Tinostamustine With or Without Radiation Therapy in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed MGMT-Unmethylated Glioblastoma
United States5 participantsStarted 2018-08-13
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of tinostamustine (EDO-S101) given with or without radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed MGMT-unmethylated glioblastoma. Tinostamustine may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth in patients with glioblastoma.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial.
* Have histologically confirmed World Health Organization grade IV glioma (glioblastoma \[GB\] or gliosarcoma).
* Patients must have preliminary glioblastoma (GBM) MGMT status (tumor must be MGMT promoter unmethylated) determined prior to study entry. If initial MGMT status is determined to be "unmethylated", by an outside institution the patient may be enrolled and begin treatment. However, MGMT status must be retested following enrollment by central laboratory Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act (CLIA) certified testing at MD Anderson, if tissue is available. Confirmed IDH wildtype. The presence of an IDH mutation will be an exclusionary criteria for trial enrollment.
* Have a performance status of \>= 60 on the Karnofsky performance scale (KPS).
* If patient is on steroids, patient must be on a stable or decreasing dose of steroids for at least 5 days at the time of baseline brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
* Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>= 1,500 /mcL (within 14 days \[+3 working days\] of treatment initiation).
* Platelets \>= 100,000 /mcL (within 14 days \[+3 working days\] of treatment initiation).
* Hemoglobin \>= 9 g/dL or \>= 5.6 mmol/L (within 14 days \[+3 working days\] of treatment initiation).
* Serum creatinine OR measured or calculated creatinine clearance (glomerular filtration rate \[GFR\] can also be used in place of creatinine or creatinine clearance \[C…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
