E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To determine the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma when autologous Wilms' tumor 1 mRNA-loaded dendritic-cell vaccination is added to adjuvant temozolomide maintenance treatment following (sub)total resection and temozolomide-based chemoradiation. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and immunogenicity of combining autologous dendritic-cell vaccination with standard adjuvant treatment of patients with newly diagnosed glioblastoma following (sub)total resection and temozolomide-based chemoradiation. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
- Newly diagnosed, histologically verified glioblastoma (WHO grade IV) - Aged ≥ 18 years - Total or subtotal resection - Total resection: macroscopic complete resection as assessed by the neurosurgeon and absence of any residual contrast-enhancing mass on post-operative (≤ 72h) brain MRI - Subtotal resection: macroscopic complete resection as assessed by the neurosurgeon, but with residual contrast-enhancement ≤ 2 cm³ on post-operative (≤ 72h) brain MRI - Signed informed consent - Willing and able to comply with the protocol as judged by the Investigator - Estimated to start with chemoradiation ≥ 28 days and ≤ 49 days following surgical resection - Fit to undergo: leukapheresis, chemoradiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy - No corticosteroid treatment ≤ 1 week before apheresis - WHO performance status ≤ 2 - Life expectancy ≥ 3 months as estimated by the Investigator |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- History of another malignancy, except for adequately controlled basal cell skin carcinoma, squamous skin carcinoma, or carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix or unless the investigator rationalizes otherwise - Prior radiation or chemotherapy - Any pre-existing contraindication for temozolomide treatment - Any pre-existing contraindication for contrast-enhanced brain MRI - Pregnant or breast-feeding - Documented immune deficiency or systemic immune-suppressive treatment - Known positive viral serology for HIV, HBV, HCV, or syphilis - Any other condition, either physical or psychological, or reasonable suspicion thereof on clinical or special investigation, which contraindicates the use of the vaccine, or may negatively affect patient compliance, or may place the patient at higher risk of potential treatment complications |
|
E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). - OS will be determined in the efficacy evaluable population and is defined as the time between surgery and death due to any cause. - PFS will be determined in the efficacy evaluable population and is defined as the time between surgery and the date of progression (recurrence in the case of total resection) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
- A first analysis will be done when 10 patients have survived 15 months after apheresis. - A second analysis will be done when all patients have reached an event (death) or 15 months after apheresis. - A third analysis will be done at end of study. After end of study, the Sponsor has the right to update the OS and PSF data in compliance with the informed consent.
At the time of analysis, patients without a recorded event will be censored, for OS, at the time they were last known to be alive or, for PFS, at the time of the last objective disease assessment. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Feasibility, safety, and immunogenicity. - Feasibility will be assessed based on o Number of patients in the intention-to-treat (ITT) population that had a successful leukapheresis o Number of patients in the ITT population that had production of qualified (phenotypic and functional requirements) vaccines o Number of efficacy evaluable patients in the ITT population o Number of patients that had 3 weekly (± 1 day) DC vaccines administered following adjuvant chemoradiation (induction phase) and additional DC vaccination at day 21 (± 3 days) of each maintenance chemotherapy cycle (booster phase) in the ITT population
- Safety will be assessed based on adverse event frequency (scored according to the latest version of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events) in the safety population.
- Immunogenicity will be assessed based on ex vivo immune responses of all patients of the immunogenicity population. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Different analysis time points: - A first analysis will be done when 10 patients have survived 15 months after apheresis. - A second analysis will be done when all patients have reached an event (death) or 15 months after apheresis. Final analysis for feasibility and immunogenicity will be done at this time, safety data will be reevaluated. - A third analysis will be done at end of study. Final analysis for safety will be done at this time.
