Feasibility of Individualized Therapy for Recurrent Glioblastoma

This is a single arm, non-randomized open-label study to assess feasibility of implementing an individualized treatment regimen in patients with surgical recurrent glioblastoma (GBM). Patients are not stratified according to demographic or treatment-related parameters. Patients must have recurrent glioblastoma treated with appropriate tumor treatment including radiation therapy at initial diagnosis. Surgery must be clinically indicated and patients must be candidates for tumor resection at UCSF. The goal of the current study is to build upon prior results by confirming the feasibility of actually implementing patient-specific drug regimens in a rapid, clinically-relevant timetable. The investigators will also assess for efficacy, safety, and response outcomes of these patient-specific regimens, to generate preliminary data that would support a larger trial assessing efficacy of such an approach. Resected tumor tissue and blood will be examined using Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) UCSF 500 Cancer Gene Panel at the UCSF Clinical Cancer Genomics Laboratory and Whole genome and RNA sequencing. The clinical report generated from the NGS UCSF 500 panel will be provided to a study-specific Tumor Board who will generate an individualized treatment recommendation based on the report. The individualized treatment regimen potentially will include up to 4 re-purposed, off-the-shelf, FDA-approved targeted agents. The Board will identify the expected/anticipated drug-drug interactions and anticipated additional toxicities of the combination of therapies. The treating physician is given the report, discusses the suggested treatment options with the patient, and initiates treatment, ideally within 28 calendar days (and no later than 35 calendar days) after surgery. Patients may continue treatment until tumor progression, intolerable side effects, or patient/physician choice to discontinue.
