Purpose

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.

Experimental
DNX-2401 alone 		Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401
  • Drug: Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401
    In the randomized group, following brain tumor biopsy and histological confirmation of recurrent glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, a single injection of DNX-2401 was administered directly into the brain tumor with or without subsequent interferon gamma (IFN-γ) No additional subjects will be randomized. A single intratumoral dose of DNX-2401 will be delivered by cannula.
    Other names:
    • Oncolytic virus

Experimental
DNX-2401 + Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) 		Interferon gamma (IFN-γ) beginning at Day 14
  • Drug: Single intratumoral injection of DNX-2401
    In the randomized group, following brain tumor biopsy and histological confirmation of recurrent glioblastoma/gliosarcoma, a single injection of DNX-2401 was administered directly into the brain tumor with or without subsequent interferon gamma (IFN-γ) No additional subjects will be randomized. A single intratumoral dose of DNX-2401 will be delivered by cannula.
    Other names:
    • Oncolytic virus
    • Genetically-modified adenovirus

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.
