The Toca 5 Trial: Toca 511 & Toca FC Versus Standard of Care in Patients With Recurrent High Grade Glioma

Study Purpose

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label phase 2/3 study of Toca 511 and Toca FC versus standard of care that comprises Investigator's choice of single agent chemotherapy (lomustine or temozolomide) or bevacizumab administered to subjects undergoing resection for first or second recurrence (including this recurrence) of GBM or AA. Subjects meeting all of the inclusion and none of the exclusion criteria will be randomized prior to surgery in a 1:1 ratio to receive either Toca 511 and Toca FC (Experimental arm, Arm T) or control treatment with one option of standard of care (Arm SOC). Stratification will be done by IDH1 mutation status. A second stratification factor is based on the patient's Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) (70-80 vs.#46;90-100). Further, to account for potential differences in treatment choices for the control arm in regions, the trial will be stratified by geographical region during the randomization process.

  • - > 5 cm in any dimension.
6. The subject has or had any active infection requiring systemic antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral therapy within the past 4 weeks. 7.

The subject is human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive. 9. The subject has a history of allergy or intolerance to flucytosine. 10. The subject has a gastrointestinal disease that would prevent him or her from being able to swallow or absorb flucytosine. 11. The subject received cytotoxic chemotherapy within the past 4 weeks (6 weeks for nitrosoureas) of the planned surgery date. 12. The subject received any investigational treatment within the past 30 days or prior immunotherapy or antibody therapy within the past 45 days. 13. The subject is pregnant or breast feeding. 14.

Drug: - Toca FC

Toca FC is an extended-release formulation of flucytosine and is supplied as 500 mg tablets

Drug: - Lomustine

Drug: - Temozolomide
