5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Glioblastoma (GBM) and gliosarcoma (GS) are the most common and aggressive forms of malignant primary brain tumor in adults and can be resistant to conventional therapies. The purpose of this Phase Ib study is to evaluate how well a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor responds to one injection of DNX-2401, a genetically modified, conditionally replicative and oncolytic human-derived adenovirus. DNX-2401 is delivered directly into the tumor where it may establish an active infection by replicating in and killing tumor cells.
Detailed Description
Enrollment has been completed for the randomized portion of the study with ongoing evaluation of tumor response and safety. No additional subjects will be randomized or receive interferon gamma (IFN-γ). The non-randomized portion of the study is open for screening and enrollment. Eligible subjects will receive a single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401 into a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma brain tumor using the Alcyone MEMS Cannula (AMC™) System (cannula). Tumor response and safety will be evaluated. After receiving DNX-2401, subjects will return to the clinic for study visits at regular intervals for safety monitoring, MRI scans and other assessments for up to 18 months. Thereafter, they will be followed closely for safety and survival.
