EF-41/KEYNOTE D58: Phase 3 Study of Optune Concomitant With Temozolomide Plus Pembrolizumab in Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

Description

This is a multicenter, two-arm, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of Optune® (Tumor Treating Fields at 200 kHz) together with maintenance Temozolomide (TMZ) chemotherapy agent and pembrolizumab compared to Optune® together with maintenance TMZ and placebo in newly diagnosed Glioblastoma (GBM) patients. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the Overall Survival (OS).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

For general information about clinical research, read Learn About Studies.

Eligibility Criteria

  • 1. The participant (or legally acceptable representative) has provided documented informed consent for the study.
  • 2. Be ≥ 18 years of age on day of providing informed consent.
  • 3. Participant with new diagnosis of GBM according to World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 Classification.
  • 4. Recovered from maximal debulking surgery (gross total resection, partial resection and biopsy-only patients are all acceptable), Gliadel wafers placement at the time of surgical resection is allowed.
  • 5. Have completed standard adjuvant chemoradiotherapy of radiotherapy (RT) according to local practice (56-64 Gy), and concomitant TMZ chemotherapy.
  • 6. Amenable to treatment with Optune concomitant with maintenance TMZ (150-200 mg/m\^2 daily x 5, Q28 days).
  • 7. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 1 assessed within 7 days before randomization.
  • 8. Stable or decreasing dose of corticosteroids (dexamethasone ≤ 2mg or equivalent) for the last 7 days prior to randomization, if applicable.
  • 1. Has received prior therapy with an anti-Programmed Cell Death 1 (PD-1), anti- Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 1(PD-L1), or anti Programmed Cell Death-Ligand 2 (PD-L2) agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (e.g.Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte-Associated protein 4 (CTLA-4), OX 40, CD137).
  • 2. Ongoing requirement for \>2 mg dexamethasone (or equivalent), due to intracranial mass effect.
  • 3. Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to randomization.
  • 4. Received a live or live-attenuated vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Administration of killed vaccines are allowed.
  • 5. Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first study treatment.
  • 6. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days prior the first dose of study medication. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 3 years.
  • 7. Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease that required steroids or has current pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease.
  • 8. Early progressive disease after the end of TMZ/RT. If pseudo progression is suspected, additional imaging studies should be performed to rule out true progression.
  • 9. Infratentorial or leptomeningeal disease.
