Brief Summary:
This study will examine the safety of a twice-a-day dosing regimen of the experimental drug Enzastaurin in patients with malignant glioma a cancerous brain tumor who are and who are not taking certain anti-seizure medicines Enzastaurin may prevent the formation of new blood vessels that tumors need to grow It has shown some effect against brain tumors in animals and in some patients with recurrent gliomas This study will see if the drug can help patients with gliomas and how much drug they should be given
Patients 18 years of age and older with malignant glioma that has recurred after standard therapy may be eligible for this study Candidates are screened with a physical examination blood and urine tests magnetic resonance imaging MRI or computed tomography CT scans and an electrocardiogram
Participants are divided into two groups of patients-those who are and those who are not taking certain anti-seizure medications-in order to determine if the anti-seizure medication alters the way the body handles Enzastaurin Patients in both groups are further divided into different dosing regimens some in each group take Enzastaurin once a day for 3 weeks followed by twice a day for 3 weeks others in the group take the drug twice a day for 3 weeks followed by once a day for 3 weeks The medication is taken by mouth every day Treatment is given in 6-week cycles and may continue for 1 year unless the tumor grows or the patient develops unacceptable drug side effects In addition to drug treatment patients have the following tests and procedures
Medical history physical and neurological examinations every 3 weeks during the first cycle and then every 6 weeks
MRI or CT scan of the head before starting each new cycle MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images of body tissues and organs CT uses x-rays to provide 3-dimensional views of the part of the body being studied For both procedures the patient lies on a table that slides into the cylindrical scanner
Routine blood tests every week during the first cycle and every 3 weeks after that
Electrocardiogram on days 21 and 42 of the first cycle just before taking the drug and 30 minutes and 4 hours after taking the drug
Pharmacokinetic studies within 3 days of day 21 of the first cycle Several blood samples are drawn to measure levels of Enzastaurin Patients taking the drug once a day have blood samples drawn before the morning dose and 1 2 4 6 and 24 hours after the dose Patients taking the drug twice a day have samples drawn before the morning dose at 1 2 4 6 and 12 hours after the dose and then 12 hours after the evening dose In addition on day 1 an extra tube of blood is drawn at the time of the Enzastaurin dose and 4 hours later
Dynamic MRI with spectroscopy or PET These tests are done to help distinguish live tumor from dying tumor The experience of dynamic MRI with spectroscopy is the same as standard MRI and is done at the same time as the standard procedure PET uses a radioactive substance to show cellular activity in specific tissues of the body The patient is given an injection of a sugar solution in which a radioactive isotope has been attached to the sugar molecule A special camera detects the radiation emitted by the radioisotope and the resulting images show how much glucose is being used in various parts of the body Because rapidly growing cells such as tumors take up and use more glucose than normal cells do this test can be used to show active tumors

Detailed Description:
BACKGROUND
Enzastaurin is a macrocyclic bisindolylmaleimide which disrupts the intrinsic phosphotransferase activity of conventional and novel PKC isoforms via an interaction at the ATP binding site displays selectivity in inhibiting the isoforms
Preclinical studies demonstrate potent anti-angiogenic activity of enzastaurin and studies in normal volunteers and solid tumor patients demonstrate the drug is very well tolerated at doses that achieve a biologically active serum concentration
OBJECTIVES
To establish the maximally tolerated dose of enzastaurin in patients with refractory primary brain tumors not on any enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs EIAED and for patients on EIAEDs
To determine if twice a day dosing results in higher systemic exposure of enzastaurin and its metabolites than once a day dosing in patients not on EIAEDs and those on EIAEDs
To obtain exploratory data regarding the relationship between the activity of the PKC-b pathway specifically GSK3-b activation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of treated patients and clinical outcome
To obtain exploratory information about the anti-tumor activity of enzastaurin at the higher doses specified in this protocol
ELIGIBILITY
Patients with histologically proven malignant glioma will be eligible for this protocol
DESIGN
Patients will be stratified into Group A or Group B based on their concomitant medications Patients who are on enzyme inducing anti-epileptic drugs such as phenytoin carbamazepine or trileptal will be enrolled into Group B while patients who meet the eligibility criteria and are not on any enzyme inducers will be entered into Group A
As of December 2005 three DLTs were observed at dose level 1 and it was determined that this was not a tolerable dose A third dose level has been added using a lower dose for Group A patients only Twelve patients will be entered at the third dose level in Group A only
