Enzastaurin Before and Concomitant With Radiation, Followed by Enzastaurin in Participants With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2016-03-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of the protocol was to induce a novel radiochemotherapy with enzastaurin as first-line treatment regimen in glioblastoma: Participants with active, unmethylated MGMT promoter were treated with enzastaurin before, concomitant, and after radiotherapy to determine safety and PFS at 6 months (PFS-6) in phase II.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

• Lead Sponsor: Eli Lilly and Company

• ECOG Performance Status of less than or equal to 2

• Adequate organ function including the following:

• adequate bone marrow reserve: white blood cell (WBC) count greater than or equal to 3.0 X 109/L, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) greater than or equal to 1.5 X 109/L, platelet count greater than or equal to 75.0 X 109/L, and hemoglobin greater than or equal to 10.0 g/dL (greater than or equal to 6.2 mmol/L).

• Unable to undergo Gd MRI

• Prior chemotherapy within the last 5 years

• Prior chemotherapy for a brain tumor

• Prior radiotherapy of the head

• Are unable to discontinue use of carbamazepine, phenobarbital, and phenytoin

• History of coagulation disorder associated with bleeding, or recurrent thrombotic events

• Are receiving concurrent administration of anticoagulant therapy
