Avelumab With Laser Interstitial Therapy for Recurrent Glioblastoma

Study Purpose

The purpose of the study is to characterize the safety and tolerability of avelumab in combination with Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) for blood barrier disruption in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

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.

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.

NCT03341806
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

This is an open label, non-randomized Phase I study of intravenous avelumab every 2 weeks to be administered after real-time MRI-guided LITT therapy for patients with a first recurrence of a glioblastoma. The primary objective of the study is to characterize the tolerability and safety profile of avelumab in combination with MRI guided LITT administered to patients diagnosed with recurrent GBM. Part A, the initial cohort of patients will be treated with intravenous avelumab alone. Part B, patients will receive avelumab in combination with MRI-guided LITT to characterize the tolerability and safety of the combined treatment.
