Background: About 90,000 new cases of brain and spinal cord tumors are diagnosed annually in the United States. Most of these tumors are benign; however, about 30% are malignant, and 35% of people with malignant tumors in the brain and spinal cord will die within 5 years.
Phase 2: researchers already know a roughly safe dose (from phase 1). This stage asks whether the treatment actually helps the condition, and watches side effects more closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are PLX038. The registry lists allocation as randomized. Background: About 90,000 new cases of brain and spinal cord tumors are diagnosed annually in the United States.
They plan to enroll about 146 people at Bethesda. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill) plus check-ins.
Official title (unrewritten)
Phase I/II Trial of PLX038 in Primary Central Nervous System Tumors With and Without MYC or MYCN Amplifications
Interventions: PLX038
Primary outcome (registry wording): Phase I: To confirm the RP2D of PLX038 in participants with progressive or recurrent primary CNS tumors
Who it is for (from inclusion criteria)
Ages 18 Years to 120 Years
Participants must have documented pathologic diagnosis of confirmed primary central nervous system (CNS) tumor with one of the below diagnoses:
Cohort Phase I: Any recurrent or progressive primary CNS tumor, regardless of molecular features
Cohort Phase IIA: Newly diagnosed MYCN amplified ependymoma after surgery and radiation
Recurrent or progressive MYCN amplified ependymoma, OR
Recurrent or progressive medulloblastoma with MYC or MYCN amplifications
Cohort Phase IIC: Any other recurrent or progressive primary CNS tumor with MYC or MYCN amplifications
Cohort Phase IID: Any recurrent glioblastoma without MYC or MYCN amplifications
Who the registry excludes
History of allergic reactions to compounds of similar chemical composition to PLX038
Major surgery within 2 weeks prior to study treatment initiation. NOTE: The surgery is considered major if a mesenchymal barrier is opened (pleural cavity, peritoneum, meninges)
History of treatment with pegylated topoisomerase inhibitors
Has unresolved or persistent grade 2 or higher GI toxicity from any type of RT at screening
Participants with history of homozygous for the UGT1A1\*28 variant allele with severely reduced UGT1A1 activity
Participants positive for Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), Hepatitis C virus (HCV), and Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
Pregnancy (confirmed with beta human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) serum or urine pregnancy test performed in females of childbearing potential at screening)
We will investigate the clinical manifestations and molecular genetic defects of heritable urologic malignant disorders. Families with urologic malignancy with known or suspected genetic basis will be enrolled.
This protocol will evaluate patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and their relatives to learn more about how the disease develops and changes over time. It will also study genetic factors that make a person susceptible to SLE.
This study is designed to explore the genetics and pathophysiology of diseases presenting with intermittent fever, including familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome, and related diseases. The following individuals may be eligible for this natural history study: 1) patients with known or suspected familial Mediterranean fever, TRAPS, hyper-IgD syndrome or related disorders; 2) relatives of these patients; 3) healthy, normal volunteers 7 years of age or older.
