Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (Recurrent Glioblastoma Participant Cohort)- Phase I Primary · Up to 42 days

The number of participants who were treated at the respective dose level without DLT

GroupValue95% CI
Phase I: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 5 x 10^63
Phase I: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 1 x 10^73
Phase I: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 5 x 10^73
Phase I: Recurrent Glioblastoma (MTD) Dose Level 1 x 10^87
Number of Participants With Immunological Effects in Tumor Tissue (Recurrent Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Primary · 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.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 1 x 10^81
Progression Free Survival (PFS) (Recurrent Glioblastoma Cohort) at 6 Months- Phase II Primary · 6 months

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.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 1 x 10^82.5
Overall Survival (OS) (Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Primary · Time from definitive histological diagnosis until death

Overall Survival is defined as the time from definitive histological diagnosis until the time of death.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Newly Diagnosed Dose Level 1 x 10^82413 – 24
Time to Progression (Recurrent Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Secondary · Baseline to disease progression, assessed up to 4 years

The length of time from the date of diagnosis or the start of treatment for a disease until the disease starts to get worse or spread to other parts of the body.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Recurrent Glioblastoma Dose Level 1 x 10^82.5
Overall Objective Response Rate (ORR) (Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Secondary · Up to 4 years

The number of participants with stable disease according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST).

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Newly Diagnosed Dose Level 1 x 10^83
Median Duration of Response (Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Secondary · Baseline to response, assessed up to 4 years

Cox proportional hazard regression will be employed for multivariate analysis.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Newly Diagnosed Dose Level 1 x 10^85.34 – 10
Progression Free Survival (PFS) (Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma Cohort)- Phase II Secondary · At 6 months

Progression free survival is defined as time in weeks from start of study treatment to first documentation of objective tumor progression or up to death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

GroupValue95% CI
Phase II: Newly Diagnosed Dose Level 1 x 10^8199 – 20

Sponsor's own description

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.
