Phase II Trial of Eflornithine/DFMO as Maintenance Therapy for Molecular High Risk/Very High Risk and Relapsed/Refractory Medulloblastoma
Summary
Difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) will be used in an open label, multicenter, study as Maintenance Therapy for Molecular High Risk/Very High Risk and Relapsed/Refractory Medulloblastoma.
Detailed description
In this study subjects will receive 730 Days of oral difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) at a dose of 2500 mg/m2 BID on each day of study. Subjects will be evaluated in 3 Cohorts: Cohort 1: Molecular High Risk Medulloblastoma Cohort 2: Molecular Very High Risk Medulloblastoma Cohort 3: Relapsed/Refractory Medulloblastoma A total of 118 subjects across all cohorts will be enrolled to ensure that there will be 107 evaluable subjects (32-39 per cohort)
Arms & interventions
- DrugDifluoromethylornithine
DFMO (difluoromethylornithine is an inhibitor of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) designated chemically as 2-(difluoromethyl)-DL-ornithine monohydrochloride monohydrate. The dosage form to be used in this study is provided as a convex tablet containing 192 mg eflornithine (equivalent to 250 mg of eflornithine HCl, monohydrate). The tablets are packaged and sealed in opaque white HDPE bottles, and each bottle contains 100 tablets. The DMFO tablets are supplied by USWorldMeds (USWM). The tablets are to be stored at room temperature (20-250C).
Outcome measures
Primary
Number of participants with event free survival (EFS) during study
o To evaluate the efficacy of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) as a single agent in preventing relapse in patients with molecular high risk and very high risk medulloblastoma, and relapsed/refractory medulloblastoma based upon the 2-year progression-free survival rate (PFS) compared to relevant historical controls.
Time frame: 2 years plus 5 years follow up
Secondary
Length of time that participants experience Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: 7 years
Determine the Overall Response Rate (ORR) of Participants using Modified RANO Criteria
Time frame: 2 years
Number of Participants with Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
Time frame: 2 years plus 30 days
Determine amount of DFMO in the CSF at 3 hours post dose
Time frame: 2 years
