Expanded Access Protocol for GBM Patients With Already Manufactured DCVax®-L Who Have Screen-Failed Protocol 020221

Study Purpose

The study is an open-label expanded access study for patients for whom vaccine was manufactured during the Northwest Biotherapeutics' 020221 DCVax-L for GBM screening process, but who subsequently failed to meet specific enrollment criteria. Patients will receive therapy per investigator discretion (standard of care) as well as active vaccine per the 020221 protocol administration schedule. It is estimated that approximately 99 patients will enroll in this study.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

DCVax-L product manufactured and released.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Active uncontrolled infection, or acute infection requiring antibiotic or antifungal therapy. Antibiotic and antifungal therapy should be completed approximately 7 days prior to the first immunization. 2. Fever ≥101.5oF. If considered possibly transient, retesting is allowed. 3. Unstable or severe intercurrent medical conditions. 4.

NCT02146066
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

Patients who are being screened under protocol 020221 who are not eligible for enrollment due to a) evidence of disease progression or pseudo-progression post chemo-radiation or b) insufficient (<5 doses) vaccine manufactured, and for whom the DCVax-L treatment was manufactured and released are eligible for this study. Treatment Schedule: Open label vaccine injections will be give per the associated 020221 protocol. Injections will be given at days 0, 10, 20, and at months 2, 4, 8, 12, 18, 24 and 30. There are no therapeutic restrictions, but guidelines for drug administration are recommended as per the 020221 protocol. Data collected includes vaccine administration information, and any vaccine related adverse event. Patient MRIs will be collected centrally for future review. Patients will be followed for disease progression and survival.
