About this trial

The CARMIGO Trial is a single-centre, non-randomised, open label Phase I clinical trial of an Advanced Therapy Investigational Medicinal Product (ATIMP) in children and young adults aged 2-16 years with Diffuse Midline Glioma (DMG).

The study will evaluate the feasibility of generating the ATIMP, the safety and tolerability of the GD2CAR T-cell therapy and how effectively GD2CAR T-cells engraft, expand and persist following administration in patients with DMG.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 2 and ≤ 16 years

Tissue diagnosis of H3K27M mutant Diffuse Midline Glioma.

Disqualifiers

Systemic corticosteroid therapy ≥ 0.05 mg/kg dexamethasone daily (or equivalent) at time of RQR8/huK28Z CAR T cell infusion

Tumour involvement of the thalamus or supratentorial lesions, cerebellar vermis or hemispheres (pontocerebellar peduncle involvement is allowed)

Clinical or radiological evidence of true tumour progression

Active hepatitis B, C or HIV infection

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Toxicity evaluated by the incidence of grade 3-5 toxicity causally related to the ATIMP

Toxicity of GD2 CAR T cells as assessed by the incidence of grade 3-5 toxicity causally related to the ATIMP (particularly severe cytokine release syndrome and severe neurotoxicity).

Time frame
28 days
2

Feasibility of manufacturing GD2 CAR T-cells evaluated by the number of therapeutic products generated

Feasibility of generation of the ATIMP as evaluated by the number of therapeutic products generated and the number of ATIMPs infused (as an intravenous agent (Theme 1) and as an intraventricular agent (Theme 2) after successful manufacture.

Time frame
28 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

The proportion of patients alive at 1 year will be tabulated. If numbers are sufficient, overall survival will also be analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses. Survival times will be measured from the date of GD2 CAR T infusion until the date of death from any cause.

Time frame
1 year
2

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

The proportion of patients alive and progression-free at 1 year will be tabulated. Progression-free survival will be analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses with the median survival time reported. Survival times will be measured from the date of the GD2 CAR T infusion until the date of progression or death.

Time frame
1 year
3

Time to Progression (TTP)

TTP will be summarised as a median and range. If numbers are sufficient, this will also be analysed using Kaplan-Meier survival analyses with the duration calculated as the time from first response (≥PR) until progression

Time frame
1 year
4

Best objective response rate (ORR)

This will be taken as the best response as defined by RAPNO criteria observed at any time point following CAR T infusion. The number and proportion of patients achieving a response ≥PR will be presented for all patients as well as by dose level.

Time frame
1 year
