Pilot Study of Autologous T Cells Redirected to EGFRVIII-With a Chimeric Antigen Receptor in Patients With EGFRVIII+ Glioblastoma
An Open-Label Phase 1 Pilot Study to determine the safety and feasibility of CART-EGFRvIII
(autologous T cells transduced with a lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen
receptor specific for EGFRvIII) in the treatment of patients with EGFRvIII+ glioblastoma who
have had their first recurrence as determined by standard imaging or have have residual
disease after initial resection.
(autologous T cells transduced with a lentiviral vector to express a chimeric antigen
receptor specific for EGFRvIII) in the treatment of patients with EGFRvIII+ glioblastoma who
have had their first recurrence as determined by standard imaging or have have residual
disease after initial resection.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Pathological criteria: Glioblastoma (GBM) that is histologically confirmed by
pathology review of surgically resected tissue.
- Tumor cells from resected tissue must be available for EGFRvIII testing. Patients who
have previously been treated with an EGFRvIII-targeted therapy and recurred, must have
a tumor sample obtained after their recurrence available for EGFRvIII testing.
- Age greater than 18 years.
- If the patient is on dexamethasone, the anticipated dose must be 4 mg/day or less for
at least 5 days prior to apheresis.
- ECOG performance status of 0 or 1 Documented negative serum HCG for female patients of
child-bearing potential.
- Participants with adequate organ function as measured by:
- White blood count greater than or equal to 2500/mm^3; platelets greater than or
equal to 100,000/mm^3, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9.0 g/dL; without
transfusion or growth factor support
- AST, ALT, GGT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase within 2.5 x upper normal limit, and
total bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal
- Coagulation tests PT and PTT have to be within normal limits, unless the patient
has been therapeutically anti-coagulated for previous venous thrombosis.
- Provide voluntary informed consent for Tissue Screening and Apheresis
Inclusion Criteria Step 2:
1. Subject met all Step 1 Eligibility Criteria.
2. Tumor cells test positive for EGFRvIII expression (by RT-PCR, next generation
sequencing, or immunohistochemistry) and a CART EGFRvIII product has been manufactured
and formulated. Patients who have previously been treated with an EGFRvIII-targeted
therapy and recurred are only eligible if a tumor sample obtained after their
recurrence tests positive for EGFRvIII.
3. Stage of disease:
- Cohort 1: Patients with first relapse of previously diagnosed primary
glioblastoma. Recurrence may be determined by imaging and clinical criteria
alone.
- Cohort 2: Patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma with a less than 95%
resection or greater than or equal to 1 cm^3 of residual disease on the
post-operative MRI (typically post-operative day 1).
4. If the patient is on dexamethasone, the dose must be 4 mg/day or less prior to
CART-EGFRvIII infusion.
5. It is anticipated that all patients in Cohort 2 will have completed standard of care
external beam radiotherapy and chemotherapy with temozolomide (TMZ) at the time of the
pre-infusion safety visit.
6. Life expectancy less greater than 3 months
7. ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
9. Participants with adequate organ function as measured by:
- White blood count greater than or equal to 2500/mm^3; platelets greater than or equal
to 100,000/mm^3, hemoglobin greater than or equal to 9.0 g/dL; without transfusion or
growth factor support
- AST, ALT, GGT, LDH, alkaline phosphatase within 2.5 x upper normal limit, and total
bilirubin less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dL
- Serum creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 x upper limit of normal
- Coagulation tests PT and PTT have to be within normal limits, unless the patient has
been therapeutically anti-coagulated for previous venous thrombosis.
- Adequate cardiac function (greater than EF 55%) 10. Provide voluntary informed consent
for study treatment. 11. Female subjects of reproductive potential must agree to use a
reliable method of contraception.
Exclusion Criteria Step 1:
- Female subjects of reproductive potential who are pregnant or lactating. Female study
participants of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test as
part of Step 1 eligibility confirmation.
- Uncontrolled active infection.
- Active or latent chronic hepatitis B [detectable hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)]
or active hepatitis C (positive serology [HCV Ab]) infection.
- HIV infection.
- Previous treatment with any gene therapy products.
- Known addiction to alcohol or illicit drugs.
- History of allergy or hypersensitivity to study product excipients (human serum
albumin, DMSO, and Dextran 40)
Exclusion Criteria Step 2:
- Female subjects of reproductive potential who are pregnant or lactating. Female study
participants of reproductive potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test
within two weeks prior to CART-EGFRvIII cell infusion. The safety of this therapy on
unborn children is not known.
- Uncontrolled active infection.
- Use of immunosuppressive agents such as cyclosporine, MMF, tacrolimus, or rapamycin
within 4 weeks of enrollment on Step 2.
- A minimal dose of corticosteroid (dexamethasone up to 4 mg/day) is permitted. Recent
or current use of inhaled steroids is not exclusionary.
- Previous treatment with any gene therapy products.
- Subjects or their physicians anticipate use of any of the following concurrent
treatment or medications including: a. Radiosurgery (except for the Standard of Care
Fractionated External Radiation therapy is a part of the protocol regimen in Cohort 2)
b. Chemotherapy (except for the Standard of Care Temozolomide therapy in Cohort 2) c.
Interferon (e.g. Intron-A®) d. Allergy desensitization injections e. Any ongoing
investigational therapeutic medication. f. Bevacizumab
- Participants who have another cancer diagnosis with history of visceral metastases at
the time of pre-entry evaluation. The following diagnoses are examples that will be
allowed:
- squamous cell cancer of the skin without known metastasis
- basal cell cancer of the skin without known metastasis
- carcinoma in situ of the breast (DCIS or LCIS)
- carcinoma in situ of the cervix
- prostate cancer with only PSA recurrence
- any cancer that has not required systemic therapy (other than hormonal therapies)
for the past three (3) years.
- Any uncontrolled active medical disorder that would preclude participation as
outlined.
- Unstable angina and/or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening
- Known addiction to alcohol or illicit drugs.
- History of allergy or hypersensitivity to study product excipients (human serum
albumin, DMSO, and Dextran 40)
