Conditions

Summary

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of paxalisib in combination with temozolomide and to determine the preliminary antitumour activity of the combination therapy. In the Phase 1b of this study parallel biomarker defined arms will be opened in the front-line unmethylated MGMT setting, enrolling 10 patients onto each arm. These patients will be treated with paxalisib in combination with temozolomide (TMZ). The starting dose of paxalisib will be 45mg once a day (OD) with the option of increasing to 60 mg (30 mg BD) in Cycle 2. TMZ will be administered once daily by mouth on days 1 to 5 in a 28-day cycle, with a starting dose of 150mg/m2 during cycles 1 and 2, and subsequent dose escalation to 200mg/m2 at the start of cycle 3 if cycles 1 and 2 have been well tolerated with no significant toxicity.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial (called 5G-PEARL) is testing a drug called paxalisib — which blocks a signaling pathway that fuels tumor growth — in people with malignant brain tumors, primarily glioblastoma (a very aggressive form of brain cancer). The study is testing it as a front-line treatment after standard surgery and radiation, as well as in other settings. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with glioblastoma (WHO Grade IV, IDH-wildtype) or another high-grade malignant brain tumor - You have completed standard treatment (surgery and/or radiation) and have minimal remaining disease (minimal residual disease cohort) or are in another phase of the study - You have had comprehensive genomic testing done (whole genome sequencing) as part of the Minderoo Precision Brain Tumour Programme or NHS-funded program - You are in reasonably good health with adequate organ function **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have had prior treatment with paxalisib or similar PI3K/mTOR pathway inhibitors - You have uncontrolled diabetes or other serious metabolic conditions - You have active serious infections or other cancers - You are pregnant or breastfeeding Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
