AGuIX Nanoparticles With Radiotherapy Plus Concomitant Temozolomide in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

This is a phase I/II clinical trial evaluating the association of AGuIX nanoparticles with radiotherapy plus concomitant Temozolomide in the treatment of newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

The primary objectives of this study were to determine the recommended dose of AGuIX in combination with radiotherapy and TMZ during the concomitant radiochemotherapy period (phase I) and to estimate the efficacy of the combination radiochemotherapy + AGuIX (recommended dose), measured by the 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS) (phase II)

Three dose levels of intravenous AGuIX nanoparticles will be explored: 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg and 100 mg/kg.

Treatment and study plan

Polysiloxane Gd-Chelates based nanoparticles (AGuIX)

Drug

Four intravenous injections of AGuIX will be delivered. Phase I : Three dose levels may be explored 50 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg and 100 mg/ kg. Phase II : recommended dose

Radiotherapy

Radiation

60 Gy in 6 weeks

Temozolomide

Drug

Concomitant chemotherapy consists of temozolomide (TMZ) at a dose of 75 mg per square meter per day, given 7 days per week from the first day of radiotherapy until the last day of radiotherapy.

After a 4 week break after concomitant treatment, patient were then received up to 6 cycles of adjuvant TMZ according to the standard 5-day schedule every 28 days .

Primary outcomes

  1. The recommended dose (phase I) of AGuIX in combination with TMZ and and radiotherapy during the radio-chemotherapy period

    Time frame: during 6 weeks after the first injection of AGuIX

    Only toxicities occurring during concomitant radiochemotherapy will be considered for the evaluation of Dose Limiting Toxicity radiotherapy during the radio-chemotherapy period is defined as the highest dose tested in which the % of dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) is less than 33%. DLT is defined as any grade 3-4 toxicity according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0 classification, except alopecia, nausea, and vomiting which can be quickly controlled with appropriate measures.

  2. 6-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate (phase II)

    Time frame: 6 months from the start of treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetic Cmax of AGuIX

    Time frame: Day 0 , Day 7, Day 14

    maximal plasma concentration (Cmax) of AGuIX

  2. Pharmacokinetic Tmax of AGuIX

    Time frame: Day 0 , Day 7, Day 14

    time of maximal plasma concentration (Tmax) of AGuIX

  3. Pharmacokinetic AUC of AGuIX

    Time frame: Day 0 , Day 7, Day 14

    Area Under the Curve (AUC) of AGuIX

  4. Pharmacokinetic t1/2 of AGuIX

    Time frame: Day 0 , Day 7, Day 14

    pharmacokinetic term half-life (t1/2) of AGuIX

  5. distribution of AGuIX

    Time frame: after the first and last injection of AGuIX, Week 0 and Day 14

    measure of RMI contrast enhancement in tumor and healthy tissue

  6. Overall Survival

    Time frame: from the start of treatment to death, up to 24 months

  7. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: from the start of treatment to progression, up to 24 months

  8. Toxicity (CTCAE criteria)

    Time frame: from baseline to 30 days after treatment (concomitant and adjuvant treatment) (week 35)

    according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effect (CTCAE) criteria
