Abstract CT062: GBM AGILE: A global, phase 2/3 adaptive platform trial to evaluate multiple regimens in newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma

Abstract

Abstract Background: GBM AGILE (Glioblastoma Adaptive, Global, Innovative Learning Environment) is a biomarker based, multi-arm, international, seamless Phase 2/3 Response Adaptive Randomization platform trial designed to rapidly identify experimental therapies that improve overall survival and confirm efficacious experimental therapies and associated biomarker signatures to support new drug approvals and registration. GBM AGILE is a collaboration between academic investigators, patient organizations and industry to support new drug applications for newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM. Methods: The primary objective of GBM AGILE is to identify therapies that improve the overall survival in patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent GBM. Operating under a Master Protocol, GBM AGILE allows multiple drugs from different pharmaceutical/biotech companies to be evaluated simultaneously and/or over time against a common control. New experimental therapies are added as new information about promising new drugs is identified while other therapies are removed as they complete their evaluation. Bayesian response adaptive randomization is used within subtypes of the disease to assign participants to investigational arms based on their performance. GBM AGILE has screened over 1300 patients and enrollment rates are 3 to 4 times greater than traditional GBM trials, with active sites averaging 0.75 to 1 patients/site/month. There are 41 active sites in the US, 4 active sites in Canada and 3 active sites in Europe with 12 more sites anticipated to open across 3 countries in Europe. Expansion to Australia is in progress. Stratification of the newly diagnosed patients is based on methylation status per the MGMT assay provided by a central CLIA lab. Maintaining reasonable timelines for MGMT read out to support eligibility and screening requires ongoing operational oversight. In order to continue to improve MGMT testing times, the percentage discordance between results from central testing and local lab testing is being evaluated to assess if local lab testing can be utilized for randomization within GBM AGILE. Exploratory analyses are ongoing to expand knowledge of GBM. For example, information from imaging and clinical assessments will be used to build a longitudinal model, which may inform randomization by providing earlier and continuous information regarding how a given experimental arm is performing.
