Bicalutamide comme radiosensibilisateur dans la réirradiation du glioblastome récidivant

Date de début de l'étude : 8 avril 2025

Inclusion Criteria: * Histopathologically proven diagnosis of relapsed/refractory high-grade glioma (HGG) including glioblastoma or variants (gliosarcoma, giant cell glioblastoma etc), World Health Organization (WHO) grade IV, or anaplastic astrocytoma, or anaplastic oligodendroglioma, WHO grade III. Participants will be eligible if the original histology was lower-grade glioma and a subsequent diagnosis of HGG (secondary HGG) is made. * Participants who did not have surgery for their HGG within 5 weeks prior to enrollment must have shown unequivocal radiographic evidence for tumor progression by contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan (or CT scan for participants with non-compatible devices). Imaging completed prior to enrollment will be acceptable for eligibility purposes if completed within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. If imaging was not completed within 4 weeks prior to enrollment then imaging must be completed within 14 days after enrollment and prior to the start of RT. Participants unable to undergo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging because of non-compatible devices can be enrolled provided CT scans are obtained and are of sufficient quality. Participants without non-compatible devices may not use CT scans performed to meet this requirement. * Participants must have passed an interval of 6 months or greater between completion of prior radiotherapy and enrollment. If participants have not passed an interval of at least 6 months, they may still be eligible if they meet one or more of the following criteria: * New areas of tumor outside the original radiotherapy fields as determined by the investigator * Histologic confirmation of tumor through biopsy or resection * Nuclear medicine imaging, MR spectroscopy, or MR perfusion imaging consistent with true progressive disease, rather than radiation necrosis obtained within 28 days of registration AND an interval of at least 90 days between completion of previous radiotherapy and registration * Prior history of standard dose central nervous system (CNS) radiation of 60 Gy in 30 fractions or 59.4 Gy in 1.8 Gy fractions, or equivalent or lower doses. * Participants must have recovered from the toxic effects of prior chemotherapy, and there must be a minimum time of 14 days prior to enrollment from the administration of any investigational agent or prior cytotoxic therapy with the following exceptions: * 14 days from administration of vincristine * 42 days from administration of nitrosoureas * 21 days from administration of procarbazine * Participants having undergone recent resection of their glioblastoma (within 5 weeks prior to enrollment) must have recovered from the effects of surgery. For CNS related core or needle biopsies, a minimum of 7 days must have elapsed prior to enrollment. Residual disease following resection of recurrent glioblastoma is not mandated for eligibility into the study. * History/physical examination, including neurologic examination, within 14 days prior to enrollment * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) ≤ 2 within 14 days prior to enrollment * Age ≥ 19 (Age of majority in Nebraska) * Complete blood count (CBC)/differential obtained within 14 days of enrollment, with adequate bone marrow function. Adequate bone marrow reserve as follows: o Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,500 cells/mm3 Platelets ≥ 75,000 cells/mm3 Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dl (Note: The use of transfusion or other intervention to achieve Hgb ≥ 9.0 g/dl is acceptable.) Note: If a CBC w/differential was not obtained prior to enrollment it must be completed within 14 days of enrollment and prior to the start of bicalutamide. * Acceptable liver (total bilirubin \< 2.0 mg/dL, and glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or Aspartate Transferase (AST) \< 2.5 times the upper limit of normal) and renal function \[serum creatinine \< 1.8 mg/dL and calculated creatinine clearance \> 30 ml/min (Cockroft-Gault)\] within 14 days of enrollment. Note: If labs were not completed prior to enrollment they must be completed within 14 days of enrollment and prior to the start of bicalutamide. * Urine protein: creatinine (UPC) ratio \< 1.0 OR urine dipstick for proteinuria ≤ 2+ completed within 14 days of enrollment. If not completed prior to enrollment it must be completed within 14 days and prior to the start of bicalutamide. Note: Participants discovered to have \> 2+ proteinuria on dipstick urinalysis at baseline must have a UPC ratio done that is \<1.0 to be eligible. If the UPC ratio is ≥ 1.0 then the Participants will undergo a 24-hour urine collection and must demonstrate ≤ 1g of protein in 24 hours to be eligible. If a 24-hour urine collection is necessary it must be completed within 14 days of enrollment and prior to the start of bicalutamide. Note: UPC ratio of spot urine is an estimation of the 24-hour urine protein excretion; a UPC ratio of 1 is roughly equivalent to a 24-hour urine protein of 1 gm. UPC ratio is calculated using one of the following formulas: * \[urine protein\]/\[urine creatinine\]: if both protein and creatinine are reported in mg/dL * \[(urine protein) x0.088\]/\[urine creatinine\]: if urine creatinine is reported in mmol/L * Participants must not be pregnant (positive pregnancy test) or breast feeding; pregnancy test must be done within 7 days of enrollment and prior to the start of RT. Effective contraception (men and women), i.e., effective physical barrier methods, must be used in subjects of child-bearing potential while on study treatment and for 6 months after. Oral contraceptives are not allowed as a form of contraception due to potential interference of testosterone levels. * Participants on full-dose anticoagulants \[e.g., warfarin or low molecular weight heparin (LMW) heparin\] must meet both of the following criteria: * No active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (e.g., tumor involving major vessels or known varices) * In-range international normalised ratio (INR) (usually between 2 and 3) on a stable dose of oral anticoagulant or on a stable dose of low molecular weight heparin, within 14 days of enrollment and prior to the start of bicalutamide * Participants must be able to provide study-specific informed consent prior to study entry. Exclusion Criteria: * Infratentorial, or diffuse leptomeningeal evidence of recurrent disease. If focal leptomeningeal disease (per treating physician's determination of being "focal"), participants can be considered eligible. * Ongoing therapy with any androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) such as leuprolide acetate, degarelix, bicalutamide, flutamide, enzalutamide, apalutamide, abiraterone acetate, darolutamide or others per principal investigator's determination. If ADT has been stopped prior to the enrollment, at least 6 months of ADT-free time is required for eligibility. * Prior allergic reaction to the drug bicalutamide 3.2.4 Prior invasive malignancy (except non-melanomatous skin cancer) unless disease free for a minimum of 1 year (for example, carcinoma in situ of the breast, oral cavity, prostate, or cervix are all permissible). * Severe, active co-morbidity, defined as follows: * Unstable angina and/or congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization within the last 6 months prior to registration. * Congestive heart failure (NYHA functional capacity class II or greater). * Transmural myocardial infarction within the last 6 months prior to registration. * History of stroke or transient ischemic attack within 6 months prior to registration. * Ongoing arrhythmias of Grade \>2 \[CTCAE, version 5.0\]; Chronic stable atrial fibrillation on stable anticoagulant therapy is allowed. * Thromboembolic events (e.g., deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism) in the past 6 months. * Significant vascular disease (e.g., aortic aneurysm, history of aortic dissection) or clinically significant peripheral vascular disease. * Chronic stable atrial fibrillation on stable anticoagulant therapy is allowed. 3.2.6 Acute bacterial or fungal infection requiring intravenous antibiotics at the time of registration. * Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease exacerbation or other respiratory illness requiring hospitalization or precluding study therapy at the time of registration. * Known Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) diagnosis based upon current Centers for Disease Control (CDC) definition; note, however, that HIV testing is not required for entry into this protocol. The need to exclude participants with AIDS from this protocol is necessary because the treatments involved in this protocol may be significantly immunosuppressive. * Immuno-compromised participants with transplant in history are excluded. * Uncontrolled seizures or controlled seizure in the past 3 months but requires more than levetiracetam 500mg orally twice a day, i.e., with higher dose of levetiracetam or additional antiepileptics (excluding steroids). * Any prior history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive encephalopathy. 3.2.12 History of a non-healing wound, ulcer, or bone fracture within 90 days (3 months) prior to enrollment 3.2.13 Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule, including alcohol dependence or drug abuse. * Participants who are on testosterone supplement due to medical reasons that cannot be safely discontinued. * Participants who are on temozolomide treatment and have no plan to stop temozolomide prior to consent or who will be offered temozolomide concurrently with re-RT. Subjects on bevacizumab whose bevacizumab cannot be stopped are not eligible and bevacizumab is not allowed for concurrent use with bicalutamide and re-RT but is allowed after at least two weeks (washout time) after discontinuation of re-RT and bicalutamide.
