NCT07089641

Brief Summary

This phase Ib trial tests the safety and side effects of ERAS-801 in treating patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wildtype, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) amplified or mutated grade IV glioblastoma or gliosarcoma that can be removed by surgery (resectable) and that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive), that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that is newly diagnosed in an elderly patient. Glioblastoma is the most common brain cancer in adults and survival rates remain poor despite treatment including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. EGFR is a protein found on the surface of some cells, to which epidermal growth factor binds, causing the cells to divide. It is found at abnormally high levels on the surface of many types of tumor cells, so these cells may divide excessively in the presence of epidermal growth factor. ERAS-801, an EGFR inhibitor that can penetrate the central nervous system, binds to the tumor cells that express EGFR and may help shrink or slow the growth of the tumor cells.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Fludeoxyglucose F-18 (FDG) tumor uptake (Cohort A)

    FDG positron emission tomography (PET), as measured by median normalized FDG standardized uptake value (SUV) within the contrast enhancing tumor, will be compared to estimate the change in FDG uptake in the tumor. Analyses will be descriptive, summarizing changes with confidence intervals and exploring correlations; no formal hypothesis testing is planned.

    At baseline, prior to initiation of study treatment and after study treatment prior to surgery

  • Pharmacokinetics (PK) dose modification (Cohort B)

    Will evaluate the effect of 120 mg twice daily dosing on corrected QT interval (QTc) relative to maximum concentration compared with historical 240 mg once-daily data. PK data and triplicate electrocardiograms will be summarized descriptively, with QTc analyzed as a continuous change.

    At day 1 and day 15

  • 6 month progression free survival (Cohort C)

    Will be summarized as a proportion with corresponding 95% exact confidence intervals. Nominal exact two-sided p-values will be presented, testing EGFR inhibitor ERAS-801 against a fixed 5% null rate. Simon's minimax two-stage design will be used for conducting the trial.

    At 6 months

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Incidence of adverse events

    From enrollment to 30 days after the last dose of study treatment

  • Change in glycolytic index (GI)

    At baseline, prior to initiation of study treatment and after study treatment prior to surgery

  • pH-weighted CEST-SAGE-EPI

    At baseline, prior to initiation of study treatment and after study treatment prior to surgery

  • PK profile

    At time of surgery and then at the beginning of each treatment cycle (1 cycle = 28 days)

Study Arms (3)

Cohort A (ERAS-801)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive ERAS-801 PO QD for 8-14 days prior to undergoing scheduled surgical resection. Starting no more than 28 days after surgery, patients then receive ERAS-801 PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo ECHO, urine and blood sample collection and brain MRI throughout the study. Additionally, patients undergo CSF sample collection at the time of surgery and FDG PET on study.

Procedure: Biospecimen CollectionProcedure: Echocardiography TestDrug: EGFR Inhibitor ERAS-801Other: Fludeoxyglucose F-18Procedure: Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure: Positron Emission TomographyProcedure: Surgical Procedure

Cohort B (ERAS-801)

EXPERIMENTAL

After first or second recurrence, patients receive ERAS-801 PO BID on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo ECHO, urine and blood sample collection and brain MRI and FDG-PET throughout the study.

Procedure: Biospecimen CollectionProcedure: Echocardiography TestDrug: EGFR Inhibitor ERAS-801Other: Fludeoxyglucose F-18Procedure: Magnetic Resonance ImagingProcedure: Positron Emission Tomography

Cohort C (ERAS-801)

EXPERIMENTAL

Within 2-4 weeks of the last tumor surgery, newly diagnosed patients receive ERAS-801 PO BID on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo ECHO, urine and blood sample collection and brain MRI and FDG-PET throughout the study.

You may qualify if:

  • COHORT A: Patients must be 18 years of age or older on the day of signing informed consent
  • COHORT A: Patients must have histologically proven surgically accessible World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, which is progressive or recurrent following radiation therapy +/- chemotherapy
  • COHORT A: Patient tumor sample must have wild type IDH with evidence of EGFR mutation/amplification by Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA)-certified laboratory assay. Patients with EGFR mutations in T790M or exon 20 will be excluded

  • COHORT A: Patients must have recovered from severe toxicity of prior therapy. The following intervals from previous treatments are required to be eligible:
  • weeks from the completion of radiation
  • weeks from a nitrosourea chemotherapy
  • weeks from a non-nitrosourea chemotherapy
  • weeks from any investigational (not Food and Drug Administration \[FDA\]-approved) agents
  • weeks from the last treatment with bevacizumab
  • weeks from administration of a non-cytotoxic, FDA-approved agent other than bevacizumab (e.g., hydroxychloroquine, etc.)
