GBM AGILE: A global, phase 2/3 adaptive platform trial to evaluate multiple regimens in newly diagnosed and recurrent glioblastoma.

TPS2078 Background: GBM AGILE (Glioblastoma Adaptive, Global, Innovative Learning Environment) is a biomarker based, multi-arm, international, seamless Phase 2/3 Response Adaptive Randomization platform trial designed to rapidly identify experimental therapies that improve overall survival and confirm efficacious experimental therapies and associated biomarker signatures to support new drug approvals and registration. GBM AGILE is a collaboration between academic investigators, patient organizations and industry to support new drug applications for newly diagnosed and recurrent GBM. With its adaptable structure, GBM AGILE has continued trial activation, inclusion of new investigational therapies, and enrollment globally through the challenges of a global pandemic. Methods: The primary objective of GBM AGILE is to identify therapies that effectively improve the overall survival in patients with ND or recurrent GBM. Bayesian response adaptive randomization is used within subtypes of the disease to assign participants to investigational arms based on their performance. Operating under a Master Protocol, GBM AGILE allows multiple drugs from different pharmaceutical/biotech companies to be evaluated simultaneously and/or over time against a common control. New experimental therapies are added as new information about promising new drugs is identified while other therapies are removed as they complete their evaluation. The master protocol/ trial infrastructure includes efficiencies through an adaptive trial design, shared control arm and operational processes such as risk-based monitoring and enhanced remote activities. GBM AGILE has screened over 1000 patients and enrollment rates are 3 to 4 times greater than traditional GBM trials, with active sites averaging 0.75 to 1 patients/sites/month. While enrollment had an initial dip during the early stages of the pandemic (April-May, 2020), with flexible processes including remote based monitoring, minimizing in person visits, and remote provision of IMP, the enrollment rebounded by June, 2020. Through the use of improved and efficient processes allowed within a master protocol/adaptive platform trial infrastructure, GBM AGILE has been seamlessly operating a global trial during a global pandemic. Clinical trial information: NCT03970447.
