DB107-Retroviral Replicating Vector (RRV) Combined With DB107-Flucytosine (FC) in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma or Anaplastic Astrocytoma

Study Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational products, DB107-RRV and DB107-FC, as a combination treatment will shrink high-grade glioma (HGG) in patients with recurrent/progressive, resectable or unresectable disease and increase the time that disease is controlled.

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.

Laboratory values (Platelet count ≥ 80,000, hemoglobin [Hg] ≥10 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500 cells/mm3, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) > 500/mm3) and adequate liver function, total bilirubin< 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine transaminase (ALT) <2.5 ULN. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be > 50 mL/min (Cockcroft Gault Formula). Patients with aspartate transaminase (AST) or ALT values >3 ULN and total bilirubin >1.5 mg/dL will be excluded. 9. Patients cannot be pregnant at the time of enrollment or during the study. Patients willing to use one
  • (1) effective method of contraception in addition to barrier methods (condoms) from the time of signing the informed consent form until 12 months after receiving the last dose of DB107-RRV or until there is no evidence of DB107-RRV in their blood, whichever is longer.
10. Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥ 70. 11. Patient is able to consent and abide by protocol.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. History of active other malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancers, cervical ductal carcinoma in situ or localized prostate cancer) within 5 years. 2. Multifocal gliomas that cannot undergo stereotactic biopsy/administration of DB107-RRV will be excluded. Patients with 3 or more intracranial recurrences will be excluded. 3. Histologically confirmed oligodendroglioma or mixed gliomas. 4. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or other forms of severe immunosuppression. 5. Patients with impaired renal function (eGFR<50 cc/min). 6. Patients with bone marrow depression, such as those with a hematological disease or who are being treated with radiation or drugs that depress bone marrow or individuals who have a history of treatment with drugs or radiation that depress bone marrow within 1 month of enrollment. 7. The patient intends to undergo treatment with the Gliadel® wafer at the time of this surgery or has received the Gliadel® wafer < 30 days from surgery. 8. Allergy to 5-FC. 9. Gastrointestinal diseases that prevent absorption of medications such as 5-FC. 10. Pregnancy or patients who are actively breast-feeding. 11. Recent use of cytosine arabinoside (< 3 weeks). 12. Recent treatment with bevacizumamab (< 3 weeks). 13. Recent treatment with temozolomide (<4 weeks). 14. History of bleeding diathesis or current anti-coagulant or anti-platelet usage, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), at the time of the scheduled resection that cannot be stopped for surgery. 15. Sustained dependence on systemic dexamethasone (>8 mg/day) one month prior to surgery. 16. Severe systemic illnesses including cardiopulmonary dysfunction (New York Heart Association > Grade 2 congestive heart failure (CHF), uncontrolled arrhythmias, significant pulmonary disease > Grade 2 dyspnea) or other serious medical condition or social situations that in the judgement of the Investigator(s) would interfere or limit compliance with study requirements/treatments. 17. The patient has or had any active infection requiring systemic antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral therapy within the past 4 weeks. 18. Current or active coronavirus disease (COVID-19) disease, positive quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) result. 19. Patients with impaired decision-making capacity. 20. Patients who are currently receiving investigational medications or medical device(s) within 4 weeks (or 5 half-lives of the investigational medication(s), whichever is shorter) prior to enrollment. 21. Patients who have any other disease, either metabolic or psychological, which as per Investigator assessment may affect the patient's compliance or place the patient at higher risk of potential treatment complications.

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06264388
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.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: DB107-RRV and DB107-FC Group

Patients will receive DB107-RRV during the tumor resection/biopsy procedure. Approximately 6 weeks after surgery, patients will start drug therapy with a 7-day oral regimen of 220 mg/kg/day DB107-FC, which is to be self-administered. This 7-day regimen, which is considered one cycle of treatment, is to be repeated every 6 weeks for up to 12 months. Patients will undergo follow up procedures for at least 5 years after last DB107-RRV treatment.

Interventions

Drug: - DB107-RRV

Patients will undergo surgery to remove as much of the high-grade glioma (HHG) tumor as possible and will receive combination intravenous (IV) and adaptive repeat intratumoral delivery of DB107-RRV in the vein (IV) and in the walls of the cavity that remains where tumor is removed.

Drug: - DB107-FC

Patients will start taking DB107-FC three times by mouth every day for a period of seven days, which is one cycle of treatment. A cycle of treatment is medication taken on a set schedule with periods of rest in between. Patients will wait five weeks before taking the next seven day course of DB107-FC. The first dose of DB107-FC will be taken at the hospital or clinic; afterward, patients will take the doses of DB107-FC at home. Patients will take DB107-FC for up to 12 months after surgery.
