Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.More than two prior systemic anticancer regimens for GBM at recurrence. 2.Prior EGFR targeted therapy for GBM e.g., cetuximab, panitumumab, EGFR TKIs at recurrence. 3.Known IDH mutant astrocytoma grade 4 without histologic features of GBM (central confirmation not required). 4.Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including active infection requiring systemic therapy significant pulmonary disease predisposing to infusion reactions; uncontrolled cardiac disease (NYHA class III/IV). 5.Known severe hypersensitivity to cetuximab, murine proteins, or components of the formulation history of severe infusion reaction to chimeric antibodies. 6.Pregnancy or breastfeeding. 7.Inability to undergo MRI with contrast or to comply with study procedures.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To estimate the 6 months progression free survival rate for patients treated with cetuximab and CCNUTimepoint: 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). 2. Estimate objective response rate (ORR) and duration of response (DoR) per RANO. Assess safety and tolerability per NCI CTCAE v5.0; characterize infusion reactions and electrolyte disturbances associated with cetuximab; characterize myelosuppression with CCNU. 3. Evaluate corticosteroid-sparing effect (change in daily dexamethasone equivalent). Assess health-related quality of life (EORTC QLQ C30 and QLQ BN20) and neurologic function (MMSE or MoCA).Timepoint: 6 months
