Delta-24-RGD for Recurrent Malignant Gliomas
This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, January 2009
Sponsored by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
Information provided by: M.D. Anderson Cancer Center
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00805376
  Purpose

Objectives:

  • To determine the maximum tolerated dose of Delta-24-RGD-4C, a conditionally replication-competent AdV with enhanced infectivity, administered by intratumoral injection and into the post-resection cavity in patients with recurrent malignant glioma.
  • To determine the local and systemic toxicity of Delta-24-RGD-4C administered by intratumoral injection and by injection into the post resection tumor cavity.
  • To determine the biological effects at the molecular level of intratumoral administration of Delta-24-RGD-4C by analyzing brain tumor specimens treated with Delta-24-RGD-4C for the expression and distribution of viral proteins, the occurrence of cell death, and the induction of an immune response.
  • To evaluate viral shedding.
  • To identify potential anti-tumor activity and to evaluate time to disease progression.

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Both
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Patients with histologically proven recurrent malignant primary glioma will be eligible. Glioma type will be restricted to: GBM, gliosarcoma (GS), anaplastic gliomas [anaplastic astrocytoma (AA), anaplastic oligodendroglioma (AO), anaplastic infiltrating glioma (AIG), mixed anaplastic glioma (MAG), anaplastic ependymoma]
  2. Patients must show unequivocal evidence for tumor recurrence or progression by MRI scan within 2 weeks prior to screening after failing prior surgical resection, biopsy, chemotherapy or radiation
  3. For patients entered in Group A (see Treatment Plan) tumors must be accessible for stereotactic injection. Tumors must be between 1.0 - 5.0 cm in diameter
  4. For patients entered in Group B (see Treatment Plan) tumors must be surgically resectable, and surgical resection must be indicated at the time of baseline evaluation. Tumors must be >1.0 cm in diameter.
  5. Patients will consent to have a biopsy taken at the time of the stereotactic injection to confirm the presence of malignant glioma (based on frozen section) before injection of Delta-24-RGD-4C
  6. For each patient there must be a consensus between the physician investigators in this study that injection will not delivery Delta-24-RGD-4C into the ventilation system. Patients must have a stable steroid regimen for at least 1 week prior to Delta-24-RGD-4C administration
  7. Patients may or may not have had prior chemotherapy
  8. Patients must be willing and able to give informed consent
  9. Age > /= 18 years
  10. Patients must have a Karnofsky performance status >/= 70
  11. Patients must have recovered from the toxic effects of prior therapy (i.e., CTC grade 1 or less). For example, they must be at least two weeks after vincristine, 6 weeks after nitrosoureas, and 3 weeks after procarbazine or temozolomide administration
  12. Patients must have adequate bone marrow function (absolute granulocyte count > 1,500 and platelet count of > 100,000), adequate liver function (SGPT and alkaline phosphatase < 2 times institutional normals and bilirubin <1.5 mg%), and adequate renal function (BUN or creatinine <1.5 times institutional normal) prior to starting therapy
  13. This study was designed to include women and minorities, but was not designed to measure differences of intervention effects. Males and females will be recruited with no preference to gender
  14. No exclusion to this study will be based on race. Minorities will actively be recruited to participate. The malignant glioma patient population treated at MDACC over the past year is as follows: American Indian or Alaskan Native - 0, Asian or Pacific Islander - <2%, Black, not of Hispanic Origin - 3%, Hispanic - 6%, White, not of Hispanic Origin - 88%, Other or Unknown - 2%, Total - 100%

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Any radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to date of Delta-24-RGD administration.
  2. Active uncontrolled infection or severe intercurrent medical conditions. All patients must be afebrile at baseline (i.e., < 38.0 Degrees Celsius [C])
  3. Evidence of bleeding diathesis or use of anticoagulant medication or any medication that may increase the risk of bleeding that cannot be stopped prior to surgery. If the medication can be discontinued >/= 2 weeks prior to Delta-24-RGD-4C injection then patient may be eligible.
  4. History or current diagnosis of any medical or psychological condition that in the Investigator's opinion, might interfere with the subject's ability to participate or inability to obtain informed consent because of psychiatric or complicating medical problems
  5. Female who is pregnant and/or nursing. Because of the potential risk of a recombinant virus containing a gene involved in cellular growth regulation and differentiation which could potentially affect a developing fetus or growing infant, females who are pregnant, at risk of pregnancy, or breast feeding a baby during the study period are excluded
  6. Tumor position that, in the Investigator's opinion, would pose the risk of penetration of the cerebral ventricular system during injection with study drug. If, during the Delta-24-RGD-4C injection procedure, penetration of the ventricular system is suspected or confirmed, Delta-24-RGD-4C administration will be aborted
  7. Immunocompromised subjects, subjects with autoimmune conditions, active hepatitis (A, B, C or D [Delta]) or HIV seropositivity
  8. Patients with Li-Fraumini Syndrome or with a known germ line deficit in the retinoblastoma gene or its related pathways
  9. Multiple intracranial malignant glioma lesions
  10. Tumor involvement which would require ventricular, brainstem or posterior fossa injection or access through a ventricle in order to deliver the virus
  11. Tumor involving the subependymoma or suspected cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dissemination
  12. Documented extracranial metastasis
  13. Biologic/immunotherapy (e.g., IL-2, IL-12, interferon) within 4 weeks of Delta-24-RGD-4C administration
  14. Concurrent chemotherapy, radiation or biological therapy
  15. Any contraindication for undergoing MRI such as: individuals with pacemakers, epicardial pacer wires, infusion pumps, surgical and/or aneurysm clips, shrapnel, metal prosthesis, implants with potential magnetic properties, metallic bodies in the eyes, etc.
  16. White blood cell (WBC) < 2.5 x 103/mm3, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 x 103/mm3, platelet < 100,000/mm3, hemoglobin (Hgb) < 10.0 gm/dL, prothrombin time/international normalized ratio (PT/INR) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) > 1.8 x control
  17. Grade 4 hematological toxicity
  18. Serum creatinine > 1.5 mg/dL
  19. Liver transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase [AST] and/or alanine aminotransferase [ALT]) or total bilirubin > 2x the upper limits of normal
  20. Vaccinations of any kind within 30 days prior to Delta-24-RGD-4C administration
  21. History or current diagnosis of other cancer except curative cervical cancer in situ, basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  22. History of encephalitis, multiple sclerosis, other CNS infection or primary CNS disease that would interfere with subject evaluation
  23. Patients with history of prior gene transfer therapy or prior therapy with cytolytic virus of any type, especially Delta-24-RGD-4C
  24. Males or females who refuse to use a double-barrier form of birth control during the study and for up to 6 months after injection with Delta-24-RGD-4C
