Background: PFS6 is low (2.3%) and med OS brief (4 mos) for recurrent GBM pts who progress after prior RT/TMZ and bevacizumab (Bev), and then receive non-Bev containing regimens (Reardon et al, Br J Canc 2012). Following VEGFi exposure, tumor cell resistance potentially may result from activation of Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK (MAPK) and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways. Temsirolimus (mTOR inhibitor) and sorafenib (Raf, PDGFR, VEGFR inhibitor) have previously shown limited single agent activity in GBM. Methods: Recurrent GBM pts who showed radiographic progression despite prior surgery, RT + temozolomide, and VEGFi (initially or at recurrence) received sorafenib 200 mg PO bid and temsirolimus 20 mg IV weekly (the NCCTG N0572 phase I MTD) until progression. All pts had received < 2 prior chemo regimens. A two-stage design was used, with 90% power to detect an increase in PFS6 from 8% to 23%, requiring 41 evaluable pts. The primary endpoint was PFS6; secondary endpoints included OS, TTP, and ORR. Toxicity (TOX) was assessed using CTC ver 3.0. Results: 44 evaluable pts were accrued. Four of the first 40 (10%) reached PFS6, but this did not meet the pre-study threshold for success. Median TTP was 1.8 mos. (40 events, 95% CI: 1.5 – 2.3); median OS was 5 mos. (36 events, 95% CI: 6.6 – 3.1), and no objective responses were reported. Eight pts are alive; 4 have not progressed (median F/U 3.1 mos.; max, 12.2 mos.). Grade 3+ non-heme AE were observed in 51% (23/45; fatigue-5, hypophosphatemia-7, hypercholesterolemia-5, hypertriglyceridemia-5). One grade 4 hematologic AE (thrombocytopenia) occurred. 13.3% (6/45 pts) went off due to TOX, and 71.1% (32/45) due to disease progression. Conclusions: Sorafenib plus temsirolimus was tolerable, but the primary endpoint threshold for success (PFS6) was not met in post-VEGFi recurrent GBM patients. Nevertheless, PFS6 (10%) and OS (5 mos.) compared favorably to contemporary series of Bev-refractory, recurrent GBM pts who are subsequently treated with a non-Bev containing regimen. Supported by NCI CA-25224. Clinical trial information: NCT00329719.
