About half of the patients who have never received treatment with bevacizumab will receive KLH in a blinded fashion in combination with bevacizumab.

Patients with progressive disease while currently on or within two months after discontinuing bevacizumab will be administered rindopepimut/GM-CSF while continuing (or restarting if they had stopped bevacizumab).

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Groups 1 and 2: Progression-free survival rate
Evaluate the antitumor activity of rindopepimut in adult patients with relapsed glioblastoma, as measured by the progression-free survival rate at 6 months post-Day 1 (PFS 6).
Group 2C: Objective Response Rate
Evaluate the anti-tumor activity of rindopepimut in adult patients with relapsed glioblastoma, as measured by the objective response rate (ORR) for patients with measurable disease at study entry.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Safety and Tolerability
Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by comparing the treatment regimens in regards to vital sign measurements, physical and neurological examinations, adverse events reporting, and Karnofsky performance status
Anti-tumor activity
Evaluated by comparing the treatment regimens for anti-tumor activity, including objective response rate, overall progression free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS) for Groups 1 and 2; and PFS6, overall PFS, and OS for Group 2C.
EGFRvIII-specific immune response
Characterize the EGFRvIII specific immune response to rindopepimut.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to find out whether adding an experimental vaccine called rindopepimut (also known as CDX-110) to the commonly used drug bevacizumab can improve progression free survival (slowing the growth of tumors) of patients with relapsed EGFRvIII positive glioblastoma.
Detailed Description
This Phase II study will enroll patients into three groups. Group 1 are patients who have never been treated with bevacizumab. These patients will be randomly assigned to receive either rindopepimut/GM-CSF or KLH, each along with bevacizumab. Treatment assignment for Group 1 will be blinded. Group 2 and Group 2C patients are those who are refractory to bevacizumab (experienced recurrence or progression of glioblastoma while on bevacizumab or within 2 months of discontinuing bevacizumab). These patients will all receive rindopepimut/GM-CSF along with bevacizumab. Patients will be treated until disease progression or intolerance and all patients will be followed for survival. Patients may be treated with other therapies that are not part of the study after discontinuing treatment with the study vaccine.
