Brief Summary:
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether adding an experimental vaccine called rindopepimut (also known as CDX-110) to the commonly used drug bevacizumab can improve progression free survival (slowing the growth of tumors) of patients with relapsed EGFRvIII positive glioblastoma.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Glioblastoma Small Cell Glioblastoma Giant Cell Glioblastoma Gliosarcoma Glioblastoma With Oligodendroglial Component Recurrent Glioblastoma Relapsed Glioblastoma Drug: Bevacizumab Drug: Rindopepimut (CDX-110) with GM-CSF Drug: KLH Phase 2

Expanded Access : An investigational treatment associated with this study is no longer available outside the clinical trial.   More info ...

Detailed Description:
This Phase II study will enroll patients into three groups. Group 1 are patients who have never been treated with bevacizumab. These patients will be randomly assigned to receive either rindopepimut/GM-CSF or KLH, each along with bevacizumab. Treatment assignment for Group 1 will be blinded. Group 2 and Group 2C patients are those who are refractory to bevacizumab (experienced recurrence or progression of glioblastoma while on bevacizumab or within 2 months of discontinuing bevacizumab). These patients will all receive rindopepimut/GM-CSF along with bevacizumab. Patients will be treated until disease progression or intolerance and all patients will be followed for survival. Patients may be treated with other therapies that are not part of the study after discontinuing treatment with the study vaccine.

Drug Information available for: Bevacizumab

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Group 1a: Bevacizumab Naïve with Bevacizumab + rindopepimut.
About half of the patients who have never received treatment with bevacizumab will receive rindopepimut/GM-CSF in a blinded fashion in combination with bevacizumab.
Drug: Bevacizumab
A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-specific humanized monoclonal antibody angiogenesis inhibitor. Infusions of 10 mg/kg of bevacizumab will begin on day 1 and will be administered every two weeks until progression of disease or intolerance during the treatment period.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: Rindopepimut (CDX-110) with GM-CSF
Rindopepimut/GM-CSF will initially be given three times, two weeks apart, followed by monthly injections until tumor progression or intolerance. Each dose will be 0.8 mL containing approximately 500 mcg CDX-110 and 150 mcg GM-CSF.

Experimental: Group 1b: Bevacizumab Naïve with Bevacizumab + KLH control
About half of the patients who have never received treatment with bevacizumab will receive KLH in a blinded fashion in combination with bevacizumab.
Drug: Bevacizumab
A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-specific humanized monoclonal antibody angiogenesis inhibitor. Infusions of 10 mg/kg of bevacizumab will begin on day 1 and will be administered every two weeks until progression of disease or intolerance during the treatment period.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: KLH
KLH will initially be given three times, two weeks apart, followed by monthly injections until tumor progression or intolerance. Each dose will be 0.8 mL containing approximately 100 mcg of KLH.

Experimental: Group 2 and 2C: Refractory to Bevacizumab
Patients with progressive disease while currently on or within two months after discontinuing bevacizumab will be administered rindopepimut/GM-CSF while continuing (or restarting if they had stopped bevacizumab).
Drug: Bevacizumab
A vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)-specific humanized monoclonal antibody angiogenesis inhibitor. Infusions of 10 mg/kg of bevacizumab will begin on day 1 and will be administered every two weeks until progression of disease or intolerance during the treatment period.
Other Name: Avastin

Drug: Rindopepimut (CDX-110) with GM-CSF
Rindopepimut/GM-CSF will initially be given three times, two weeks apart, followed by monthly injections until tumor progression or intolerance. Each dose will be 0.8 mL containing approximately 500 mcg CDX-110 and 150 mcg GM-CSF.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Groups 1 and 2: Progression-free survival rate [ Time Frame: 6 months post-Day 1 ]
    Evaluate the antitumor activity of rindopepimut in adult patients with relapsed glioblastoma, as measured by the progression-free survival rate at 6 months post-Day 1 (PFS 6).

  2. Group 2C: Objective Response Rate [ Time Frame: Every 8 weeks from Day 1 through progression or initiation of other anti-cancer therapy ]
    Evaluate the anti-tumor activity of rindopepimut in adult patients with relapsed glioblastoma, as measured by the objective response rate (ORR) for patients with measurable disease at study entry.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: Until 28 days or initiation of other anti-cancer treatment, whichever is first ]
    Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by comparing the treatment regimens in regards to vital sign measurements, physical and neurological examinations, adverse events reporting, and Karnofsky performance status

  2. Anti-tumor activity [ Time Frame: During treatment and every 8 weeks through follow up ]
    Evaluated by comparing the treatment regimens for anti-tumor activity, including objective response rate, overall progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) for Groups 1 and 2; and PFS6, overall PFS, and OS for Group 2C.

  3. EGFRvIII-specific immune response [ Time Frame: Several times during the first month of treatment and then approximately every 8 weeks until treatment is stopped. ]
    Characterize the EGFRvIII specific immune response to rindopepimut.
