Autologous CAR-T Cells Targeting B7-H3 in Recurrent or Refractory GBM CAR.B7-H3Tc

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to test the safety of using T lymphocyte chimeric antigen receptor cells against the B7-H3 antigen (CAR.B7-H3T cells) in patients with glioblastoma. CAR.B7-H3T cells treatment has not been tested in humans and is not an approved treatment by the Food and Drug Administration for 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.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

INCLUSION CRITERIA. 1. Karnofsky score of > 60% 2. Diagnosis of recurrent supratentorial- or infra-tentorial glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) (World Health Organization 2016 or 2021), based on Response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria (RANO) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) criteria. Disseminated GBM down the spinal cord is not allowed. Must have previously undergone resection or biopsy at initial diagnosis. 3. Must have undergone at least 4005 cGy of radiation with concurrent temozolomide. 4. No current or previous exposure to antiangiogenic agents, such as bevacizumab. 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to abstain from heterosexual activity or to use 2 forms of effective methods of contraception from the time of informed consent until 6 months after study treatment discontinuation. 6. Male subjects with female partners must have had a prior vasectomy or agree to use an adequate method of contraception starting with the first dose of study therapy through 3 months after the cell infusion therapy. If a male subject receives multiple infusions, they must remain on contraception throughout the duration and 3 months after the last cell infusion therapy. 7. The subject is willing and able to comply with study procedures based on the judgment of the investigator. EXCLUSION CRITERIA. 1. Subject is pregnant or lactating (Note: Breast milk cannot be stored for future use while the mother is being treated on study). 2. Subjects with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment has the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. 3. Active infection with HIV, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus (HCV). Note: To meet eligibility subjects are required to be negative for HIV antibody, negative for HTLV1 and 2 antibodies, negative for Hepatitis B surface antigen, and negative for HCV antibody and viral load. 4. Contraindication to MRI contrast agents or an inability to undergo MRI scans due to MRI non-compatible implanted materials. 5. Prior exposure to chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy for treatment of glioblastoma. 6. Evidence of disseminated disease involving the brainstem, cerebellum or spinal cord. 7. Previously implanted carmustine wafers or brachytherapy for the treatment of glioma.

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.

NCT05366179
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 a phase 1, single center, open-label study aims to determine the safety of escalating doses of chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T) cells targeting the B7-H3 antigen administered via intraventricular infusion to adult subjects with relapsed or refractory glioblastoma (GBM). Subjects with GBM who meet procurement eligibility criteria will have cells collected following their initial surgical resection to manufacture CAR.B7-H3T cells, preferably prior to initiation of adjuvant chemoradiation. At the time that the subjects have confirmed refractory or recurrent GBM, CAR.B7-H3T cells will be manufactured for subjects who likely to be eligible for cell infusion. Eligible subjects will receive up to 3 weekly infusions of CAR.B7-H3 cells. To receive the additional cycles of CAR.B7-H3 cells, all treatment-related toxicities must have resolved to grade < 3, the subject must not have experienced a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and the subject must not have progressive disease that has been confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging per Immunotherapy response assessment in neuro-oncology criteria. The data from the dose escalation will be used to determine a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), which will be decided on based on the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and additional factors such as the feasibility of administering infusions.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Single Arm

CAR.B7-H3 T cells: Subjects with refractory or recurrent glioblastoma multiforme, have cells collected following their initial surgical resection to manufacture CAR.B7-H3 T cells, preferably before initiation of adjuvant chemoradiation.

Interventions

Drug: - CAR.B7-H3T cells infusion

The Chimeric Antigen Receptors (CAR).B7-H3T cells will be administered via intraventricular infusion up to 3 weekly infusions. A 0.5 mL suspension of T cells infusion is given, over 5-10 minutes, via a Rickham catheter and will be followed by a normal-saline flush of 3-5 mL over 5-10 minutes. Dose escalation will be performed considering the dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) listed in the protocol. Six doses will be explored. The starting dose will be 2 × 10^6 transduced cells/infusion (Dose Level (DL) 1) and will enroll at least 3 subjects. If there are no dose DLTs within 4 weeks of the third cellular product administration in the first 3 subjects, then the next cohort will evaluate 5 × 10^6 transduced cells/infusion (DL2).
