Ph I Gleevec in Combo w RAD001 + Hydroxyurea for Pts w Recurrent MG

• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2013-01-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

Primary objective To determine maximum tolerated dose & dose limiting toxicity of imatinib mesylate & RAD001 when combined w fixed doses of hydroxyurea among pts w recurrent GBM who are on & not on enzyme-inducing anti-convulsants including pts not on anti-epileptic drugs Secondary objective To assess safety & tolerability of imatinib mesylate in combo w RAD001 & hydroxyurea in this population To characterize single-dose & repeated-dose pharmacokinetic profiles of imatinib mesylate & RAD001 combo therapy in this pt population.

To assess antiangiogenic effects, pre- and post-treatment, of imatinib mesylate, RAD001 & hydroxyurea combo therapy, using DCE-MRI to evaluate changes in extent of vascular permeability, perfusion & relative tumor blood volume; to explore assessment of tumor cellularity & tumor cell death by changes in DWI-MRI as quantitated by apparent diffusion coefficient maps.
