Study Description

Brief Summary: High dose intravenous Methotrexate (HD-MTX) is the key drug in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). HD-MTX is usually delivered with time interval ranging from 10 to 21 days. Reduction of injection time interval is limited by MTX renal excretion and systemic toxicity. Glucarpidase (CPG2) is a recombinant bacterial rescue enzyme that cleaves circulating MTX into inactive metabolites, reducing plasma MTX concentrations within few minutes. The research hypothesis is that CPG2 used after HD-MTX injection allows to reduce time interval between MTX injections, increase dose intensity of the chemotherapy, reduce systemic toxicity and duration of hospitalization.

Detailed Description: Open-label multicenter Phase I dose finding trial based on 3+3 escalation design. The phase I will follow a standard "3+3" dose level escalation design with reduced time interval of HD-MTX injections at fixed dose of HD-MTX to establish the minimum tolerated time interval. HD-MTX (methotrexate) is administered intravenously at the dose 3.5 g/m² (body surface area capped at 2 m2) over 2 to 3 hours, followed at H24 by glucarpidase with a 3 different MTX administration intervals: 8 days, 6 days, and 5 days. Treatments will be continued for a maximum of 6 injections until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or investigator's/patient's decision. Three dose levels could be explored under toxicity restrictions, where the dose combination for each cohort of three subjects will be determined by 3+3 escalation rule. Three schedule dose levels will be : every 8 days, every 6 days and every 5 days. The starting schedule dose of HD-MTX will be one administration of HD-MTX every 8 days for 6 injections. Dose of MTX will be fixed and will not be modified. No skipping of the dose level will be allowed. No intra-patient dose escalation is allowed. The DLT evaluation period begins with the first dose of methotrexate and ends at the beginning of the 25th day after the first MTX infusion.
