About this trial

The purpose of this study is to explore the safety profile and establish a recommended dose (RD) for phase II of the antibody-cytokine fusion protein L19TNF plus standard TMZ chemoradiotherapy in patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

The study will be conducted in three consecutive parts: a dose finding part to determine the RD of L19TNF in combination with chemoradiotherapy, followed by a signal seeking part that investigates first signs of activity and then an activity evaluation part that studies the efficacy of L19TNF in combination with chemoradiotherapy against chemoradiotherapy alone.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female, age ≥18.

Patients with histologically confirmed newly diagnosed glioblastoma.

Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥ 70%

Documented negative test for HIV-HBV-HCV. For HBV serology, the determination of HBsAg and anti-HBcAg Ab is required. In patients with serology documenting previous exposure to HBV (i.e., anti-HBs Ab with no history of vaccination and/or anti-HBc Ab), negative serum HBV-DNA is required. For HCV, HCV-RNA or HCV antibody test is required. Subjects with a positive test for HCV antibody but no detection of HCV-RNA indicating no current infection are eligible.

Disqualifiers

Prior treatment for glioma, except surgery.

Inability to undergo contrast-enhanced MRI.

Intent to be treated with tumor-treating fields prior to progression.

Known history of allergy to TNF or TMZ, any excipient in the study medication or any other intravenously administered human proteins/peptides/antibodies.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • Onfekafusp alfa

    Drug

    This is an open label phase 1/2/2b study in subjects with newly diagnosed glioblastoma. The study will be conducted in three consecutive parts: First the dose finding part to determine the RD of L19TNF in combination with chemoradiotherapy, followed by a signal seeking part that investigates first signs of activity and then an activity evaluation part that studies the efficacy of L19TNF in combination with chemoradiotherapy against chemoradiotherapy alone.

  • Temozolomide

    Drug

    Patients will receive radiotherapy and TMZ. Treatment start with chemoradiotherapy is foreseen after surgical resection or biopsy of glioblastoma
