Brief Summary:
Glioblastoma (GBM) and gliosarcoma (GS) are the most common and aggressive forms of malignant primary brain tumor in adults and can be resistant to conventional therapies. The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to evaluate how well a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor responds to one injection of DNX-2401, a genetically modified, conditionally replicative and oncolytic human-derived adenovirus. DNX-2401 is delivered directly into the tumor where it may establish an active infection by replicating in and killing tumor cells.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma Drug: Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401 Drug: Interferon-gamma Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Enrollment has been completed for the randomized portion of the study with ongoing evaluation of tumor response and safety. No additional subjects will be randomized or receive interferon gamma (IFN-γ).

The non-randomized portion of the study is open for screening and enrollment. Eligible subjects will receive a single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401 into a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma brain tumor using the Alcyone MEMS Cannula (AMC™) System (cannula). Tumor response and safety will be evaluated.

After receiving DNX-2401, subjects will return to the clinic for study visits at regular intervals for safety monitoring, MRI scans and other assessments for up to 18 months. Thereafter, they will be followed closely for safety and survival.

Official Title: A Phase 1b, Randomized, Multi-center, Open-label Study of a Conditionally Replicative Adenovirus (DNX-2401) and Interferon Gamma (IFN-γ) for Recurrent Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma (TARGET-I)
Actual Study Start Date : September 11, 2014

Actual Study Completion Date : March 15, 2018


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: DNX-2401 alone
Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401
Drug: Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401

In the randomized group, following brain tumor biopsy and histological confirmation of recurrent glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, a single injection of DNX-2401 was administered directly into the brain tumor with or without subsequent interferon gamma (IFN-γ)

No additional subjects will be randomized. A single intratumoral dose of DNX-2401 will be delivered by cannula.

Other Names:
  • Oncolytic virus
  • Genetically-modified adenovirus

Experimental: DNX-2401 + Interferon gamma (IFN-γ)
Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) beginning at Day 14
Drug: Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401

In the randomized group, following brain tumor biopsy and histological confirmation of recurrent glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, a single injection of DNX-2401 was administered directly into the brain tumor with or without subsequent interferon gamma (IFN-γ)

No additional subjects will be randomized. A single intratumoral dose of DNX-2401 will be delivered by cannula.

Other Names:
  • Oncolytic virus
  • Genetically-modified adenovirus

Drug: Interferon-gamma
In the randomized group, a single injection of DNX-2401 was followed by interferon gamma (IFN-γ). No additional subjects will be randomized or receive IFN-γ following DNX-2401
Other Names:
  • Actimmune
  • immunotherapy
  • gamma interferon




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective response rate (ORR) determined by MRI scan review [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
    Interval tumor size change will be measured


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events, including changes in laboratory test results and neurological examination findings [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
    Events are classified using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03

  2. Number of subjects with immunological and biological effects after DNX-2401 with Interferon gamma [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
    Laboratory test results and other assessments will be utilized to determine effects

  3. Changes in steroid use (dose and frequency) and clinical and KPS status overall and per study arm assignment [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
  4. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and clinical benefit rate (CBR). [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
  5. Changes in responses to quality of life questionnaires [ Time Frame: 1.5 years ]
