About this trial

The goal of this research study is to determine the best dose of CARv3-TEAM-E T Cells for treating participants with glioblastoma.

The name of the treatment intervention used in this research study is:

-CARv3-TEAM-E T Cells (or Autologous T lymphocytes).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Safety Run In Arm and ARM 1: Recurrent GBM, EGFRvIII mutant

Participants must have histologically confirmed recurrent GBM or molecular features of GBM with presence of EGFRvIII mutation detected at initial diagnosis. MGMT methylated, unmethylated, or unknown is allowed.

Participants must be at first progression or recurrence and plan is for biopsy or surgical debulking. Participants must have at least received prior radiation. Prior temozolomide is not required if the participant is MGMT unmethylated.

ARM 2: Newly Diagnosed GBM, EGFRvIII mutant (will only open once safety is confirmed in Arms 1 and 3)

Disqualifiers

Intraparenchymal posterior fossa disease

Intramedullary spinal disease as the only site of disease.

Prior EGFRvIII targeted therapies.

Prior bevacizumab treatment.

Trial design

Design model

Parallel

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CARv3-TEAM-E T cells

    Drug

    Autologous T lymphocyte population that contains cells transduced ex-vivo with a CARv3-TEAM-E lentiviral vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). Administered via Ommaya reservoir.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)

Defined as the incidence of ≥ Grade 3-4 adverse events related to CARv3-TEAM-E.

Time frame
From Day 0 to 2 years post-treatment
2

Number of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)

Defined as any related toxicity experienced by run-in cohort of CTCAE v5 grade ≥ 4 Adverse Event

Time frame
up to 6 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Proportion of Participants with One Infusion

The study will be deemed feasible if the proportion of participants enrolled that go on to receive at least one infusion of CARv3-TEAM-E cells is 60% or greater. Applies to participants in run-in cohort and Arms 1 and 3.

Time frame
up to 6 months
2

Overall Response Rate

Defined as the best response recorded from the start of treatment until disease progression/recurrence and evaluated using the Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology Criteria (RANO).

Time frame
Day 0 to 2 years post-treatment
3

Overall Survival Rate

Defined as the time from registration to death due to any cause.

Time frame
From Day 0 to 2 years post-treatment
4

Progression Free Survival (PFS)

Defined as the time from registration to the earlier of progression or death due to any cause.

Time frame
Registration to 2 years post-treatment
