Magrolimab for Brain Cancer (PNOC025 Trial)

Phase 1
Waitlist Available
Led By Sabine Mueller, MD, PhD
Research Sponsored by University of California, San Francisco
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Participants must have measureable disease. Measurable disease will be defined as lesions that can be accurately measured in two dimensions (longest diameters to be recorded) with a minimum size of no less than double the slice thickness. Previously irradiated lesions are considered non-measurable except in cases of documented progression of the lesion since the completion of radiation therapy.
Creatinine clearance or radioisotope Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >= 60 millilitre (mL) per minute (mL/min) 1.73 m2 or
Must not have
Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active systemic infection.
History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to magrolimab, Ferumoxytol, or iron contained drugs or supplements.
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up up to 12 months

Summary

This trial will test the safety of magrolimab, a drug that targets the protein CD47, in children and adults with recurrent or progressive brain tumors. Pre-clinical studies have shown that the drug can prolong survival in various types of brain tumors.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and adults with recurrent or progressive malignant brain tumors, including certain high-grade tumors. Participants must have failed at least one prior therapy and should not have received recent chemotherapy or radiotherapy. They need to be stable on corticosteroids if used, have sufficient organ function, and a performance score indicating they can perform daily activities.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Magrolimab, an anticancer drug that targets the CD47-SIRP-alpha axis to enhance tumor cell destruction by the immune system. It's designed for those with specific malignant brain tumors who've seen their disease return or worsen despite treatment.
What are the potential side effects?
While Magrolimab has shown a good safety profile in previous studies, potential side effects may include allergic reactions similar to other drugs in its class, issues related to blood cells like anemia (low red blood cell count), or complications from activating the immune system against cancer cells.
