Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Patients Exhibiting a Given Overall Response as Determined by Investigator
Through study completion, an average of 6.09 weeks.

Disease response and progression were determined by the investigator using the International Myeloma Working Group Uniform Response Criteria (IMWG-URC). Overall response rate includes patients with a best response of PR of better. Stringent complete response (CR) includes immunophenotypic CR and molecular CR in addition to stringent CR.

Determine MRZ maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for both concomitant treatment (MRZ + TMZ + RT) and adjuvant treatment (MRZ + TMZ)
42-day concomitant treatment and 28-day Cycle 1 adjuvant treatment

Assess dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) in each dose-escalation arm

To assess adverse events during the adjuvant treatment
From the first dose of study drug through 28 days after the last dose

To assess the safety of the combination of MRZ and TMZ with the addition of Optune™ in patients entering Adjuvant Treatment

Radiographic Objective Response Rate (ORR) - Part 2 Cohort
From first dose to end of study treatment (up to approx. 48 weeks)

Radiographic ORR is defined as the percentage of participants achieving a Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), as assessed by the investigator, according to RANO 2010 criteria. Tumor response assessment was conducted every 2 cycles of study therapy. 95% confidence interval from exact binomial distribution (Clopper-Pearson method).

Overall Survival (OS) - Part 3 Cohorts
From first dose to death, assessed up approx. 42 weeks

OS is defined as time from the date of the first dose of study drug to date of death due to any cause. Participants who are alive will be censored at the last follow up visit

Secondary Endpoints

Duration of MRZ Treatment
Through study completion, an average of 6.09 weeks.
Number of Cycles of Marizomib (MRZ)
Through study completion, an average of 6.09 weeks.
Number of Patients Receiving Marizomib (MRZ) in Each Cycle
Through study completion, an average of 6.09 weeks.

ArmTypeDescription
MRZ 0.5 mg/m^2EXPERIMENTALTwice-weekly dosing with 2-hour IV infusions on days 1,4,8, and 11 of 3-week cycles
Stage 1: Concomitant TreatmentEXPERIMENTALMRZ + TMZ + RT Patients who complete Concomitant Treatment may continue on to Adjuvant Treatment.
Stage 1: Adjuvant TreatmentEXPERIMENTALMRZ + TMZ
Stage 2: Dose-ExpansionEXPERIMENTALMRZ + TMZ + RT followed by MRZ + TMZ In Stage 2 (dose-expansion): a minimum of 12 and up to approximately 18 additional evaluable patients will be enrolled in a cohort in which Concomitant Treatment (MRZ + TMZ + RT) is followed by Adjuvant Treatment (MRZ + TMZ) to confirm the MTD for each treatment regimen as determined in the Dose-Escalation (Stage 1), and to assess preliminary activity of the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Optune ArmEXPERIMENTALMRZ + TMZ + Optune
Phase 1: MRZ + BEV; Phase 2: MRZ aloneEXPERIMENTALPart1-Phase1: MRZ 10 minute IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 plus BEV IV infusion on Days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Part2-Phase2: MRZ 10 minute IV infusion administered on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each 28-day cycle. Part3-Phase2: All subjects will receive IV MRZ infusion and IV BEV infusion. MRZ will be administered as a 10-minute, IV infusion on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle using intra-patient dose escalation. Starting dose will be 0.8 mg/m2. Part4- Phase1: All subjects will receive MRZ enterally by NG tube as a bolus on Days 1, 8 and 15 of the first 28-day cycle and BEV IV infusion on Day 15 of the first 28-day cycle. For subsequent 28-day treatment cycles, MRZ will be administered as an IV at the recommended dose and schedule determined in Part 1, with BEV IV on Days 1 and 15. Part5-Phase1: All subjects will receive IV MRZ infusion and IV BEV infusion. MRZ will be administered as a 10-minute, IV infusion at 0.8 mg/m2 on Days 1, 8, and 15 of every 28-day cycle 0.8 mg/m2

Frequently asked questions about MRZ

What is MRZ?

MRZ is an investigational small molecule oncology drug being developed by Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE: BMY). It is being studied in glioblastoma, malignant glioma, and multiple myeloma. MRZ is in Phase 1 clinical development and has been evaluated in completed clinical trials.

What is MRZ used for in glioblastoma?

MRZ has been studied in glioblastoma and malignant glioma. One completed Phase 1 trial, NCT02903069, evaluated MRZ with temozolomide and radiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed brain cancer. Another completed Phase 1 trial, NCT02330562, studied MRZ alone and in combination with bevacizumab in WHO Grade IV glioblastoma.
