Improved Therapy Response Assessment in Metastatic Brain Tumors

Study Purpose

TREATMENT is an observational study addressing the need for knowledge and adequate diagnostic biomarkers in the response assessment of patients with brain metastasis. Reliable response assessment will be highly relevant in the coming years given the introduction of next-generation cancer drugs, including immunotherapy. This project uses advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Vessel Architecture Imaging (VAI) to better understand the response to traditional stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and immunotherapy. Secondary objectives include: In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to reveal parameters of traditional, immunotherapeutic, and anti-angiogenic therapy response. In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to compare results with traditional biomarkers. Use existing infrastructure at Oslo University Hospital to standardize therapy monitoring. In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to separate real tumor progression from treatment-induced pseudoprogression or radionecrosis.In patients with brain metastases, use advanced MRI and Vessel Architectural Imaging methods to assess whether anti-angiogenic drugs improve delivery of chemotherapy.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Eligible Ages 18 Years and Over
Gender All
More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Participants must have histologically - or - radiographically confirmed metastatic disease from a primary non-small-cell lung cancer - or - metastatic melanoma.
  • - Participants must have measurable disease in the central nervous system (CNS), defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension as ≥5 mm with MRI - or - compromise more than 30 image voxels on perfusion MRI to ensure adequate parametric statistical assessments.
For a perfusion MRI resolution of 1.2x1.2x5mm, this equals a tumor volume of 0.2cubic centimeters (cc).
  • - Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1 (Karnofsky ≥60%) - Life expectancy of greater than 6 weeks.
  • - Eligible for stereotactic radiosurgery.
  • - Have normal organ functions per clinical guidelines.
  • - Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.
  • - Previously untreated asymptomatic brain metastases - or - progressive brain metastases after systemic therapy or prior local therapy such as radiation or surgery as defined by: 1.
Untreated measurable lesions in patients that have received surgery and/or SRS to one or more other lesions. 2. Residual or progressive lesions after surgery if asymptomatic. 3. Patients who have had prior whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT) and/or SRS and then whose lesions have progressed are eligible. Lesions treated with SRS may be eligible if there is unequivocal evidence of progression. 4. Progression after prior systemic therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Participants who received major surgery must have recovered adequately from the toxicity and/or complications from the intervention prior to starting therapy.
  • - Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or hypersensitivity to ipilimumab or any of its excipients (Cohorts C and D).
  • - Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • - Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial.
  • - Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the trial, starting with the pre-screening or screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of trial treatment.
  • - Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment.
  • - Has active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (i.e. with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs).
Replacement therapy (eg., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency, etc.) is not considered a form of systemic treatment.
  • - Has a known history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies).
- Unable to undergo brain MRI

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT03458455
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

: A

Patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer receiving stereotactic radiosurgery to selected lesions

: B

Patients with brain metastases from malignant melanoma receiving stereotactic radiosurgery to selected lesions

: C

Patients with brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer receiving stereotactic radiosurgery to selected lesions + nivolumab or pembrolizumab

Interventions

Diagnostic Test: - Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Vessel Architectural Imaging is an MRI-based tumor diagnostic framework providing a powerful tool for non-invasive, in vivo assessment of diagnostic biomarkers relevant for these new therapy forms; microvascular function and tumor oxygenation.

Radiation: - Stereotactic Radiosurgery

A non-surgical radiation therapy used to treat tumors of the brain. It can deliver precisely-targeted radiation in fewer high-dose treatments than traditional therapy, which can help preserve healthy tissue.

Drug: - Ipilimumab, nivolumab or pembrolizumab

A type of therapy that uses substances to stimulate the immune system to help the body fight cancer by blocking inhibitory receptors on lymphocytes to overcome immune tolerance.
