BPM31510 in Treating Patients With Recurrent High-Grade Glioma Previously Treated With Bevacizumab

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2021-06-26
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of ubidecarenone injectable nanosuspension (BPM31510) in treating patients with high-grade glioma (anaplastic astrocytoma or glioblastoma) that has come back and have been previously treated with bevacizumab. BPM31510 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

• Phase: Phase 1
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Seema Nagpal

• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 2.5 x ULN

• Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN

• International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 x ULN

• Partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN

• Subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use hormonal or barrier birth control with spermicidal gel to avoid pregnancy during the study

• Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has a history of spontaneous or tumor related cerebral hemorrhage; or has cerebral hemorrhage as determined by the screening FDG PET CT and MRI. This does not include stable post operative blood products seen on a gradient echo MRI sequence.

• Active heart disease including myocardial infarction within previous 3 months

• Symptomatic coronary artery disease

• Arrhythmias not controlled by medication

• Unstable angina pectoris

• Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure (NYHA class III and IV) 3.2.3 Uncontrolled or severe coagulopathies or a history of clinically significant bleeding within the past 6 months, including any of the following, but not limited to:

• Epistaxis

• Hemoptysis

• Hematochezia

• Hematuria

• Gastrointestinal bleeding

• Spontaneous or tumor related intracranial hemorrhage

• Known predisposition for bleeding such as von Willebrand's disease or other such condition(s)

• Uncontrolled concurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirements, including any of the following, but limited to:

• Uncontrolled infection.

• Psychiatric illness/social situations

• Prior malignancy except for non melanoma skin cancer and carcinoma in situ (of the cervix or bladder), unless diagnosed and definitively treated more than 3 years prior to 1st dose of investigational drug

• Receiving any of the following medications:

• Therapeutic doses of any anticoagulant, including low molecular weight heparin (LMWH). Concomitant use of warfarin, even at prophylactic doses, is prohibited

• Digoxin, digitoxin, lanatoside C, or any type of digitalis alkaloids.

• Colony stimulating factors (CSFs) that cannot be held during the monitoring period for dose limiting toxicities (DLT)

• Has significant toxicities from prior treatment that have not resolved or stabilized

• Known allergy to Coenzyme Q10

• Known allergy or adverse reaction to oral, subcutaneous, or intravenous vitamin K

• Is pregnant or lactating

• Known to be positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Note: HIV testing is not required for eligibility, but if performed previously and was positive, the subject is ineligible.
