Description

Description

Primary Objectives
  1. (Part 1) To evaluate the penetration of MLN0128 across the blood brain barrier and achieve a concentration of 70 nM in tissue resected from a contrast enhancing region of the tumor in 60% of recurrent GBM patients.
  2. (Part 2) To determine the ability of MLN0128 to inhibit TORC1/2 in the enhancing components of the tumor as determined by modulation of RPS6 pS235 in reverse phase protein array (RPPA) assays.
Secondary Objectives
  1. (Part 1) To evaluate the penetration of MLN0128 across the blood brain barrier by determining its concentration in tissue resected from a non-contrast enhancing region of the tumor.
  2. (Part 1) To assess the plasma pharmacokinetics of MLN0128 in patients with recurrent GBM.
  3. (Part 2) To determine the ability of MLN0128 to inhibit TORC1/2 in the non-enhancing components of the tumor as determined by modulation of RPS6 pS235 in RPPA assays.
  4. (Part 2) To assess the ability of MLN0128 to inhibit TORC1/2 by evaluating PD markers by immunohistochemistry such as pS235, pS236, p4EBP, pmTOR, and AKTpSer473.
  5. (Parts 1 and 2) To evaluate the safety profile of MLN0128 in pre-operative patients with recurrent GBM.
  6. (Parts 1 and 2) To estimate response rate, progression-free survival, and overall survival.
Exploratory Objectives
  1. (Part 1) To perform mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) to qualitatively assess the ability of MLN0128 to penetrate the blood brain barrier and enter tumor tissue in enhancing and non-enhancing regions of the tumor.
  2. (Part 2) To determine ex-vivo sensitivity of tumor neurosphere cultures (patient derived cell lines [PDCL]) established from surgical specimens to MLN0128.
  3. (Part 2) To explore the potential association of tumor genotype with progression-free survival among patients treated with MLN0128.
  4. (Part 2) To determine the ability of MLN0128 to inhibit TORC1/2 as determined by modulation of additional TORC1/2 markers in RPPA assays.

  10. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to study entry. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and through 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
  11. Patients must have no concurrent malignancy except curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder. Patients with prior malignancies must be disease-free for ≥ five years.
  12. Patients must be able to swallow whole capsules.
  13. Patients enrolled in Part 2 must have at least 20 (preferably 40) slides of archival tumor tissue from a prior surgery demonstrating GBM. Patients enrolled in Part 1 will not be required to have archival tissue.
Exclusion Criteria

Exclusion Criteria

  1. Patients receiving any other investigational agents are ineligible.
  2. Patients with a history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to MLN0128 are ineligible. The MLN0128 Investigator Brochure can be referenced for more information.
  3. Patients may not have had prior treatment with mTOR, PI3 kinase or Akt inhibitors.

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 MLN0128.
  5. Patients must not have evidence of significant hematologic, renal, or hepatic dysfunction.
  6. Patients must not have evidence of significant intracranial hemorrhage.
  7. 8. Patients with a history of any of the following within the last 6 months prior to study entry are ineligible:
    • Ischemic myocardial event, including angina requiring therapy and artery revascularization procedures
    • Ischemic cerebrovascular event, including TIA and artery revascularization procedures
    • Requirement for inotropic support (excluding digoxin) or serious (uncontrolled) cardiac arrhythmia (including atrial flutter/fibrillation, ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia)
    • Placement of a pacemaker for control of rhythm
    • New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure (See Appendix II)
    • Pulmonary embolism
  8. Patients with known significant active cardiovascular or pulmonary disease at the time of study entry are ineligible.
  9. Patients with baseline prolongation of the rate-corrected QT interval (QTc) (e.g., repeated demonstration of QTc interval > 480 milliseconds, or history of congenital long QT syndrome, or torsades de pointes) are ineligible.
  10. Patients with known diabetes mellitus which is poorly controlled (defined as HbA1c > 7%) are ineligible. Subjects with a history of transient glucose intolerance due to corticosteroid administration are allowed in this study if all other inclusion/exclusion have been met.
  11. Patients who have initiated treatment with bisphosphonates less than 30 days prior to the first administration of MLN0128 are ineligible. Concurrent bisphosphonate use is only allowed if the bisphosphonate was initiated at least 30 days prior to the first administration of MLN0128.
  12. For weekly MLN0128 dose cohorts, patients taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are ineligible unless these patients are able to switch to an H2 blocker and/or antacid. Concurrent PPI use is allowed for patients enrolled on the daily MLN0128 dose cohorts. (See Section 4.5, Stomach Acid Neutralizing Agents)
  13. Patients with known manifestations of malabsorption due to prior gastrointestinal (GI) surgery, GI disease, or for an unknown reason that may alter the absorption of MLN0128 are ineligible.
  14. Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, 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.
  15. Pregnant women are excluded from this study because MLN0128 has 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 with MLN0128, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with MLN0128.
  16. HIV-positive patients on combination antiretroviral therapy are ineligible because of the potential for pharmacokinetic interactions with MLN0128. In addition, these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy.

NOTE: Subjects taking strong CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors and/or inducers should be considered with caution. Alternative treatments that are less likely to affect MLN0128 metabolism, if available, should be considered. If a subject requires treatment with 1 or more of the strong CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 inhibitors and/or inducers, the study doctor should be consulted (see Appendix III).
