Phase I Trial of DNA-PK Inhibitor (PEPOSERTIB ) in Combination With Radiation and Adjuvant Temozolomide in Newly Diagnosed MGMT Unmethylated and Recurrent Glioblastoma
United States29 participantsStarted 2020-09-20
Plain-language summary
This phase I trial investigates the side effects and best dose of Peposertib, and to see how well it works in combination with radiation therapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed MGMT unmethylated glioblastoma or gliosarcoma. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Peposertib may further stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as temozolomide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving Peposertib with radiation therapy may work better than radiation therapy alone in treating patients with glioblastoma or gliosarcoma.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Signed Informed Consent Form (ICF)
* Be willing and able to provide written informed consent for the trial. Participants with cognitive impairment will be enrolled. Cognitive function will be assessed by the treating physician or designee through a neurological examination. The formal consent for such participants will be obtained from their legally authorized representative. For cognitively impaired adults who are enrolling in the study by consent of a legally authorized representative, assent of the subject is required for the subjects with the ability to communicate assent. This assent will be documented in subject fs consent note.
* Age 18 years or older
* Histologically confirmed World Health Organization (WHO) grade 4 glioma (GBM) or gliosarcoma, IDH wild-type, per WHO 2021 classification .IDH status is to be determined by IDH1 R132H immunohistochemistry except for patients ≤ age 54 in whom IDH sequencing will be required to detect non-canonical IDH mutations.
* Have KPS of 3 60 or ECOG . 2 according to appendix 5.
* A baseline MRI of brain obtained no more than 14 days prior to study enrollment on a stable or tapering dose of steroids for at least 3 days

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?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
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?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
