https://www.cancerresearchuk.org/about-cancer/find-a-clinical-trial/a-study-looking-at-a-targeted-treatment-for-glioblastoma-citadel-123 Background and study aims In this study, a type of therapy called targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) will be used to treat patients with relapsed glioblastoma. The TRT in this study, 123I-ATT001, contains two parts. A radioactive part is a radioactive iodine isotope and a chemical part, which can bind to specific targets (proteins) inside cancer cells to kill them while having a much weaker effect on healthy cells. 123I-ATT001 is a new experimental treatment, meaning it has not been approved by any regulatory authorities, such as the UK’s MHRA. This new treatment will only be available for those enrolled in this study. Who can participate? Patients aged 18 years old and over with relapsed glioblastoma multiforme What does the study involve? The study consists of two parts. Part 1 is a dose escalation study, where three doses of 123I-ATT001 will be tested, starting with the lowest dose. When the Data Monitoring Committee declare a recommended dose, an additional 8 patients will be recruited at that dose level in Part 1 of the study. In Part 2, one dose of 123I-ATT001 will be tested in a larger group of patients in combination with other therapies. Part 2 will begin after Part 1 has been completed. 123I-ATT001 will be given via an Ommaya reservoir. An Ommaya reservoir is a soft, plastic, dome-shaped device that is placed under the scalp. In Part 1 participants will receive a 123I-ATT001 dose, once per week, for four weeks. Each week is considered a treatment cycle. Any participant who tolerates the 123I-ATT-001 treatments well and shows clinical benefit (e.g., tumour size reduction) may receive up to two additional treatments (one per week). This will be a joint decision between the doctor and the participant. The doctor may decide to reduce the dose or extend the time between treatment cycles in response to any side effects. However, no further treatments will be given in case any unacceptable side effects are observed. The specific details and combination therapies for Part 2 of the study will be added via a substantial amendment at a later date. What are the possible benefits and risks of participating? The study uses an unlicensed drug that also contains radiation. Only trained members of the research team will administer the drug. A radiation expert has reviewed the maximum dose of radiation that a patient could be exposed to and deemed this acceptable. The study also uses ionising radiation in the form of SPECT-CT scans. A radiation expert has reviewed the proposed number of scans and found them to be acceptable. Blood samples also carry risks in terms of possible bruising. Only those who have been appropriately trained in phlebotomy will take samples. There are several visits for this study which may present a time burden to the patients. The sponsor has tried to minimise the number of visits to ensure the minimum burden to the patients. The surgery and installation of the Ommaya reservoir carries the risk of infection and will also mean participants have small bumps on their heads. This procedure is usually carried out as part of the standard of care in this patient population. No additional precautions are needed to be taken by patients after the radiation exposure except pregnancy prevention. Female patients who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant within 3 months following the end of the study, or are breast-feeding, are excluded from the study. Male patients should also not father a baby whilst taking part in the study and for 3 months after the last dose of the study drug. Patients of childbearing potential will have a pregnancy test at the beginning of the study and will be asked to use two highly effective and complementary forms of contraception.
