Detailed Description
This is a randomized, placebo-controlled study. That means that some patients will receive an active drug (SurVaxM) and some will receive an inactive drug (placebo). Patients who agree to participate will be randomized (chance) to one of two groups. Patients that are randomized by chance to receive SurVaxM will be treated with standard-of-care temozolomide plus an injection under the skin of SurVaxM in Montanide (a milky white substance that helps SurVaxM to be recognized by the patient's immune system). Patients in this group will also receive a second separate injection of a drug called sargramostim that boosts the patient's immune system at the site of the first injection. These injections will be repeated at regular intervals according to a schedule.
Patients that are randomized to receive placebo will be treated with standard-of-care temozolomide plus an injection under the skin of saline (salt water) in Montanide (a milky white substance). Patients in this group will also receive a second separate injection of saline to simulate the injection of sargramostim that patient's in the SurVaxM group receive. These injections will be repeated at regular intervals according to a schedule.
The treatments in the two groups (SurVaxM and placebo groups) will be completely indistinguishable to patients and their treating doctors.

Description
Inclusion Criteria:
To be included in this study, participants must meet the following criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years of age.
- Have a Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70 (i.e., the patient must be able to care for him/herself with occasional help from others; refer to Appendix A).
3 .Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of glioblastoma of the cerebrum.
4 .The result of tumor MGMT methylation study must be available.
5 .The result of tumor IDH-1 mutation test must be available.
6. Have the following clinical laboratory values obtained within 14 days prior to registration:
- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5 x 109/L
- Platelets ≥ 100 x 109/L
- Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥ 9.0 g/dL
- Total bilirubin: ≤ 1.5 x ULN
- ALT and AST ≤ 4.0 x ULN
- Creatinine ≤ 1.8 mg/dL
- Prothrombin time (PT) within 1.5x normal limits
- Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPPT) within 1.5x control
International Normalized Ration (INR) less than or equal to 1.5x control
7. Patient must have no active bleeding or pathological condition that carries a high risk of bleeding (e.g., coagulopathy)
8. Available results from a contrast-enhanced, post-operative brain MRI that was completed within 72 hours after surgery documenting either:
a. gross total resection consisting of no gadolinium enhancement; or b. near-total resection consisting of either ≤ 1 cm3 nodular (i.e. volumetric) enhancement or ≤ 100 mm2 in cross sectional area (i.e. linear enhancement). Note: Patients who undergo either stereotactic biopsy or open biopsy for tissue diagnosis, or partial tumor resection, and who subsequently have a definitive surgical resection may still be eligible for inclusion, provided that randomization can occur within 16 weeks of the date of surgical resection. To be eligible, such patients must still meet postoperative imaging entry criteria as defined in item #8 above.
9. Patients must have completed initial radiation therapy with TMZ (chemoradiation) according to established Stupp protocol (Stupp, 2005) for the treatment of their glioblastoma (i.e., completed 6-week course of RT and completed ≥ 75% of a course of concurrent TMZ chemotherapy).
10. Patients must be randomized within 16 weeks of surgical resection of their newly diagnosed glioblastoma.
11. No evidence of progressive disease at the post-chemoradiation timepoint based on changes in: neurologic exam, corticosteroid use or radiographic progression (i.e., baseline MRI evaluation). (See Section 14.5 for suspected pseudo-progression.)
12. Participants of child-bearing potential (not surgically sterile or postmenopausal) must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and have a negative pregnancy test prior to starting study treatment. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
13. Dexamethasone dose less than or equal to 4 mg daily at time of study enrollment. Every reasonable effort should be made to reduce the dose of corticosteroids to the absolute minimum dose required to control neurologic symptoms prior to receiving SurVaxM.
14. Participant or legal representative must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Independent Ethics Committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure.

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Arm A
Peptide Vaccine (SurVaxM) in emulsion with Montanide given together with locally administered Sargramostim plus adjuvant oral Temozolomide
|
Consists of a synthetic peptide conjugate that stimulates immune responses capable of killing cancer cells that express the survivin molecule.
Multiple copies of the multiplied peptide (SVN53-67/M57) are conjugated to Keyhole Limpet Hemocyanin (KLH) yielding a molecule designated as SVN53-67/M57-KLH.
The SVN53-67/M57-KLH conjugate (SurVaxM)produces immune responses in mice and humans that are cross-reactive to the wild-type survivin molecule expressed by tumor cells.
The survivin peptide in SurVaxM is a defined antigenic peptide comprised of 15 amino acids that encompass multiple epitopes capable of binding human MHC Class I and murine H2-Kb molecules.
SurVaxM also contains a core antigenic epitope that has been modified by substitution of methionine for cysteine at amino acid position 57 (i.e., M57).
