A Study of the Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) Using B10 L-BPA in Recurrent Meningioma

Study Purpose

This Phase I/II study, titled 'A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) Using B10 L-BPA as a Boron Carrier in Recurrent Meningioma', aims to assess the efficacy of B10 L-BPA with BNCT in patients with recurrent meningioma. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of BNCT with B10 L-BPA for recurrent meningioma treatment, using the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors, Version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1) as the standard for assessment.

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.

There must be a time interval ≥ 3 months between prior radiation therapy and the scheduled BNCT. 5. There must be a time interval ≥ 1 month between receipt of antitumor drugs and the scheduled BNCT. 6. Measurable disease by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and/or computed tomography (CT) scan and ≤ 12 cm in the longest dimension. 7. At least one measurable lesion that can be assessed by RECIST v1.1. 8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Score ≤ 2. 9. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months in the opinion of the investigator. 10. Adequate organ functions as defined below: Hemoglobin ≥ 8.0 g/dL. White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 2.5 x 10^9 /L.

    Exclusion Criteria:

    1.
Patients who have an effective standard treatment option available. 2. Lymphoma or other tumor type that is expected to respond to cancer chemotherapy or to a dose of conventional radiation therapy that can be safely given. 3. History of malignancy other than meningioma within 5 years (except carcinoma in situ and non-melanoma skin cancer). 4. A time interval less than 3 months from previous radiation therapy for intracranial region. 5. Patients who had radiation myelitits or radiation necrosis of the brain/brain stem. 6.

Imaging studies demonstrating tumor invasion of the carotid artery. 9. Carotid blowout syndrome with active bleeding within 6 months. 10. The investigator will evaluate the subject's condition and determine whether to perform computed tomography angiography (CTA) to assess the health of the subject's vascular system. This evaluation will confirm whether the subject is suitable to participate in the trial. Note: Subjects will be eligible for the study if they have undergone stent implantation and obtained consent from the investigator. 11. Active infections requiring systemic treatment. 12. Patients with severe congestive heart failure or renal failure, as well as myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or poorly controlled arrhythmia within 6 months prior to the scheduled BNCT. 13. Severe comorbidities including but not limited to poorly controlled epilepsy, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, poorly controlled hypertension, chronic lung diseases, e.g., obstructive pneumonia, interstitial pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, and severe emphysema, kidney diseases, e.g., chronic renal failure, acute renal failure, phenylketonuria and nephrotic syndrome, cardiac diseases, e.g., New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification Class III or IV), phenylketonuria and/or other severe conditions in the opinion of the investigator. 14. Suspected or known hypersensitivity (including allergy) to any of the drug components or contrast media. 15. Subject with hereditary fructose intolerance. 16. With a cardiac pacemaker or an unremovable metal implant in the head and neck region that will interfere with MRI-based dose-planning or tumor response evaluation. 17. Restless subjects who are unable to lie or sit in a cast for 30-60 mins. 18. Any medical or psychiatric conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with optimal participation in the study or place the subject at increased risk of adverse events (AEs). 19. Concurrent systemic cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy (including cetuximab or EGFR oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors), or immunotherapy. 20. History of substance or alcohol abuse within 6 months prior to the screening visit. 21. Female subject who is planning to be pregnant or lactating during the study period. 22. Subject who is considered unfit to participate in the clinical study as assessed by the investigator -

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.

NCT06668987
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.
