Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of a combined treatment with cilengitide and metronomic oral temozolomide as measured by 6 months overall survival (OS) after diagnosis of relapse or tumour progression in children and adolescents with relapsed or refractory high-grade malignant glioma and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Secondary objectives include: 1. To evaluate the safety and toxicity of the study treatment by common toxicity criteria (CTC; version 4.0). 2. To assess - the response rates at 6 months (continuous complete response = CCR, complete response = CR, partial response = PR, stable disease = SD, progressive disease = PD) and - progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months, and - response rates, OS, and PFS at 12 months after relapse diagnosis or diagnosis of tumor progression. Response will be presented including histopathological variants. 3. To assess the pharmacokinetics of cilengitide administered as part of the study treatment. Indication and study population for this trial: Treatment of relapsed or refractory high grade gliomas and diffuse intrinsic pontine gliomas in paediatric patients ≥ 3 years and < 18 years of age. Patients included in the study receive - Cilengitide 1800 mg/m² i.v. twice weekly - Temozolomide 75 mg/m²/d p.o. for 6 weeks, followed by 1 week rest with a mandatory platelet-count dependent dose adaptation rule: mandatory blood counts twice weekely: Platelets ≥ 100 000/µl (≥ 100 Gpt/l): 75 mg/m², platelets ≥ 50 000 - < 100 000/µl (≥ 50 - <100 Gpt/l): 50 mg/m², platelets < 50 000/µl (<50 Gpt/l): stop temozolomide until platelet recovery ≥ 100 000/µl (≥100 Gpt/l) - Study treatment in the individual patient is scheduled for 1 year unless tumor progression or excessive toxicity occurs. However, study treatment may be extended beyond 1 year upon individual decision.
