Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] associated with the combination AB122 and AB154 in patients with recurrent glioblastoma
Adverse events will be listed individually by patient and treatment group. The number of patients experiencing each adverse event will be summarized by organ and grade. The number and percentage of patients with adverse events in the different categories will be summarized by treatment group.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Single cell RNA sequencing of tumor and blood after exposure to AB154 with and without AB122
Pharmacodynamic effects of each pre-surgery treatment will be evaluated with single-cell RNA sequencing of tumor and blood to determine effects of each intervention on the immune response.
Tregs and CD8 T cells ratio by immunofluorescence
Resected tumors in cohorts B1 to 4 will be analyzed utilizing immunofluorescence for the ratio between Tregs and CD8 T cells, calculated by counting cells that are positive for a FoxP3 or a CD8 staining.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a phase 0/I exploratory study. Patients at first or second recurrence of glioblastoma will be enrolled. The study will be divided into two cohorts: Cohort A (safety cohort) and Cohort B (surgical patient cohort). Cohort A: Eligible patients will be sequentially enrolled to receive intravenous AB154 combined with AB122 (N=6). AB154 will be given at a dose of 10 mg/kg and AB122 will be given at a dose of 240 mg (flat). Cohort B: Expansion surgical cohort. The purpose of cohort B is to provide an additional safety evaluation of AB154 + AB122 as well as tissue and blood for exploratory ancillary studies investigating the effects of AB154 + AB122 in the tumor and tumor microenvironment. A total of 40 patients will be enrolled in this cohort.

A total of 40 patients will be enrolled in this cohort. Following completion of cohort A, patients who are candidates for surgical resection for management of tumor progression (i.e. need for diagnostic confirmation or tumor debulking) will be enrolled prior to surgical resection, and initiate study treatment approximately two weeks prior to the resection. Patients will be randomized to one of the four treatment arms and initiate treatment prior to surgery, according to treatment assignment. The pre-surgical dose (neoadjuvant treatment) will be double-blinded. A total of 10 patients will be allocated to each one of the following groups in a blinded fashion, approximately two weeks before surgery: B1 (N=10): AB154 single agent (10 mg/kg) + placebo B2 (N=10): AB122 single agent (240 mg) + placebo B3 (N=10): AB154 (10 mg/kg) +AB122 (240 mg) B4 (N=10): Two placebo infusions Following surgery, all patients (N=40) will initiate treatment with the combination of AB154 and AB122.
