Biomarker-Driven Therapy Using Immune Activators With Nivolumab in Patients With First Recurrence of Glioblastoma
Phase I Protocol to Assess Safety of Biomarker-Driven Therapy Using Selective Immune Activators in Combination With Anti-PD-1 (Nivolumab) in Patients With First Recurrence of Glioblastoma
This research is being done to test if it is safe to give nivolumab with targeted immunotherapy drugs for recurrent glioblastoma (GBM), a type of brain tumor. The study doctors believe that giving immunotherapy drugs that match the biomarkers in a tumor will help the immune system fight the tumor. Tumor tissue collected during surgery will be tested for certain biomarkers to determine which immunotherapy might best target the tumor.
The combination immunotherapy arms include:
Arm A: Nivolumab + anti-GITR Arm B: Nivolumab + IDO1 inhibitor Arm C: Nivolumab + Ipilimumab

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
1. To determine safety of each of the following study agents, anti-GITR, IDO1 inhibitor, and ipilimumab, in combination with nivolumab (BMS-936558) flat dose in patients with first recurrence of GBM.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
- To estimate toxicity
- To estimate progression-free survival
- To estimate overall survival
- To evaluate pain for patients undergoing the treatment of anti-GITR, IDO1 inhibitor, and ipilimumab, in combination with nivolumab.
EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES
- To characterize the immune response during and after treatment as measured by immunohistochemistry, and other T cells etc. in peripheral blood
- To characterize the pharmacodynamic and genomic activity in tumor tissue as target inhibition
- To characterize radiographic response
- Genetic characterization of correlative samples

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must have histologically proven glioblastoma or gliosarcoma which is progressive or recurrent following radiation therapy with or without temozolomide.
- Patient must be in first recurrence of glioblastoma following radiation therapy with or without temozolomide. Patients with previously grade 3 astrocytoma who after first recurrence after radiotherapy with or without temozolomide are found to have GBM are eligible. Patients with previously grade 3 glioma found to have conclusively progressed to GBM at the time screening tissue is taken are eligible. Patients who have received Gliadel wafers during their initial surgery are eligible.
- Patient must be undergoing repeat surgery that is clinically indicated as determined by their care providers, where a significant debulking or a gross total surgical resection of the contrast-enhancing area is intended.
- Patient must consent to our acquiring tumor tissue removed before, during, or after the study, if it becomes available.
- Patient must be able to undergo MRI of the brain with gadolinium.
- Patient must have recovered from severe toxicity of prior therapy. An interval of at least 12 weeks must have elapsed since the completion of radiation therapy or placement of Gliadel wafers, and at least 6 weeks must have elapsed from the last dose of temozolomide (TMZ) before starting Nivolumab. Patients must stop using the Optune device prior to starting nivolumab. No prior therapies are allowed other than radiation, temozolomide, Optune device, and Gliadel wafers (placed during the first surgery at diagnosis of high grade glioma (HGG)).
- Patients must be 18 years of age or older.
- Patients must have a Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60% (i.e. the patient must be able to care for himself/herself with occasional help from others).
- Patients must have the following organ and marrow function:
- Absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mcl
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/mcl
- Platelets ≥ 100,000/mcl
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dl
- Total bilirubin ≤ institutional upper limit of normal (except for patients with Gilberts' syndrome who must have normal direct bilirubin)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase [SGOT])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase [SGPT]) ≤ 3 × institutional upper limit of normal
- Creatinine ≤ institutional upper limit of normal OR Creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73m2 for patients with creatinine levels above institutional normal

- Patient must be able to provide written informed consent.
- Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP) must agree to have a negative serum pregnancy test within -7 days prior to treatment start. Women of childbearing potential must agree to use non-hormonal (due to induction of Cyp3a4) (barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, for the duration of study treatment, and through at least 5 months after the last dose of study drug. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Males who are sexually active with WOCBP must agree to use a condom during penile vaginal intercourse for the duration of treatment with study treatment plus 7 months after the last dose of the study treatment (i.e., 90 days [duration of sperm turnover] plus the time required for nivolumab to undergo approximately 5 half-lives). This criteria applies to azoospermic males as well.
- Patient must not have another malignancy unless disease free for ≥ 5 years. Curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, totally excised melanoma of stage IIA or lower, low- or intermediate-grade localized prostate cancer (Gleason sum ≤7), and curatively-treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, breast, or bladder are allowed regardless.
Exclusion Criteria:
