Combination Adenovirus + Pembrolizumab to Trigger Immune Virus Effects (CAPTIVE)

July 13, 2021 updated by: DNAtrix, Inc.

A Phase II, Multi-center, Open-label Study of a Conditionally Replicative Adenovirus (DNX-2401) With Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA®) for Recurrent Glioblastoma or Gliosarcoma (CAPTIVE/KEYNOTE-192)

Glioblastoma (GBM) and gliosarcoma (GS) are the most common and aggressive forms of malignant brain tumor in adults and can be resistant to conventional therapies. The purpose of this Phase II study is to evaluate how well a recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma tumor responds to one injection of DNX-2401, a genetically modified oncolytic adenovirus, when delivered directly into the tumor followed by the administration of intravenous pembrolizumab (an immune checkpoint inhibitor) given every 3 weeks for up to 2 years or until disease progression.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

In the initial phase of the study, up to 12 evaluable subjects will be enrolled in 3 dose cohorts to determine the best dose of DNX-2401, as follows:

  • Cohort 1: Single dose DNX-2401 (5e8 vp) delivered intratumorally by cannula, followed by intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks (Q3W)
  • Cohort 2: Single dose DNX-2401(5e9 vp) delivered intratumorally by cannula, followed by intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks (Q3W)
  • Cohort 3: Single dose DNX-2401 (5e10 vp) delivered intratumorally by cannula, followed by intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks (Q3W)

Following the initial phase, up to 36 additional subjects diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma or gliosarcoma will be enrolled to receive a single of DNX-2401 determined in the initial phase administered intratumorally followed by intravenous pembrolizumab every 3 weeks.

All subjects will return to the clinic for study follow-up visits at regular intervals for safety monitoring, MRI scans and other assessments, for up to 2 years or until disease progression. All subjects will be followed closely for safety and survival.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No
