Number of Participants With Immunological Effects in Tumor Tissue (Recurrent Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase IIPrimary· Up to 4 years
Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize immunological effect. To evaluate the tumor-mediated immune suppression at the effector location, the markers (interferon, interleukin-2, and tumor necrosis factor alpha, perforin, granzyme B) will be measured for immune responses in the tumor microenvironment rather than in the peripheral blood.

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the time from study enrollment until the time of first disease progression, relapse, or death due to disease. Patients who are alive without progression or relapse will be censored at the time of last contact. The point estimate of 6-month progression-free survival (PFS6) will be analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves will be generated and median survival time will be derived.

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of autologous cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific cytotoxic T cells when given together with temozolomide and to see how well they work in treating patients with glioblastoma. Autologous CMV-specific cytotoxic T cells may stimulate the immune system to attack specific tumor cells and stop them from growing or kill them. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as temozolomide, may work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving autologous CMV-specific cytotoxic T cells with temozolomide may be a better treatment for patients with glioblastoma.
