Summary

This research study involves an investigational product: Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with veledimex for production of human interleukin-12 (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. Nivolumab is an antibody (a kind of human protein) that is being tested to see if it will allow the body's immune system to work against glioblastoma tumors. Opdivo (Nivolumab) is currently FDA approved in the United States for melanoma (a type of skin cancer), non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell cancer (a type of kidney cancer), Hodgkin's lymphoma but is not approved in glioblastoma. Nivolumab may help your immune system detect and attack cancer cells. Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and veledimex will be given in combination with Nivolumab to enhance the IL-12 mediated effect observed to date. The main purpose of this substudy is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single tumoral injection of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 given with oral veledimex in combination with nivolumab.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Male or female subject ≥18 and ≤75 years of age
  • Provision of written informed consent for tumor resection, stereotactic surgery, tumor biopsy, samples collection, and treatment with investigational products prior to undergoing any study specific procedures
  • Histologically confirmed supratentorial glioblastoma
  • Evidence of tumor recurrence/progression by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) criteria after standard initial therapy
  • Previous standard-of-care antitumor treatment including surgery and/or biopsy and chemoradiation. At the time of registration, subjects must have recovered from the toxic effects of previous treatments as determined by the treating physician. The washout periods from prior therapies are intended as follows: (windows other than what is listed below should be allowed only after consultation with the Medical Monitor)
  • Nitrosureas: 6 weeks
  • Other cytotoxic agents: 4 weeks
  • Antiangiogenic agents, including bevacizumab: 4weeks
  • Targeted agents, including small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitors: 2 weeks
  • Vaccine-based therapy: 3 months
  • Able to undergo standard MRI scans with contrast agent before enrollment and after treatment
  • Karnofsky Performance Status ≥70%
  • Adequate bone marrow reserves and liver and kidney function, as assessed by the following laboratory requirements:
  • Hemoglobin ≥9 g/L
  • Lymphocytes >500/mm3
  • Absolute neutrophil count ≥1500/mm3
  • Platelets ≥100,000/mm3
  • Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
  • Aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN. For subjects with documented liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤5 x ULN
  • Total bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN
  • International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) within normal institutional limits
  • Male and female subjects must agree to use a highly reliable method of birth control (expected failure rate <5% per year) from the Screening Visit through 28 days after the last dose of study drug. Women of childbearing potential (perimenopausal women must be amenorrheic for at least 12 months to be considered of non-childbearing potential) must have a negative pregnancy test at screening.
  • Normal cardiac and pulmonary function as evidenced by a normal electrocardiogram (ECG) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥90% by pulse oximetry

Exclusion Criteria

  • Subjects with clinically significant increased intracranial pressure (eg, impending herniation or requirement for immediate palliative treatment) or uncontrolled seizures
