RMC-5552 Monotherapy in Adult Subjects With Recurrent Glioblastoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase I/Ib trial tests the side effects, best dose, tolerability, and effectiveness of RMC-5552 in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). RMC-5552 is a type of medicine called an mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor. These types of drugs prevent the formation of a specific group of proteins called mTOR. This protein controls cancer cell growth, and the study doctors believe stopping mTOR from forming may help to kill tumor cells.

RP2D is defined as the selected dose that will be given to participants in Cohorts B and then C. The RP2D will be either the MTD or one dose level lower based on an analysis of the safety data collected in Cohort A, and discussions between the sponsor-investigator and representatives of RevMed.
- Number of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (Cohort A) [Up to 1 cycle (1 cycle is equal to 21 days)]
The frequency of adverse events classified by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version (v)5.0 determined to be DLTs will be reported by dose level.
- Frequency of Grade 3 or Higher Adverse Events (Cohort A) [Up to 1 year after enrollment]
Adverse events and clinically significant laboratory abnormalities (meeting Grade 3, 4, or 5 criteria according to CTCAE) for participants in Cohort A will be summarized by maximum intensity and relationship to study drug.
- Median concentration of RMC-5552 in plasma (Cohort B) [At end of infusion & at time of surgery, 1 day]
Median drug levels of RMC-5552 concentration in plasma of participants in Cohort B will be measured on the day of surgery.
- Median concentration of RMC-5552 in tumor (Cohort B) [At time of surgery, 1 day]
Median drug levels of RMC-5552 in tumor tissue of participants in Cohort B will be measured at time of tumor issue removal/surgical resection. The statistical analysis will be descriptive and will be limited to summary statistics for RMC-5552 concentration in tumor (non-enhancing, enhancing, and border).
