A Study of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 With Veledimex in Subjects With Glioblastoma or Malignant Glioma

Study Purpose

This research study involves an investigational product: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with veledimex for production of human IL-12. IL-12 is a protein that can improve the body's natural response to disease by enhancing the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor. The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single tumor injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with oral veledimex.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 and ≤ 75 years of age. 2. Provision of written informed consent for tumor resection, stereotactic surgery, tumor biopsy, samples collection and treatment with investigational products prior to undergoing any study procedures. 3. Histologically confirmed supratentorial glioblastoma or other WHO grade III or IV malignant glioma from archival tissue. 4. Evidence of tumor recurrence/progression by MRI (RANO criteria) post standard initial therapy. 5. Previous standard of care anti-tumor treatment including surgery and/or biopsy and chemoradiation. The washout periods from prior therapies are intended as follows: 1. Nitrosoureas: 6 weeks. 2. Other cytotoxic agents: 4 weeks. 3. Anti-angiogenic agents including bevacizumab: 4 weeks. 4. Targeted agents including small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors: 2 weeks. 5. Experimental immunotherapies: 3 months. 6. Vaccine based therapy: 3 months. 6. Able to undergo standard MRI scans with contrast agent. 7. Karnofsky Performance Status ≥ 70. 8. Adequate bone marrow reserves and liver and kidney function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements: 1. Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/L. 2. Lymphocytes > 500/ mm3. 3. Absolute Neutrophil Count ≥ 1500/ mm3. 4. Platelets ≥ 100,000/ mm3. 5. Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN. 6. AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 x ULN. For subjects with documented liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤ 5 × ULN. 7. Total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN. 8. International Normalized Ratio (INR) and activated Partial Thromboplastin Time [PTT] within normal institutional limits. 9. Male and female subjects must agree to use a highly reliable method of birth control (expected failure rate less than 5% per year) from the screening visit through 28 days after the last dose of study drug. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Radiotherapy within 4 weeks or less prior to starting first veledimex dose. 2. Subjects with clinically significant increased intracranial pressure or uncontrolled seizures. 3. Known immunosuppressive disease, autoimmune conditions, and /or chronic viral infections. 4. Use of systemic antibacterials, antifungals or antivirals for the treatment of acute clinically significant infection within 2 weeks of first veledimex dose. Concomitant therapy for chronic infections is not allowed. Subjects must be afebrile prior to Ad-RTS-hIL-12 injection; only prophylactic antibiotic use is permitted perioperatively. 5. Use of enzyme-inducing anti-epileptic drugs (EIAED) within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug. 6. Other concurrent clinically active malignant disease, requiring treatment, with the exception of non-melanoma cancers of the skin or carcinoma in-situ of the cervix or non-metastatic prostate cancer. 7. Nursing or pregnant females. 8. Prior exposure to veledimex. 9. Use of medications that induce, inhibit or are substrates of CYP450 3A4 within 7 days prior to the first veledimex dosing. 10. Presence of any contra-indication for a neurosurgical procedure. 11. Unstable or clinically significant concurrent medical condition that would, in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor, jeopardize the safety of a subject and/or their compliance with the protocol.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02026271
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Eligible patients will be stratified to one of two groups, according to clinical indication for tumor resection. Patients who are scheduled for a standard of care craniotomy and tumor resection will receive one dose of veledimex before the resection procedure. Ad-RTS-hIL-12 will be administered by free-hand injection. Patients will continue on oral veledimex for 14 days. Patients not scheduled for tumor resection will receive Ad-RTS-hIL-12 by stereotactic injection and then will continue on oral veledimex for 14 days. The study is divided into three periods: the screening period, the treatment period and the follow-up period.
