Assessment of a Large US EHR Database as Meeting FDA Fit-for-Purpose Requirements to Provide External Controls for Study BPM31510 in Participants With Glioblastoma

Glioblastoma is a rare, aggressive brain tumor that leads to death within 2 years of diagnosis in more than half of patients. There are currently 123 studies ongoing that are testing treatments for glioblastoma. BPGbio has developed BPM31510 and is executing an ongoing single-arm Phase 2 study (NCT04752813) targeting 50 participants. Because glioblastoma is a rare and often fatal disease with multiple drugs in development, a randomized placebo-controlled trial is unlikely to be feasible. Therefore, BPGbio is exploring the possible use of untreated patients from the Truveta database to create a control group. The purpose of this study is to explore whether the Truveta database in this indication meets FDA criteria as fit-for-purpose for regulatory use.
