Trial Summary

Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?

The trial protocol does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, participants with seizures must have their condition controlled on a stable regimen of anti-epileptic drugs, and those on corticosteroids must be on a stable or decreasing dose. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug Temozolomide for glioblastoma?

Research shows that Temozolomide, when used with radiotherapy, improves survival in patients with glioblastoma, making it a standard treatment. It has been effective in treating various brain tumors and is known to work well when certain genetic markers are present.12345

Is the combination of Debio 0123 and Temozolomide safe for humans?

Temozolomide, often used with radiation therapy for brain tumors like glioblastoma, is generally considered safe but can cause blood-related side effects such as myelosuppression (a decrease in bone marrow activity), which can be severe in some cases. Other common side effects include fatigue, nausea, and vomiting. There is no specific safety data available for Debio 0123 in combination with Temozolomide.16789

What makes the Debio 0123 + Temozolomide treatment for glioblastoma unique?

The Debio 0123 + Temozolomide treatment is unique because it combines a new drug, Debio 0123, with the standard treatment of Temozolomide and radiotherapy, potentially enhancing the effectiveness of the existing regimen by targeting different pathways in cancer cells.3451011

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a new drug called Debio 0123 combined with standard treatments for adults with aggressive brain cancer. It aims to find the best dose, ensure safety, and check if it works better than current treatments.

Treatment Details

Interventions

  • Debio 0123
  • Radiotherapy
  • Temozolomide
Trial Overview The trial is testing Debio 0123 in combination with Temozolomide (TMZ), both alone and alongside radiotherapy for glioblastoma patients. Phase 1 determines the safest dose while Phase 2 compares its effectiveness against standard care.

Findings from Research

Temozolomide (TMZ) is the only anticancer drug proven to improve survival in glioblastoma when used with radiotherapy, showing high concentrations in brain tumors and cerebrospinal fluid, which enhances its effectiveness.
Molecular markers like MGMT promoter methylation can predict better responses to TMZ treatment, but side effects such as myelosuppression and nausea are common, necessitating precautions like prophylaxis against Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia.
[Temozolomide: Temodal].Shinoura, N., Yamada, R., Tabei, Y., et al.[2018]
In a study of 1157 glioblastoma multiforme patients, the addition of temozolomide (TMZ) to radiotherapy (RT) significantly improved median overall survival from 9.0 months with RT alone to 16.2 months with RT + TMZ (P < .001).
The two-year survival rate increased from 4% with RT alone to 25% with the combination of RT and TMZ, confirming the efficacy of TMZ in enhancing survival outcomes in GBM patients.
A population-based study on the effect of temozolomide in the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme.Rønning, PA., Helseth, E., Meling, TR., et al.[2022]
In a study of 432 glioblastoma patients, those receiving daily temozolomide (TMZ) during radiotherapy (7 days a week) had a median survival of 15.7 months, significantly longer than those receiving TMZ only on radiotherapy days (12.6 months) or no TMZ (9.1 months).
The analysis indicated that continuous TMZ administration not only improved survival rates but also showed a significant influence on hazard rates, confirming that while even a reduced TMZ schedule can extend survival, daily administration is more effective.
