A Phase I/II Combination Study of NMS-03305293 and Temozolomide in Adult Patients with Recurrent Glioblastoma
EU CTIS ID: 2023-508318-41-00
What this study is testing
To determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of NMS-03305293 in combination with temozolomide (TMZ) in patients with diffuse gliomas at first relapse (Phase I). To assess the antitumor efficacy of the combination of NMS-03305293 and TMZ in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) wild type glioblastoma (Phase II) at first relapse.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Phase I - 1. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of an intracranial diffuse glioma (i.e. diffuse astrocytoma, oligodendroglioma or glioblastoma). Sponsor may opt to restrict enrollment based on MGMT status, tumor type, tumor measurability or apply restriction on time to first relapse.
- Phase I (including Backfill) and Phase II - 15. Patients must use highly effective contraception or true abstinence. Female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception or abstinence during the period of therapy and in the following 6 months plus 5x NMS-03305293 half-life (3 days) after discontinuation of study treatment. Being NMS-03305293 a potential CYP3A perpetrator, hormonal contraception may lose efficacy while on treatment with NMS-03305293, therefore this should be taken into account. Male patients must be surgically sterile or must agree to use highly effective contraception or true abstinence during the period of therapy and in the following 90 days plus 5x NMS-03305293 half-life (3 days) after discontinuation of study treatment.
- Phase I (including Backfill) and Phase II - 16. Ability to swallow capsules intact (without chewing, crushing, or opening).
- Phase I - 2. Patients at first radiographic relapse after chemotherapy including temozolomide as long as no more than 12 cycles of temozolomide were administered.
- Phase I (including Backfill) and Phase II - 17. Willingness and ability to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests and other study indications or procedures.
- Phase I - 3. Patients may have been operated for recurrence. If operated: - residual and measurable disease after surgery is not required but pathology must have confirmed tumor recurrence. - a post-surgery MRI should be available within 48 hours following surgery. - surgery completed at least 2 weeks before enrolment and patient clinical status should not be worsened respect to pre-surgery condition
You likely can't join if
- 1. Current enrollment in another interventional clinical trial.
- 10. Treatment with enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED). Patients may be on non-EIAED or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs. Patients previously on EIAED must be fully switched to non-EIAED at least 2 weeks prior to enrolment.
- 11. Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
- 12. Known hypersensitivity to any component of NMS-03305293 or TMZ drug formulations.
- 13. Known active infections (bacterial, fungal, viral including HIV positivity) requiring systemic treatment.
- 14. Patients with QTc interval ≥460 milliseconds for women, ≥450 milliseconds for men or with risk factors for torsade de pointes (e.g.,uncontrolled heart failure, uncontrolled hypokalemia, history of prolonged QTc interval or family history of long QT syndrome). For patients receiving treatment with concomitant medications known to prolong the QTc interval, replacement with another treatment prior to enrollment is mandatory. If concomitant use of anti-emetics is considered essential for the care of the patients, follow instruction in specific section of the protocol
