Study summary

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether the drugs ABBV-637 and ABBV-155 are safe treatments that cause few or mild side effects when given alone or in combination with ERAS-801 in people with recurrent GBM.

Read the detailed description

Stage 1 will run first, during which patients will be randomized to either Cohort A or B if recurrent GBM, and Cohort C or D if newly diagnosed. After these 4 cohorts are complete, and if the combinations have been safe and tolerable, the combination will be further evaluated in Stage 2.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients may not be receiving any other agents.
  • Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to any of the investigational agents are ineligible.
  • Patients with prior therapy with EGFR targeting agents are ineligible because treatment with EGFR kinase inhibitors or other EGFR-targeted agents has the potential to deplete the tumor of EGFR-amplified or EGFR mutant cell populations and confound the evaluation of the investigational regimen. Patients would only be eligible if surgery on a recurrence after the EGFR-targeted therapy confirmed persistence of an EGFR alteration.
  • Patients on enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED) are not eligible for treatment on this protocol. Patients may be on non-enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs or not be taking any anti-epileptic drugs. Patients previously treated with EIAED may be enrolled if they have been off the EIAED for 10 days or more prior to the first dose of study drug(s).
  • Patients must not have evidence of significant hematologic, renal, or hepatic dysfunctioPatients must not have evidence of significant intracranial hemorrhage (For example, in the recurrent setting, circumstances where the intracranial hemorrhage would obscure the amount and quality of tissue obtained at the time of the on-treatment surgery).
  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, hypertension, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/ social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements, are ineligible.
  • Participants with cardiovascular disease including, but not limited to:

    • No recent history (within 6 months) of congestive heart failure (defined as , Class 2 or higher), ischemic cardiovascular event, cardiac arrhythmia requiring pharmacological or surgical intervention, pericardial effusion, or pericarditis.
    • Any clinically important abnormalities in rhythm, conduction, or morphology of resting , e.g., complete left bundle branch block, second- or third-degree heart block, PR-interval > 250 ms.
    • Any factors that increase the risk of prolongation or risk of arrhythmic events such as heart failure, hypokalemia, congenital long QT syndrome, or any concomitant medication know to prolong the QT interval.
  • No history of clinically significant medical and/or psychiatric conditions or any other reason that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the subject's participation in this study or would make the subject an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because the investigational regimens have potential for teratogenic or abortifacients effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated on this study.
  • -positive patients on strong inducers or inhibitors are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions.
  • Patients who have acute or currently active/requiring anti-viral therapy hepatic or biliary disease are ineligible (with the exception of patients with Gilbert's syndrome, asymptomatic gallstones, liver from the primary brain tumor, or stable chronic liver disease per investigator assessment).
  • Patients receiving P-gp inhibitors/P-gp substrates with narrow therapeutic index are ineligible.
  • Patients who are receiving a drug that has a risk of QTc prolongation with known risk of if QTc is ≥ 460 msec. are ineligible. (Temozolomide is allowed for cohorts C,D, E and F)
  • Subject must not have systemically used known moderate or strong cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors within 10 days before the first dose of study drug and throughout the study. Subjects may be approved to start within 7 days of discontinuation of known moderate or strong herbal supplements cytochrome P450 (CYP)3A inhibitors with PI approval. Note: Herbal supplements; oregano, black seed, dandelion, and soursop have been approved for 7 day washout.
  • Subject must not have received any within 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug, or be expected to need a live vaccination during study participation including at least 4 weeks after the last dose of study drug.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(26)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Measurable disease

The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.

The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

ECG (electrocardiogram)

A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

NYHA class (heart failure)

The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.

I
No limits: ordinary activity causes no undue tiredness or breathlessness.
II
Slight limits: comfortable at rest, ordinary activity causes symptoms.
III
Marked limits: comfortable at rest, less than ordinary activity causes symptoms.
IV
Symptoms even at rest; any activity makes them worse.

Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Live vaccines

Vaccines made with a weakened form of the germ, such as measles–mumps–rubella (MMR), chickenpox and yellow fever. They can be risky when the immune system is weakened. Flu injections are not live; the nasal flu spray is.
