg daily of dexamethasone
  • Prior invasive malignancy that is not low-grade glioma, glioblastoma or gliosarcoma (except non-melanomatous skin cancer or carcinoma in situ of the cervix) unless the patient has been disease free and off therapy for that disease for a minimum of 3 years
