Phase II/III Study of CDX-110 in Patients With Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) (ACT III)

This study is currently recruiting participants.
Verified by Celldex Therapeutics, August 2008

Sponsored by: Celldex Therapeutics
Information provided by: Celldex Therapeutics
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00458601
  Purpose

CDX-110 is an immunotherapeutic molecule that is intended to induce a tumor-specific immune response in EGFRvIII positive brain cancer. Cells producing EGFRvIII have an enhanced capacity for unregulated growth, survival, invasion, and recruitment of new tumor blood vessels. This Phase II/III study is designed to determine whether the addition of CDX-110 vaccination to a standard of care regimen provides significant benefit for patients. ACT III will randomize patients with newly diagnosed, EGFRvIII positive, resected GBM who have already received standard chemoradiation (with temozolomide) to CDX-110 plus temozolomide maintenance therapy (standard of care) or temozolomide maintenance therapy alone (in a 2:1 ratio; investigational vaccine:active comparator). Treatment will continue until disease progression, and patients will be followed for Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival.

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator
Standard of Care (maintenance temozolomide)
Drug: Temozolomide
Temozolomide 150-200 mg/m2 on days 1-5 of 28-day cycles, for up to 12 cycles
2: Experimental
Standard of care (maintenance temozolomide) plus CDX-110
Biological: CDX-110 EGFRvIII Vaccine / GM-CSF
500 mcg CDX-110 with 150 mcg GM-CSF as a once monthly intradermal injection continuing until intolerance or progression

Detailed Description:

GBM continues to carry a very poor prognosis despite resection and chemo/radiation. Approximately 45% of cases of GBM express the constitutively activated EGFR mutation "variant III" (EGFRvIII), a tumor specific immunogenic antigen. Historically controlled Phase II data suggest that vaccination against EGFRvIII after gross total resection and chemoradiation can approximately double Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival.

Comparison: ACT III will test these data in a randomized fashion (2:1 vaccine:control), comparing standard dose monthly temozolomide to the same chemotherapy given along with CDX-110 EGFRvIII vaccine. Patients will be followed for PFS and OS.
