Summary
This trial tests a therapy combo for recurrent brain tumors to find the best dose to use.
Who is the study for?
Adults with recurrent high-grade astrocytoma eligible for tumor resection, not previously treated with certain gene/immunotherapies or implants. Must have good organ function, no immune disorders, and agree to birth control. Excludes those with serious illnesses that could interfere with the trial, pregnant/lactating women, allergy to protocol products, impaired immunity, inability to undergo MRI, acute infections or liver disease.
What is being tested?
The study tests a maximum tolerated dose of Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus combined with fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery in patients undergoing surgery for recurrent high-grade astrocytoma. It's a Phase I trial focused on safety and dosage levels.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include typical reactions related to gene therapy such as flu-like symptoms (fever, fatigue), injection site pain/swelling/redness; complications from radiosurgery like headaches or nausea; and risks associated with brain surgery.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus and fSRS ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Subjects will receive a single intratumoral injection of the Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus at one of three dose levels beginning at 1 x 1011 vp and escalating in half-log (3-fold) increments to 1 x 1012 vp, along with the same dose of fractionated stereotactic radiosurgery until unacceptable toxicity, disease progression, or withdrawal of consent.
