Abstract
Background: Irinotecan demonstrates anti-tumor efficacy in preclinical glioma models but clinical results are modest due to drug delivery limitations. Convection enhanced delivery (CED) improves drug delivery by increasing intratumoral drug concentration. Real-time magnetic resonance imaging of infusate delivery during CED may optimize tumor coverage. This phase 1 trial examines the safety and tolerability of liposomal irinotecan and gadolinium delivered via CED using real-time MRI guidance in recurrent high-grade glioma patients.
Methods: Initially, a 3 + 3 dose-escalating, single dose trial was planned with 4 cohorts based on a fixed drug dose and volume. After 9 patients, a protocol amendment allowed for variable volume and dose of the study agent based on tumor size. The amended design specified 'personalized' drug volume but fixed concentration of 20 mg/mL of liposomal irinotecan in the first cohort escalating to 40 mg/mL in the second cohort.
Results: Eighteen patients with recurrent WHO grade 3 or 4 gliomas (diameter 1-4 cm) were treated. Based on the tumor volume, the total dose of liposomal irinotecan was 20-680 mg in a total volume of 2-17 ml. Technical challenges were overcome by real-time MRI guidance and protocol amendment. The only dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) was a grade 3 stroke. Safety and survival information is presented.
Conclusions: CED of liposomal irinotecan using real-time MRI in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma is feasible. Image-guidance allowed for improved placement of CED cannulas and optimal tumor coverage. Our results warrant further study with repeat CED dosing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Neuro-Oncology is a multi-disciplinary journal encompassing basic, applied, and clinical investigations in all research areas as they relate to cancer and the central nervous system. It provides a single forum for communication among neurologists, neurosurgeons, radiotherapists, medical oncologists, neuropathologists, neurodiagnosticians, and laboratory-based oncologists conducting relevant research. The Journal of Neuro-Oncology does not seek to isolate the field, but rather to focus the efforts of many disciplines in one publication through a format which pulls together these diverse interests. More than any other field of oncology, cancer of the central nervous system requires multi-disciplinary approaches. To alleviate having to scan dozens of journals of cell biology, pathology, laboratory and clinical endeavours, JNO is a periodical in which current, high-quality, relevant research in all aspects of neuro-oncology may be found.
