Safety and Tolerability of Fb-PMT in Recurrent Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

Glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and fatal form of primary malignant brain tumor with limited treatment options. fb-PMT affects a large group of cancer cell signaling pathways and thus may be effective in heterogeneous, treatment-resistant tumors such as Glioblastoma. fb-PMT also is actively transported across the blood-brain barrier into the brain. This study is being conducted to determine the dose level for further clinical development of fb-PMT to treat recurrent Glioblastoma.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
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.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Significant medical illness that is uncontrolled, may obscure toxicity, may dangerously alter drug metabolism, or may compromise ability for study participation.
  • - History of any other cancer (except non-melanoma skin cancer or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix), unless in complete remission and off all therapy for that disease for at least 3 months prior to first dose of study drug.

Testing is not required in patients without thrombophilic history.
  • - Evidence of new central nervous system hemorrhage on baseline MRI obtained within 14 days prior to study enrollment.

  • - Use of any concomitant OATP1B1, OATP1B3, or BSEP inhibitors within 14 days or five half-lives (whichever is longer) before starting study drug treatment.
  • - Abdominal fistula, gastrointestinal perforation, or intraabdominal abscess within 6 months prior to study enrollment.
  • - A significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm requiring surgical repair, deep venous or arterial thrombosis) within the last 6 months prior to study enrollment.
  • - History of stroke, myocardial infarction, transient ischemic attack (TIA), severe or unstable angina, peripheral vascular disease, or grade II or greater congestive heart failure within the past 6 months.
- History of Torsades de Pointes or risk factors for Torsades de Pointes (e.g., heart failure, hypokalemia, family history of Long QT Syndrome)

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT05226494
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

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.
