Clinical Trial Summary

This is a phase 1b study to evaluate the safety of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells with a chlorotoxin tumor-targeting domain (ie, CHM-1101, the study treatment) to determine the best dose of CHM-1101, and to assess the effectiveness of CHM-1101 in treating MMP2+ glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent) or that is growing, spreading, or getting worse (progressive).

Description:

This is a phase 1b, multicenter, feasibility/safety study of the dual delivery (administered through both intracavitary/intratumoral [ICT] and intraventricular [ICV] catheters) of CHM-1101, an autologous chlorotoxin-chimeric antigen receptor (CLTX-CAR) cell product, in participants with recurrent or progressive GBM. The investigational product is identified as CHM-1101 (CLTX(EQ)28ζ/CD19t+ CAR T cells).

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE

• To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for dual ICT and ICV delivery of CHM-1101 in participants with MMP2+ recurrent or progressive GBM.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES

• To assess the feasibility and safety of dual delivery of CHM-1101.

• To describe the persistence, expansion, immunogenicity, and phenotype of CHM-1101 and endogenous cells tumor cyst fluid (TCF), peripheral blood (PB), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

• In participants who receive at least 2 of the 3 planned doses of CHM-1101 in Cycle 1:

• Estimate the progression-free survival (PFS) rates

• Estimate the overall survival (OS) rates

• To evaluate the disease response rate.

Recruitment information / eligibility

• Status: Recruiting
• Enrollment: 42
• Est. completion date: January 2041
• Est. primary completion date: October 2024
• Accepts healthy volunteers: No
• Gender: All
• Age group: 18 Years and older

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

• Documented informed consent of the subject and/or legally authorized representative.

• Agreement to allow the use of archival tissue from diagnostic tumor biopsies.

• Age 18 years and older.

• ECOG status of 0 or 1.

• Life expectancy =12 weeks.

• Subject has a prior histologically confirmed diagnosis of a grade 4 glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or a prior histologically confirmed diagnosis of a grade 2 or 3 malignant glioma and now has radiographic progression consistent with a grade 4 GBM (IDH wild type), grade 4 diffuse astrocytoma (IDH mutant), or has a unifocal relapse of GBM.

• Relapsed disease: radiographic evidence of recurrence/progression of measurable disease after standard therapy and = 12 weeks after completion of front-line radiation therapy.

• Confirmed MMP2+ tumor expression by IHC (=20% moderate/high MMP2 score [2+ or 3+]).

• Adequate venous access to perform leukapheresis.

• No known contraindications to leukapheresis or steroids.

• In-range baseline laboratory values for WBC (>2000/dL [or ANC =1000/mm^3]), platelets (=75000/mm^3), total bilirubin (=1.5xULN), AST (=2.5xULN), ALT (=2.5xULN), serum creatinine (=1.5xmg/dL), and oxygen saturation (=95% on room air)

• Seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by antigen/antibody (Ag/Ab) testing.

• Seronegative for hepatitis B and/or hepatitis C virus.

• Women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test is required.

• Agreement by women AND men of childbearing potential to use an effective method of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study through at least 3 months after the last dose of CHM-1101. (Childbearing potential is defined as not being surgically sterilized (women and men) or, for women, having not been free from menses for > 1 year.)

Exclusion Criteria:

• Within 3 months of having received prior bevacizumab therapy at the time of enrollment.

• Not yet recovered from toxicities of prior therapy.

• Uncontrolled seizure activity and/or clinically evident progressive encephalopathy.

• History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study agent.

• Clinically significant uncontrolled illness.

• Active infection requiring antibiotics.

• Known history of HIV or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.

• Other active malignancy.

• Women only-pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Any other condition that would, in the Investigator's judgment, contraindicate the subject's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures.

• Prospective subjects who, in the opinion of the Investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).
