TM-601 Trial

The Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Washington Medical Center is currently enrolling patients in a Phase II clinical trial involving adult patients with recurrent malignant glioma: A Phase II Open-Label, Multiple-Dose Study of Intracavitary Administered 131I-TM-601 In Adult Patients with Recurrent High-Grade Glioma. Participants will receive an investigational radiopharmaceutical drug called 131I-TM-601. TM-601 is a small synthetic peptide that specifically targets and binds to glioma tumor cells, concurrently delivering the radioactive iodine isotope 131I.

The principal goals of this study are to:

  • Determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose of 131I-TM-601 administered intracavitary to patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.
  • Determine the toxicity of a three (3) and six (6) dose cycle of 131I-TM-601 administrations into the tumor resection site of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma
  • Evaluate the 6 and 12-month rate of progression and survival of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma treated with a three (3) or six (6) dose cycle of 131I-TM-601
  • Evaluate the overall time to progression and death of patients with recurrent high-grade glioma treated with either a three (3) or six (6) dose cycle of 131I-TM-601

A PHASE II OPEN-LABEL, MULTIPLE-DOSE STUDY OF INTRACAVITARY ADMINISTERED 131I-TM-601 IN ADULT PATIENTS WITH RECURRENT HIGH-GRADE GLIOMA

PI: ROBERT ROSTOMILY MD/NEUROSURGERY 206-543-3570
RESEARCH RN: LISA MANDELL, 206-616-8967

Criteria for Inclusion:

Disease Characteristics:

  • Patient has had prior histologically confirmed diagnosis of malignant glioma (grade 3 or 4, including anaplastic astrocytoma, gliosarcoma, glioblastoma multiforme or malignant oligoastrocytoma)
  • Glioma has progressed or recurred following radiotherapy that was no less than 50 Gy (+/- chemotherapy; +/- surgery)
  • The patient is a candidate for re-operation independent of intended treatment with 131 I-TM-601
  • Imaging shows recurrent, unilateral, supratentorial tumor(s). Resection of tumor(s) must result in one resection cavity which can be resected in a single contiguous surgical cavity. The presence of non-contiguous satellite lesions is an exclusion.
  • Based on the neurosurgeon's judgment, a single surgical cavity of less than 100 cc in volume will be created and result in removal of ≥ 80% of the tumor burden (based on T1 weighed gadolinium image)
  • There is no diffuse leptomeningeal disease
  • For patients with previous radio-surgery or enhanced radiotherapy, based on the neurosurgeon’s judgment, the area of enhancement can be removed during surgery
  • Based on the neurosurgeon’s judgment, there is no anticipated physical connection between the post-resection tumor cavity and the cerebral ventricle

Patient Characteristics:
  • Male or female adult patients 18 years of age or older or as defined by state law
  • Patient has recovered from toxicity of prior therapies; an interval of at least 12 weeks must have elapsed since the completion of the most recent course of radiation (including radiosurgery and enhanced radiotherapy), treatment with Gliadel® or the previous surgery, while at least 4 weeks must have elapsed since the completion of a non-nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen and at least 6 weeks since the completion of a nitrosourea containing chemotherapy regimen
  • Patient has a Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 60%
  • Patient’s life expectancy, based on the Investigator’s judgment, is at least 3 months
  • Patient has no uncontrolled seizures or other neurological conditions which would interfere with evaluation
  • Patient is not currently receiving, or is not anticipated to receive, concomitant anticancer agent(s) during the course of this study
  • Patient is able to give voluntary written informed consent and can comply with the study protocol
