A Study of Berubicin in Adult Subjects With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme
United States, France, Italy252 participantsStarted 2021-05-18
Plain-language summary
This is an open-label, multicenter, randomized, parallel, 2-arm, efficacy and safety study. Patients with GBM after failure of standard first line therapy will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive berubicin or lomustine for the evaluation of OS. Additional endpoints will include response and progression outcomes evaluated by a blinded central reviewer for each patient according to RANO criteria.
A pre-planned, non-binding futility analysis will be performed after approximately 30 to 50% of all planned patients have completed the primary endpoint at 6 months. This review will include additional evaluation of safety as well as secondary efficacy endpoints. Enrollment will not be paused during this interim analysis.

Exclusion criteria
. Written informed consent from the patient or their legally authorized representative (LAR) prior to any study-related procedure, and willing and able to comply with the protocol and aware of the investigational nature of this study.
. At least 18 years of age.
. KPS score of ≥ 60
. A confirmed GBM diagnosis must be based on local review of tumor tissue from the initial biopsy, surgery, or re-resection. A formal pathology report confirming GBM is acceptable. It is not a requirement for slides to be sent to a central reviewer.
. Recurrent or progressive GBM as evaluated by central review applying RANO criteria on contrast MRI scans of the Baseline/Screening MRI scan obtained up to six weeks prior to C1D1 and a historical scan taken before the Baseline/Screening scan that meets at least 1 of the following criteria:
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.
What they're measuring

Overall Survival
Timeframe: Through study completion an average of 4 years.
. In the case of measurable disease, progression will be documented by ≥ 25% increase in the sum of the perpendicular diameter products (SPDPs) of the measurable contrast-enhancing (target) lesions or any new measurable lesions.
. If the SPDPs cannot be reliably estimated due to the lesion's complex conspicuity, shape, and contrast enhancement pattern, the volume of all measurable and non-measurable lesions may be used instead, applying the same threshold (≥ 25% increase) to confirm disease progression.
. In the case of non-measurable lesions in the historical scan, any transformation into measurable lesions (≥10 mm in both maximum perpendicular diameters) in the Baseline/Screening scan will be evidence of progression.
