Study of LY2228820 With Radiotherapy Plus Concomitant TMZ in the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

Glioblastomas are extremely resistant to treatment, including radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy. Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades are key signaling pathways involved in the regulation of normal cell proliferation, survival and differentiation. Activation of p38 MAPK has been associated with a poor prognosis among patients with glioblastoma during the temozolomide (TMZ) era and represents a compensatory response by tumor cell to environmental stress such as radiation or chemotherapy.

LY2228820 is a potent and selective inhibitor of p38 MAPK, and reduces phosphorylation of its cellular target, MAPK-activated protein kinase 2 (MAPKAPK-2) . LY2228820 is a good candidate to target malignant glioma resistance to the gold standard treatment combining radiation and TMZ by acting on both tumor and stromal cells.

The primary objectives of this study were to determine the recommended dose of LY2228820 in combination with TMZ and radiotherapy during chemoradiotherapy period (phase I) and to estimate the 6-month progression free survival (PFS) rate of patients treated with LY2228820 when administered at the recommended dose in combination with radiotherapy and concomitant TMZ (phase II)

    Time frame: from D1 Week 0 (first dose of LY2228820) to D63 Week 8.

    defined as the highest dose tested in which a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is experienced by no more than 33% of patients during chemoradiotherapy period.

  2. 6-month Progression Free Survival (PFS) rate (phase II) defined as the rate of patients who not presented a progression at 6 months from the first dose of LY2228820

    Time frame: 6 months from the first dose of LY2228820

Secondary outcomes

  1. Safety profile according to NCI Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effect (CTCAE) criteria version 4.03.

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

  2. PFS

    Time frame: from the first dose of LY2228820 to disease progression or death for any reason, up to 24 months

    disease progression assessed per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria

  3. Overall Survival

    Time frame: from the first dose of LY2228820 to death, up to 24 months

  4. 12-month PFS rate defined as the rate of patients who not presented a progression at 12 months from the first dose of LY2228820

    Time frame: 12 months from the first dose of LY2228820

  5. Objective response rate according to RANO criteria for patients with incomplete resection or only biopsy

    Time frame: from the first dose of LY2228820 to treatment completion

  6. The neurologic status evaluated by clinical assessment and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and evaluation of corticosteroid dosage

    Time frame: from baseline to progression, up to 24 months

  7. Pharmacokinetic of LY2228820 and TMZ (AUC0-12h)

    Time frame: D7 Week 0, D28 Week 3, D35 Week 4
