NCT02798406

Brief Summary

Glioblastoma (GBM) and gliosarcoma (GS) are the most common and aggressive forms of malignant brain tumor in adults and can be resistant to conventional therapies. The purpose of this Phase II study is to evaluate how well a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor responds to one injection of DNX-2401, a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus, when delivered directly into the tumor followed by the administration of intravenous pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) given every 3 weeks for up to 2 years or until disease progression.

  • Overall survival (OS)

    3.5 years

  • Time to tumor response

    3.5 years

  • Duration of response

    3.5 years

Study Arms (1)

DNX-2401 + pembrolizumab

EXPERIMENTAL

Intratumoral dose (1.0 mL) of DNX-2401 followed 7-9 days later by intravenous pembrolizumab, 200 mg, given every three weeks through 105 weeks (2 yrs.) or until progressive disease or unacceptable toxicity.

Biological: DNX-2401Biological: pembrolizumab

Interventions

DNX-2401BIOLOGICAL

On Day 0, following brain tumor biopsy and confirmation of recurrent tumor, a single injection of DNX-2401 is administered directly into the brain tumor.

Also known as: Oncolytic virus, Genetically-modified adenovirus, Delta-24, Delta-24-RGD
DNX-2401 + pembrolizumab
pembrolizumabBIOLOGICAL

Sequential intravenous administration every three weeks beginning 7-9 days after Day 0/DNX-2401

Also known as: KEYTRUDA, lambrolizumab, MK-3475, SCH 900475, Checkpoint inhibitor, monoclonal antibody, anti-PD1/PD-L1
DNX-2401 + pembrolizumab

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • A single glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor with histopathological confirmation for first or presenting second recurrence of glioblastoma or gliosarcoma at the time of consent
  • Gross total or partial tumor resection is not possible or not planned
  • A single measurable tumor that is at least 10.0 mm longest diameter (LDi) X 10.0 mm shortest diameter (SDi) and this tumor does not exceed 40.0 mm in LDi or SDi on Screening MRI
  • Tumor recurrence or progression documented after previously failing surgical resection, chemotherapy or radiation
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70 %
  • Prior anti-tumor therapies must have been completed within time periods specified in the protocol prior to DNX-2401 injection and toxic side effects must be mild, if present
  • Demonstrate adequate organ function via specified laboratory test results

You may not qualify if:

  • Multiple (≥ 2) separate enhancing tumors
  • Tumor location on both sides of the brain and/or involvement that would present the risk of injecting DNX-2401 into the ventricles of the brain
  • Tumor location in the brain stem
  • Requires or, based upon history, may require treatment with high-dose systemic corticosteroids within 2 weeks of the start of intravenous pembrolizumab infusions and within 2 weeks following the first infusion of pembrolizumab
  • Uncontrolled blood-sugar levels defined as HbA1c \> 7%
  • Previous treatment with any checkpoint inhibitor such as anti-PD1 or PD-L1 agents including pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA) or any other checkpoint inhibitor(s) (e.g., ipilimumab, nivolumab, etc.)
  • History of (non-infectious) or current active pneumonitis that required steroids and/or a history of interstitial lung disease
  • Prior gene transfer therapy or prior therapy with a cytolytic virus of any type
  • Brain tumor that is not measurable on MRI or persons who are unable to have MRIs
  • Pregnant or nursing females
