Meningiomas Clinical Trial in Anchorage, AK

About This Meningiomas Study in Anchorage

This phase II trial studies how well vismodegib, focal adhesion kinase (FAK) inhibitor GSK2256098, and capivasertib work in treating patients with meningioma that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive). Vismodegib, FAK inhibitor GSK2256098, capivasertib, and abemaciclib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Progressive OR residual disease, as defined by the following:

Residual measurable disease: residual measurable disease immediately after surgery without requirement for progression; for grade I disease, progression pre-operatively needs to be documented, with an increase in size of the measurable primary lesion on imaging by 25% or more (bidirectional area); the change must occur between scans separated by no more than 25 months; for patients with SMO/PTCH1 mutations enrolling to receive vismodegib, the change can occur between scans separated by up to 25 months; residual measurable disease will be defined by bidimensionally measurable lesions with clearly defined margins by MRI scans, with a minimum diameter of 10 mm in both dimensions

Post radiation patients: patients with measurable and progressive meningioma who have received radiation are potentially eligible, but need to show evidence of progressive disease after completion of radiation; if the progressive meningioma lesion has been radiated, at least 24 weeks must have elapsed from completion of radiation to registration; if the progressive lesion is outside of the radiation field, then an interval of at least 2 weeks must have elapsed from completion of radiation to registration
