About this trial

The purpose of this study is to establish the recommended phase 2 dose of eflornithine in combination with temozolomide in patients whose glioblastoma or astrocytoma is newly diagnosed, and to evaluate safety and tolerability of this combination at that dose.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Diagnosis of World Health Organization (WHO) G4 classified GBM, IDH-wildtype (patients with GBM) or G3 astrocytoma (IDH1 or 2 mutant; CDKN2A/B intact) per WHO 2021 tumor classification.

Completed external beam radiation therapy per standard of care.

Patients with GBM: Must have received at least 80% of planned daily doses of TMZ during chemoradiation. Patients with astrocytoma: Must have tolerated adjuvant TMZ treatment through at least 2 and not more than 4 cycles.

Adequate hematologic, renal, hepatic, and other organ function as indicated by hematology and serum chemistry testing.

Disqualifiers

Recent history of recurrent or metastatic cancer that could confound response assessments

Prior systemic chemotherapy other than temozolomide during external beam radiation therapy (for patients with GBM) or adjuvant temozolomide through up to 4 pre-study cycles (for patients with astrocytoma).

Prior Optune treatment.

Active infection or serious intercurrent medical illness.
