Phase 1
Recruiting
Led By Daniel Landi, MD
Research Sponsored by Annick Desjardins, MD
Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial Must have
Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥ 70%
At the time of biopsy, prior to administration of D2C7-IT, the presence of recurrent tumor must be confirmed by histopathological analysis
Must not have
Patients with worsening steroid myopathy (history of gradual progression of bilateral proximal muscle weakness, and atrophy of proximal muscle groups)
Patients with known lung (forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (FEV1) < 50%) disease or uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
Timeline
Screening 3 weeks
Treatment Varies
Follow Up 28 days after catheter removal
Awards & highlights
No Placebo-Only Group
Summary
This trial is testing a new drug combination for brain cancer.
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with recurrent high-grade malignant glioma confirmed by biopsy, able to undergo MRI, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. They must have a good performance status (able to care for themselves), adequate blood counts, normal liver function tests, and agree to use effective contraception if of childbearing potential. Excluded are those with severe medical conditions like active infections or heart disease, recent chemotherapy or immunotherapy within specific time frames, certain prior cancers, autoimmune diseases requiring treatment in the past 3 months, and excessive steroid use.
What is being tested?
This phase 1 trial is testing a combination of an anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody called 2141-V11 and D2C7-IT in patients who have had their brain tumor come back after initial treatment. The study aims to evaluate the safety of this combo therapy at Duke's Brain Tumor Center.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include allergic reactions due to antibodies (like fever or chills), issues from immune system activation such as inflammation in different body parts including organs like lungs or liver; fatigue; changes in blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk; bleeding complications; muscle weakness especially if on steroids.
