A Phase 2 Randomized, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Silevertinib, an Oral EGFR Inhibitor, in Combination With Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma With Unmethylated MGMT Promoter and EGFRvIII
Black Diamond Therapeutics, Inc.
Summary
The purpose of this study is to see if combining silevertinib with temozolomide after surgery and radiotherapy helps treat newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) better than using temozolomide alone in the maintenance setting. Specifically, this study is being done to find answers to the following questions: * How much of the study drugs (silevertinib combined with temozolomide) should be given to participants with GBM? * What are the side effects participants have when taking the study drug (silevertinib combined with temozolomide)? * Can the study drug (silevertinib combined with temozolomide) help participants with GBM live longer without disease progression compared to treatment with temozolomide alone?
Description
Silevertinib was designed to block a growth signal important to some cancers where tumors grow because of changes in a protein called epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). These changes are called gene amplifications, mutations, or alterations and are found in tumors. Temozolomide is a drug that fights cancer cells by damaging DNA (the genetic material of cells), which could cause the tumor cells to die. It is the standard treatment for adults with certain types of newly diagnosed brain cancer, like GBM. It is given together with radiotherapy and sometimes afterward as maintenance therapy.…
