Phase I Study of Ibrutinib With Radiation and Temozolomide in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma

Safety of combination of ibrutinib and radiation at various dose levels in unmethylated
o6-methylguanine-DNA-methyltransferase (MGMT) glioblastoma and study of ibrutinib,
temozolomide, and radiation combination therapy in methylated MGMT glioblastoma.

There are a number of brain tumor studies including those in NCI consortium that are not
including temozolomide for increased toxicity with novel agents or other drugs when added to
temozolomide and radiation. However,if the combination of ibrutinib and radiation in
unmethylated MGMT glioblastoma patient population is safe at every dose level we can study
the safety of ibrutinib, radiation and Temozolomide in the methylated patient population.
Concomitant use of radiation will lead to break down of the blood brain barrier and increase
ibrutinib delivery to the brain tumor and hence the rationale to combine ibrutinib with
radiation with or without temozolomide.

Inclusion Criteria:

Arm 1:

- Supratentorial unmethylated MGMT glioblastoma

- Gadolinium MRI or contrast CT within 28 days of starting treatment

- Karnofsky performance ≥ 70%
(http://www.npcrc.org/files/news/karnofsky_performance_scale.pdf)

- Absolute neutrophil count > 1500/mm3, platelets > 100,000/mm3, Creatinine ≤ 1.7 mg/dl,
total bilirubin ≤ 1.5mg/dl, transaminases ≤ 3 times above the upper limits of normal

- Must be able to provide written informed consent

- Patients of reproductive potential must use an acceptable form of birth control to
avoid contraception during the period of therapy and up to 90 days after the last dose
of study drug. (eg. implants, injectable, oral contraceptives, intrauterine device
(IUD), abstinence, and a barrier method which includes, but is not limited to condoms,
vaginal rings, and sponges)

- Female patients must have a negative pregnancy test upon study entry.

- No concurrent malignancy with the exception of curatively treated early stage bladder
and prostate cancer, basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ
of the cervix and breast, adequately treated stage I or II cancer from which the
patient is in complete remission. Any other prior malignancies must be disease free
for ≥ 3 years.

- Prothrombin time (PT) / international normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 x upper limit of
normal (ULN) and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (aPTT) < 1.5 x ULN

- Patient with any surgery more than stereotactic biopsy are eligible so that there is
enough tissue for MGMT analysis.

Arm 2:

- Arm 1 inclusion criteria must be met with the exception of the histology of the
cancer, which must be methylated MGMT glioblastoma

Exclusion Criteria:

- Serious concurrent infection or illness

- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding

- Patients receiving concurrent therapy for their tumor

- Concurrent or prior malignancy unless curatively treated carcinoma-in-situ or basal
cell carcinoma of the skin.

- Repeat craniotomy for tumor therapy after receiving radiation and TMZ treatment.

- Patients who received other chemotherapy or investigational agents in addition to
radiation therapy and accompanying TMZ treatment.

- Previous ibrutinib or other Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor use or allergies
to components of the study drug.

- Use of anticoagulants (including warfarin, other coumadin-derivative anticoagulant,
vitamin K antagonists, or low molecular weight heparin)

- Use of drugs known to be moderate and strong inhibitor or inducers of the P450
isoenzyme CYP3A. Participants must be off P450/CYP3A inhibitors and inducers for at
least a week prior to starting the study drug.

- Active, significant liver impairment (Child-Pugh class B or C)

- Patient is using systemic immunosuppressant therapy, including cyclosporineA,
tacrolimus, sirolimus, and other such medications, or chronic administration of > 5
mg/day or prednisone or the equivalent.Participants must be off of immunosuppressant
therapy for at least 21days prior to the first dose of the study drug. Patients can be
on steroids for brain edema.

- Significant EKG abnormalities and active and significant cardiovascular disease within
6 months of screening.

- Pregnant or breastfeeding women. Male patients that intend to father a child while
enrolled or 90 days after the last dose of the study drug.

- Unwillingness to comply with the protocol

- Uncontrolled, active systemic infection.

- Major surgery within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.

- Vaccinated with live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.

- Recent infection requiring systemic treatment that was completed ≤ 14 days before the
first dose of study drug.

- Known bleeding disorders
