Study summary

This is a multicenter, open-label study of DB107-RRV (formerly Toca 511) and DB107-FC (formerly Toca FC) when administered following surgical resection in newly diagnosed High Grade Glioma (HGG) patients. The study is designed to evaluate whether treatment with DB107-RRV in combination with DB107-FC when added to standard of care provides clinical benefit to newly diagnosed HGG when compared to historical performance previously determined in well controlled clinical trials published in the peer reviewed literature. This study is going to be conducted in newly diagnosed HGG patients receiving with maximum surgical resection treatment followed by radiation and temozolomide treatment using the established Stupp Protocol for O6-methylguanine-DNA methyl-transferase (MGMT) methylated patients or radiation therapy for MGMT unmethylated patients.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of DB107-RRV administered intracranially followed by intravenous (IV) DB107-RRV and DB107-FC (Phase I).

II. To determine the median progression-free survival (PFS) (informed by biomarker status, DGM7 and patient subsets to minimally include genomic profile and histology) of newly diagnosed HGG patients treated with DB107-RRV combined with DB107-FC delivered with standard of care following tumor resection (Phase IIa).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To confirm the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of DB107-RRV and DB107-FC when administered to newly diagnosed HGG patients (Phase I).

II. To evaluate radiographic response by Immunotherapy response assessment in neuro-oncology (iRANO) (Phase I).

III. To assess best overall response rates (complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), progressive disease (PD)) and overall response rate (CR and PR) of each arm and subset (Phase IIa).

IV. To assess the duration of response of each arm and subset (Phase IIa). V. To assess the median overall PFS and PFS at month 6 (PFS-6) for each arm and subset (Phase IIa).

VI. To assess the median overall survival of each arm and subset (Phase IIa). VII. To evaluate the safety of DB107-RRV administered intracranially followed by IV DB107-RRV and DB107-FC (Phase IIa).

OUTLINE:

Participants will initially be enrolled in Phase I and treated with DB107-RRV intracranially, at time of surgical resection, and intravenously within 8 hours following surgery. Pathology will be performed locally as per standard practice to confirm participant's HGG diagnosis and Isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) mutation status. Participants in Phase I will then be assigned to one of 2 cohorts: No MGMT methylation (MGMT unmethylated) which will receive DB107-FC and RT following DB107-RRV or Low-High MGMT methylated which will receive DB107-FC, Temozolomide (TMZ) and RT following DB107-RRV. The safety and tolerability will be examined for the Phase I participants and RP2D dose confirmed. New participants will then be enrolled in Phase IIa under the established RP2D determined in Phase I, with the first 2 participants receiving a safety run-in at the RP2D. Once participant safety and tolerability are confirmed, additional participants will be enrolled in the Phase IIa portion of the study. All participants who receive DB107-RRV and DB107-FC will be followed for up to15 years.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants with dose limiting toxicities (Phase I)

    Tolerability is defined as the proportion of participants receiving at least one dose of DB107-RRV and DB107-FC with a reported dose-limiting toxicity for all participants in Phase I.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year

  2. Proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events (Phase I)

    Safety is defined as the proportion of participants with treatment-emergent adverse events as classified by the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MEDDRA) preferred terms and graded for severity according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 for participants in Phase 1.

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

  3. Median Progression free survival (PFS) by biomarker status (Phase IIa)

    PFS is defined as time from first receipt of DB107-RRV until progression or death, whichever occurs first for newly diagnosed HGG patients with unmethylated MGMT and methylated MGMT. Participants without an event will be censored at the last disease assessment. PFS (months) = (earlier date of documentation of progression of disease or death/censored - date of first dose of DB107-RRV+1) (365.25/12) using Immunotherapy Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (iRANO) criteria to determine disease status. The median and the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: Up to 3 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) (Phase I)

    The confirmed RP2D of DB107-RRV and DB107-FC implemented for participants enrolled in Phase IIa will be reported.

    Time frame: Up to 1 year

  2. Overall Response Rate (ORR) (Phase IIa)

    ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects who obtained either a disease status of CR or PR according to iRANO criteria per investigator.

    Time frame: Up to 5 years

  3. Median Progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (Phase IIa)

    PFS is defined as time from first receipt of DB107-RRV until progression or death, whichever occurs first at the 6-month visit. Participants without an event will be censored at the last disease assessment. PFS (months) = (earlier date of documentation of progression of disease or death/censored - date of first dose of DB107-RRV+1) (365.25/12) using Immunotherapy Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (iRANO) criteria to determine disease status. The median and the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: Up to 6 months

  4. Median Progression-free survival (PFS) (Phase IIa)

    PFS is defined as time from first receipt of DB107-RRV until progression or death, whichever occurs first at the 6-month visit. Participants without an event will be censored at the last disease assessment. PFS (months) = (earlier date of documentation of progression of disease or death/censored - date of first dose of DB107-RRV+1) (365.25/12) using Immunotherapy Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (iRANO) criteria to determine disease status. The median and the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: 6 months

  5. Median Overall Survival (OS) at 6 months (Phase IIa)

    Overall survival at 6 months is defined as the time from the date of first DB107-RRV injection until death. Participants who are alive at 6 months will be censored. The median and the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: 6 months

  6. Median Overall Survival (OS) (Phase IIa)

    Overall survival will be analyzed using the date of first DB107-RRV injection as baseline until death, participant withdrawal, or study closure. The median and the 95% confidence interval will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Time frame: Up to 15 years
