A Study of Temodar With Abexinostat (PCI-24781) for Patients With Recurrent Glioma

Summary

Glioblastoma (GBM), WHO grade IV glioma, represents the majority of adult malignant primary brain tumors, with an incidence of 2-3 per 100,000 person-years. The survival for GBM has increased in the last decade but is still low with a median survival of 15-18 months. Recurrence after initial standard therapy, radiation therapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide, few options are available. Even with further therapy, median progression free survival at 6 months after first relapse (PFS-6) is only 15%. Similarly, anaplastic astrocytoma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma, grade III gliomas, once recurrent after radiation therapy and first-line chemotherapy, have identical therapeutic options and poor outcomes with PFS-6 of 31%. Temozolomide (TMZ) has a favorable side effect profile and is available orally, however, cytotoxicity occurs. Metronomic temozolomide at low doses on a continuous schedule, have demonstrated better survival in studies. This study will determine the recommended dose and the side effects of PCI-24781/Abexinostat with metronomic temozolomide.
