Brief Summary:

This research study involves an investigational product: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with veledimex for production of human IL-12. IL-12 is a protein that can improve the body's natural response to disease by enhancing the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells and may interfere with blood flow to the tumor.

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single tumor injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with oral veledimex.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Glioblastoma Multiforme Anaplastic Oligoastrocytoma Biological: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 Drug: veledimex Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Eligible patients will be stratified to one of two groups, according to clinical indication for tumor resection. Patients who are scheduled for a standard of care craniotomy and tumor resection will receive one dose of veledimex before the resection procedure. Ad-RTS-hIL-12 will be administered by free-hand injection. Patients will continue on oral veledimex for 14 days.

Patients not scheduled for tumor resection will receive Ad-RTS-hIL-12 by stereotactic injection and then will continue on oral veledimex for 14 days.

The study is divided into three periods: the screening period, the treatment period and the follow-up period.

Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase I Study of Ad-RTS-hIL-12, an Inducible Adenoviral Vector Engineered to Express hIL-12 in the Presence of the Activator Ligand Veledimex in Subjects With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma or Grade III Malignant Glioma
Study Start Date : June 2015
Actual Primary Completion Date : August 2019
Actual Study Completion Date : August 2019


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Ad-RTS-hIL-12+veledimex
varying doses of intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 (INXN-2001) and oral veledimex (activator ligand).
Biological: Ad-RTS-hIL-12
  • 2.0 x 10^11 viral particles (vp) per injection or 1.0 x 10^12 viral particles (vp) per injection
  • one intratumoral injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12
Other Name: INXN-2001

Drug: veledimex
  • 4 doses (20mg/day, 40mg/day, 80mg/day, and 120mg/day)
  • 14 oral daily doses of veledimex
  • 1 Expansion cohort at a single dose level at or below MTD
Other Names:
  • INXN-1001
  • Activator Ligand




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety and tolerability of varying doses of intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and oral veledimex doses in subjects with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma or Grade III malignant glioma [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Evaluation will be based on the incidence, intensity, and type of Adverse Events (AEs). Clinically significant changes in the subjects' physical examinations, vital signs, and ECG evaluations, and clinical manifestations relevant to abnormal laboratory values will be captured as AEs.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Veledimex maximum tolerated dose (MTD) when given with varying doses of intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  2. Veledimex pharmacokinetic profile and veledimex concentration ratio between the brain tumor and the blood [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Veledimex PK parameters to be determined will include, but are not limited to, the maximum plasma concentration (Cmax), time to maximum plasma concentration (Tmax), half-life (t1/2), area-under-the-concentration versus time curve (AUC), volume of distribution (Vd), and clearance (CL). Where possible, descriptive statistics of the PK parameters will be provided; individual subject veledimex concentrations, actual sampling times, and PK parameters will be listed.

  3. Cellular and humoral immune responses elicited by Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and veledimex [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  4. Tumor Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  5. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
  6. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: 3 years ]

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:
