Pembrolizumab, Olaparib, and Temozolomide for People With Glioma

Study Purpose

This study will test the safety and effectiveness of a combination of pembrolizumab, olaparib, and temozolomide to see how well these drugs work when given together in people with a glioma that either did not respond to previous treatment or came back after treatment.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Recurrent enhancing grade II and III IDH-mutated gliomas that have failed previous therapy

All patients will receive pembrolizumab for two cycles prior to the addition of olaparib and temozolomide. Combination olaparib and temozolomide will be added in cycle 3. Combination therapy will continue through cycle 11 (cycles 3-11 = 27 weeks or approximately 6 months). Patients will then continue on pembrolizumab maintenance for a maximum of 35 cycles (two years) or until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Experimental: Recurrent IDH-wildtype gliomas and homologous recombination deficiency (HRD).

Five patients will receive pembrolizumab for two cycles prior to the addition of olaparib and temozolomide. Combination olaparib and temozolomide will be added in cycle 3. Combination therapy will continue through cycle 11 (cycles 3-11 = 27 weeks or approximately 6 months). Patients will then continue on pembrolizumab maintenance for a maximum of 35 cycles (two years) or until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity. This cohort will be analyzed descriptively.

Interventions

Drug: - Pembrolizumab

Patients will receive pembrolizumab 200mg IV on day 1 (± 3days) of each cycle. Pembrolizumab will continue every 21 days (± 3 days) throughout the trial.

Combination Product: - Olaparib and Temozolomide

Olaparib and temozolomide will begin on cycle 3 day 1 and continue through cycle 11. Olaparib will be dosed 200mg orally twice a day (bid) days 1-7 each cycle. Temozolomide 50 mg/m2 will be administered orally days 1-7 each cycle.
