Summary

This single-arm phase II study will assess the impact of tetanus pre-conditioning and adjuvant Granulocyte Macrophage Colony Stimulating Factor (GM-CSF) on overall survival of patients newly diagnosed with World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV glioblastoma who have undergone definitive tumor resection, are cytomegalovirus (CMV) positive and unmethylated, and completed standard temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation treatment. After completion of the standard of care radiotherapy with concurrent TMZ, patients will receive 1 cycle of dose-intensified TMZ followed by pp65-loaded dendritic cell (DC) vaccination beginning on day 23.

Group I: DC vaccination with Td preconditioning and GM CSFExperimental Treatment5 Interventions
This single-arm phase II study will assess the impact of tetanus pre-conditioning and adjuvant GM-CSF on overall survival of newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients who have undergone definitive resection, are unmethylated, and completed standard temozolomide and radiation treatment. All enrolled patients will undergo a leukapheresis for the generation of DCs. Patients will then receive approximately 6 weeks of standard of care radiation therapy (RT) and concurrent TMZ. A single post-RT cycle of dose intensified TMZ (100 mg/m2/day for 21 days) will then be given. On day 23 (± 2 days) of the cycle, patients will receive the first of 3 pp65 DC vaccines every 2 weeks. All patients will receive up to a total of 10 DC vaccines
