An Interventional, Multicenter, and International Phase 1/2, Light-dose-escalation Study to Investigate the Safety and Feasibility of Intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) With Pentalafen® Drug and Heliance® Solution Device in Male and Female Patients 18 to 75 Years of Age With Grade IV Glioblastoma.
Hemerion Therapeutics
Summary
The primary objective of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and tolerability of two doses of light in intraoperative PDT added to standard of care; temozolomide-based chemotherapy in male and female patients aged 18 to 75 with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. This treatment will be carried out in addition to the maximal surgical resection. Data collected during this trial will be used to design the upcoming pivotal study . The study will utilize an independent Data and Safety Monitoring Board (iDSMB) that will review safety data to allow dose escalation.
Description
This study is a non randomized, open label, multicentercenter , phase 1/2 trial with a sequential enrollment in a 3+3 dose escalation design to establish the maximal tolerated dose of light (MTD). The dose of light will be escalated in successive cohorts of patients until at least 1 patient experiences a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT). A DLT is defined as any grade ≥ 3 Adverse Event (AE), or any relevant grade 2 AE of Central Nervous System or any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) possibly, probably or definitively related to the intraoperative PDT (i.e., 5-aminolevulinic acid hydrochloride (5-ALA…

Interventions
- Combination Product5-ALA HCl intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) at 200 J/cm^2
5-ALA HCl, 20 mg/kg, is orally administered 4-6 hours before the surgery. Then after resection of tumor tissue is judged maximal, the intraoperative PDT procedure is initiated at 200 J/cm\^2.
- Combination Product5-ALA HCl intraoperative Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) at 400 J/cm^2
5-ALA HCl, 20 mg/kg, is orally administered 4-6 hours before the surgery. Then after resection of tumor tissue is judged maximal, the intraoperative PDT procedure is initiated at 400 J/cm\^2.
