What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests BMX-001, an injectable drug, added to standard radiation and chemotherapy for newly diagnosed aggressive brain cancer patients. The goal is to see if BMX-001 can improve survival and protect brain function.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults over 18 with a recent (within 12 weeks) surgical intervention for high-grade glioma, WHO grade III or IV. They must be ready to start standard radiation and chemotherapy, have good organ function and performance status, agree to use contraception if sexually active, and not have any severe infections or other health conditions that could interfere with the study.

Inclusion Criteria

If sexually active, patients must agree to use appropriate contraceptive measures for the duration of the study and for 12 months afterwards as stated in the informed consent

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• BMX-001
• Radiation Therapy
• Temozolomide

Trial Overview The trial is testing BMX-001 in combination with standard radiation therapy and temozolomide in patients newly diagnosed with high-grade glioma. The goal is to see if BMX-001 improves survival rates and cognitive functions compared to the standard treatment alone. Patients are randomly assigned to either receive BMX-001 along with chemoradiation or just chemoradiation.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Phase 2 Arm A: Radiation Therapy, TMZ and BMX-001 Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

Patients will receive standard of care radiation therapy plus temozolomide (TMZ). BMX-001 will be given by subcutaneous injection with a loading dose of 28 mg/subject given within 4 days prior to initiation of radiation therapy and followed by biweekly maintenance doses at half the loading dose for a total of 8 weeks. A total of 80 subjects will receive BMX-001 in this phase.

Group II: Phase 1 Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

All subjects enrolled will receive BMX-001 at one of 4 different dose levels. BMX-001 will be given by subcutaneous injection with a loading dose given within 4 days prior to initiation of radiation therapy and followed by biweekly maintenance doses (half the dosing dose) for a total of 8 weeks. Subjects will also undergo standard therapy (radiation therapy plus temozolomide \[TMZ\])

Group III: Phase 2 Arm B: Radiation Therapy and TMZ Active Control 2 Interventions

In this arm, one-half of the study subjects will not receive BMX-001 but will undergo all components of standard therapy (radiation therapy plus temozolomide \[TMZ\]). A total of 80 subjects will be in this study arm.
