Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Overall Survival (OS) Time
Time from randomization to death or last day known to be alive, reported between day of first participant randomized, that is, Sep 2008 until cut-off date, (19 Nov 2012)

The OS time is defined as the time (in months) from randomization to death or last day known to be alive. Participants without event are censored at the last date known to be alive or at the clinical cut-off date, whatever is earlier.

Safety run-in Part: Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Up to Week 3
Randomized Part: Progression Free Survival (PFS) Time - Independent Read
Time from randomization until disease progression, death or last tumor assessment, reported between day of first participant randomized, that is, Feb 2009 until cut-off date, (26 Jun 2013)

The PFS time is defined as the duration from randomization to either first observation of progressive disease (PD) or occurrence of death due to any cause. Independent Read is the assessment of all imaging centrally by an Independent Review Committee (IRC).

Peak Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of cilengitide in plasma
48 hours after start of infusion of 1 single dose of cilengitide administered as 1-hour intravenous infusion

Cmax of cilengitide in plasma after single dose in groups of subjects with different grades of renal function compared to subjects with normal renal function.

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve (AUC) of cilengitide in plasma
48 hours after start of infusion of 1 single dose of cilengitide administered as 1-hour intravenous infusion

AUC of cilengitide in plasma after single dose in groups of subjects with different grades of renal function compared to subjects with normal renal function.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
CilengitideDRUGCilengitide 2000 milligram (mg) will be administered intravenously twice weekly over 1 hour infusion from Weeks -1 to 77 or until occurrence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal for any other reason. If considered beneficial in the opinion of the Investigator, continuation of cilengitide treatment will be optional in subjects without disease progression and after Week 77 since start of treatment.
TemozolomideDRUGTemozolomide (TMZ) 75 milligram per square meter \[mg/m\^2\] will be administered intravenously once daily from Weeks 1 to 6. From Week 11 onwards, TMZ will be given as maintenance treatment at a dose of 150-200 mg/m\^2 for consecutive 5 days every 4 weeks until Week 34 or until disease progression.
RadiotherapyRADIATIONRadiotherapy (RTX) at a dose of 2 gray (Gy) per fraction will be given once daily, 5 days per week from Weeks 1 to 6, total dose 60 Gy.
Cilengitide (2-times weekly)DRUGCilengitide 2000 milligram (mg) will be administered intravenously twice weekly over 1 hour infusion from Weeks -1 to 77 or until occurrence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal for any other reason. If considered beneficial in the opinion of the Investigator, continuation of cilengitide treatment will be optional in subjects without disease progression and after Week 77 since start of treatment.
cilengitide (5-times weekly)DRUGCilengitide 2000 milligram (mg) will be administered intravenously 5-times weekly over 1 hour infusion from Weeks -1 to 77 or until occurrence of progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal for any other reason. If considered beneficial in the opinion of the Investigator, continuation of cilengitide treatment will be optional in subjects without disease progression and after Week 77 since start of treatment.
CetuximabDRUGCetuximab will be administered at a dose of 400 milligram per square meter (mg/m\^2) as intravenous infusion over 2 hours on Day 1.
CisplatinDRUGCisplatin (Cis) will be administered at a dose of 75 mg/m\^2 as intravenous infusion on Day 1.

Frequently asked questions about cilengitide

What is cilengitide?

Cilengitide is an investigational small molecule oncology drug developed by Merck KGaA. It has been studied in non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, and renal impairment. It is not approved and remains in clinical development, with completed Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 trials in these indications.

What does cilengitide target?

Cilengitide targets the integrins ITGB3, ITGAV, and ITGB5, where it acts as an antagonist. By blocking these integrin receptors, it interferes with integrin-mediated signaling in tumor cells and their surrounding environment. This integrin antagonist mechanism underlies its investigation as an anticancer agent in glioblastoma and non-small cell lung cancer.

Who makes cilengitide?

Cilengitide is developed by Merck KGaA, which trades under the ticker MKGAF. Merck KGaA sponsored the clinical trials evaluating cilengitide in glioblastoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and renal impairment.

What phase is cilengitide in?

Cilengitide is in Phase 2 development overall, though a Phase 3 trial in glioblastoma has also been completed. It is investigational and not approved. The Phase 3 study NCT00689221 evaluated cilengitide with temozolomide and radiation in newly diagnosed glioblastoma patients with methylated gene promoter status.

What clinical trials is cilengitide in?

Cilengitide has been studied in completed trials including NCT01504165, a Phase 1 pharmacokinetic study in renal impairment; NCT00842712, a Phase 2 trial with cetuximab and platinum chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer; and NCT00813943 and NCT00689221, Phase 2 and Phase 3 glioblastoma trials combining cilengitide with temozolomide and radiation therapy.
