GMCI Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 2: MGMT Methylated & undetermined PatientsExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
After confirmation of high grade glioma, AdV-tk injection into wall of resection cavity. Valacyclovir starting 1-3 days post-surgery for 14 days. Radiation begins approximately day 8. Temozolomide started after complete valacyclovir and continue during radiation then 5 week break and then begin adjuvant temozolomide dosing. Nivolumab every 2 weeks x 26 doses up to 52 weeks. MRI every 8 weeks until progression.
Group II: Cohort 1: MGMT Unmethylated PatientsExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
After confirmation of high grade glioma, AdV-tk injection into wall of resection cavity. Valacyclovir starting 1-3 days post-surgery for 14 days. Radiation begins approximately day 8 and continues for 6 weeks. Temozolomide started after complete valacyclovir and stop when MGMT unmethylated result obtained. Nivolumab every 2 weeks x 26 doses up to 52 weeks. MRI every 8 weeks until progression.
