About this trial

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and efficacy of administering a single intracerebral (within the brain) dose of investigational compounds called D2C7-immunotoxin (IT) and 2141-V11 in residual disease (within tumor margins) after surgery, followed by later repeated injections of 2141-V11 in the subcutaneous area (under the skin) around the lymph nodes of the head and neck for adults newly diagnosed with a type of cancerous brain tumor called glioblastoma. The word "investigational" means the study drugs are still being tested in research studies and are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years of age at the time of entry into the study

Newly diagnosed supratentorial GBM, WHO grade 4, IDH wildtype, MGMT unmethylated (high grade glioma with molecular features of GBM will be eligible under WHO 4 malignant glioma) with residual radiographic non-contrast enhancing disease on the post-2 cycles of adjuvant TMZ MRI amenable to catheter placement. The residual radiographic contrast enhancing disease is ≤ 3 cm in maximal diameter in any plane.

Patient must have completed standard of care radiation therapy (typically 59.4-60 Gy over approximately 6 weeks duration if under 65 years old and a minimum of 40 Gy over 3 weeks duration if 65 years or older) in combination with TMZ and 2 cycles of post-radiation, adjuvant TMZ. For patients known to be MGMT promoter unmethylated prior to start of radiation therapy, patients are not mandated to have received TMZ in combination to radiation therapy prior to participating in this trial.

Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) > 70%

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Median survival defined as the time between initiation of treatment with D2C7-IT in combination with 2141-V11 and death, or last follow up if alive.

Time frame
3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Safety as measured by the proportion of patients with unacceptable adverse events due to the combination of D2C7-IT and 2141-V11 administered via CED

Time frame
6 months
2

Safety as measured by the proportion of patients with unacceptable adverse events due to pre-radiation therapy administration of cervical perilymphatic injections of 2141-V11, or delayed completion of radiation therapy

Time frame
6 months
3

Safety as measured by 6-month progression-free survival (PFS6)

Time frame
6 months
4

Median PFS will be reported, which is defined as the median time between initiation of D2C7-IT and 2141-V11 infusion treatment and initial failure (disease progression or death).

Time frame
18 months
