Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43881   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7295   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    Primary Efficacy Objective The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of the CUSP9v3 Treatment Pro-tocol in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Phase Ib: Evaluation of tolerability and safety with dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) in participating patients. Phase IIa: Assessment of overall response including complete response (CR), partial response (PR) and stable disease (SD). Secondary Efficacy Objective To evaluate overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) according to Kaplan-Meier estimates in adult patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma. To evaluate best tumor response according to the RANO criteria. Safety Objectives Incidence and intensity of adverse events (AEs) assessed according to NCI Common Termi-nology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03.
    Protection of trial subjects
    In this study, safety was assessed by evaluating the following: reported adverse events, clini-cal laboratory test results, vital signs measurements, ECG findings, physical and neurological examination findings, monitoring of concomitant therapy. For each safety parameter, all find-ings (whether normal or abnormal) were recorded in the eCRF. Adverse events were coded and graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), Version 4.03 of the US National Cancer Institute (http://ctep.info.nih.gov/reporting/ctc.html).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    First patient in: 13.11.2016 Last patient last visit: 11.12.2020 Ten patients were included between August 2016 and April 2018. A total of 12 patients were screened. One patient could not be included because of high serum transaminases and one because of acute deep vein thrombosis.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    1. Patients with a diagnosis of glioblastoma WHO grade IV (histologically confirmed by a pathologist). Patients with prior low-grade glioma are eligible if histological transfor-mation to WHO grade IV glioblastoma was confirmed. 2. Progression (according to RANO criteria) after prior radiation and temozolomide treatment

    Arm description
    Treatment initiation encompassed the addition of the 9 drugs to uninterrupted temozolomide and comprised an induction cycle with 2 phases: a low-dose drug-by-drug addition phase followed by an up-dosing phase. Patients were hospitalized during the drug-by-drug addition phase, which lasted 18 days, to monitor tolerability and drug-drug interactions. The treatment started with temozolomide (20 mg/m2 BSA b.i.d.) and aprepitant (80 mg q.d.) on day 1, followed by the addition of 1 drug every 2 days (day 3, day 5 etc.) at low-dose level. The last drug (auranofin) was added on day 17. On day 19, up-dosing phase started with the dose of only one drug being increased every 2 days. Doses of temozolomide and aprepitant remained unchanged, 7 drugs were up-dosed only once and 1 drug (ritonavir) was up-dosed twice. After reaching target doses of all drugs, the regimen remained unchanged until side effects (dose modifications and/or drug pausing) or until tumor progression continued CUSP9v3 regimen.
