Summary
Study start date: July 1, 2000
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: Determine the maximum tolerated dose, dose limiting toxicity, and safety profile of oral COL-3 alone or when combined with anticonvulsants known to be metabolized by CYP450 in patients with progressive or recurrent high grade anaplastic astrocytoma, anaplastic oligodendroglioma, or glioblastoma multiforme. Define the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of COL-3 on this schedule and determine the effects of hepatic enzyme inducing drugs, such as anticonvulsants, on the pharmacokinetics. Determine the response rate, disease free survival, and survival in patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation, multicenter study of COL-3. Patients are stratified by anticonvulsant (anticonvulsants that cause induction of CYP450 vs anticonvulsants that cause modest or no induction of CYP450 or no anticonvulsant). Phase I: Patients receive oral COL-3 daily. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of COL-3 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 6 patients experience dose limiting toxicity. Phase II: Patients receive oral COL-3 daily at the MTD from the phase I portion of this study. Patients are followed every 2 months until death. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 15-18 patients will be accrued for phase I of the study and a total of 35 patients will be accrued for phase II of the study at a rate of 3 patients per month.
