DB107-RRV Alone at Resection and then in Combination with DB107-FC and Standard of Care for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed IDH-mutant Astrocytoma and IDH-wildtype Glioblastoma
Trial Status: active
This phase I/IIa trial tests how well retroviral replicating vector containing modified yeast cytosine deaminase transgene (DB107-RRV) given at time of resection and then in combination with flucytosine extended-release tablets, 5-fluorocytosine, 5-FC, 5-FC XR (DB107-FC) and standard of care (SOC) radiation therapy and temozolomide in treating patients with newly diagnosed isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-mutant astrocytoma and IDH-wildtype glioblastoma. DB107-RRV is a live virus that has been built to carry a gene into tumor cells in a process called gene transfer. Genes are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and serve as the instruction book for the cells in the body. The gene inside of DB107-RRV carries instructions that cause the tumor cells to turn a medication called 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) into a chemotherapy medication called fluorouracil (5-FU). DB107-FC is a drug containing 5-FC. 5-FC is a type of anti-fungal medication. Tumor cells that have the gene from DB107-RRV inside them may turn 5-FC into 5-FU and may kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill tumor cells and slow down or stop tumor growth. Giving DB107-RRV at time of resection and then in combination with DB107-FC and SOC radiation therapy and temozolomide may kill more tumor cells in patients with newly diagnosed IDH-mutant astrocytomas and IDH-wildtype glioblastomas.

OUTLINE: Patients receive DB107-RRV intracranially over approximately 10 seconds at time of surgical resection then IV in the operating room immediately following resection. Patients are then assigned to 1 of 2 treatment groups based on MGMT methylation.
GROUP I (NO MGMT METHYLATION):
STUDY TREATMENT: Starting no later than 6 weeks after surgical resection, patients undergo SOC radiation therapy on Monday-Friday for 6 weeks per standard of care and receive DB107-FC orally (PO) on 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) during weeks 1-2 and weeks 5-6. After the conclusion of radiation therapy, patients receive DB107-RRV IV on days 7 and 14 during rest period.
ADJUVANT THERAPY: Patients receive DB107-FC PO on days 1-5 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with no disease progression after 6 cycles may continue to receive additional cycles until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (GdMRI) throughout the study.
GROUP II (LOW MGMT TO HIGH METHYLATION):
STUDY TREATMENT: Starting no later than 6 weeks after surgical resection, patients receive DB107-FC PO over 5 consecutive days (Monday-Friday) during weeks 1-2 and weeks 5-6. Patients receive temozolomide PO while undergoing radiation therapy Monday-Friday for 6 weeks per SOC. After the conclusion of radiation therapy, patients receive DB107-RRV IV on days 7 and 14 during rest period.
ADJUVANT THERAPY: Patients receive DB107-FC PO on days 1-5 of each cycle and SOC temozolomide PO on days 1-5 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with no disease progression after 6 cycles may continue to receive additional cycles of DB107-FC until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection and GdMRI throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed within 15 days, yearly for 5 years then for up to 10 years.
