A Phase I Trial of Hypofractionated Stereotactic Irradiation (HFSRT) With Pembrolizumab and Bevacizumab in Patients With Recurrent High Grade Gliomas
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Hypofractionated Stereotactic Irradiation (HFSRT), Pembrolizumab, and 1 other intervention for Malignant Glioma. Completed, enrolled 32 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if the addition of the investigation drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda®) to radiation therapy and bevacizumab (Avastin®) is safe and can help with controlling the growth of tumors, in participants with recurrent high grade glioma.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Radiation therapy treatment (FSRT) which will be given to participants over 5 days.
Dose Escalation: The dose of pembrolizumab will be escalated per schema in a 3+3 fashion. The starting dose (i.e., dose level 1) will be 100 mg. Dose Expansion: The pembrolizumab dose used in the dose expansion cohort will be maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determined from the dose escalation phase.
Initial cycle of bevacizumab must start within 10 days of registering to the trial. It will be given concurrent with radiation therapy. Bevacizumab will be administered intravenously at a dose of 10 mg/kg every 2 weeks. Doses will be adjusted if there is a \> 10% change in weight.
