Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness of a drug called erlotinib in treating the tumor. This is a multi-center pilot study that explores efficacy and molecular effects of high dose we...

Detailed Description

This is a pilot study of erlotinib for subjects who have a brain tumor called a glioblastoma or another malignant glioma, which has continued to grow after treatment. The purpose of this study is to t...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Histologically confirmed intracranial malignant glioma of the following types: Glioblastoma (GBM), Gliosarcoma (GS), Anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), Anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO), Anaplastic oligoastrocytoma (AOA, also called anaplastic mixed gliomas or AMG), High grade glioma not otherwise specified (NOS).
  • EGFRvIII mutation detected on pretreatment tissue from at least 1 prior surgery.
  • At least 15 unstained slides or at least 1 tissue blocks must be collected from at least one prior surgery.
  • Recovered from toxic effects of prior therapies.
  • Able to undergo contrast enhanced MRI scans (or CT scans for patients unable to tolerate MRI).
  • Shown unequivocal evidence for contrast enhancing tumor progression by MRI (or CT for patients who cannot tolerate MRI) in comparison to a prior scan.
  • Age \> or = 18 years.
  • Karnofsky Performance Status \> or = 60%.
  • Life expectancy of \> 8 weeks.
  • Normal organ and marrow function, adequate liver function and adequate renal function before starting therapy.
  • Women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test documented within 7 days prior to treatment.
  • Women must agree not to breast feed.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • Ability to swallow the tablets.
  • Cohort A (medical) specific inclusion criteria:
  • Fulfill all of the general inclusion criteria.
  • MRI/CT must demonstrate measurable enhancing tumor of at least 1cm2 in cross-sectional area to allow assessment of radiographic response, unless: measurable disease is not present because the patient underwent gross total resection as the most recent anti-tumor therapy.
  • At least 3 months have elapsed between any prior brain radiotherapy and initiation of study therapy.
  • MRI/CT must demonstrate measureable enhancing tumor at least 1cm by 1cm squared in cross-sectional area to allow assessment of radiographic response.
  • Stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids for a minimum of 5 days before the baseline MRI/CT.
  • The baseline MRI/CT must be performed on the 14th day or less prior to initiation of study treatment.
  • Cohort B (surgical) specific inclusion criteria:
  • Fulfill all of the general inclusion criteria.
  • An MRI/CT scan showing progression is required.

Exclusion

  • Received prior treatment with convection enhanced delivery, other catheter based intratumoral treatment, or carmustine (BCNU)/Gliadel wafers.
  • Prior therapy that included stereotactic radiosurgery during therapy for newly diagnosed or recurrent disease, or re-irradiation of any type, must have confirmation of true progressive disease rather than radiation necrosis based upon surgical documentation of recurrent/progressive disease.
  • Prior treatment with an EGFR inhibitor.
  • Received prior treatment with direct Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Receptors (VEGFR) inhibitors.
  • Smoking or plan to smoke tobacco or marijuana during study therapy.
  • Receiving any other investigational agents concurrently with study treatment.
  • Taking Enzyme Inducing Anti-Epileptic Drug (EIAED). If previously on an EIAED, the patient must be off of it for at least two weeks prior to study treatment.
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to erlotinib.
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Have HIV and are receiving combination antiretroviral therapy.
  • Other active concurrent malignancy.
