BACKGOUND Ofranergene obadenovec (VB-111) is a targeted anti-cancer viral based gene therapy with a dual mechanism: a broad antiangiogenic effect and induction of a tumor directed immune response. Previous study demonstrated a survival benefit for patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM) treated with VB-111 monotherapy that was continued upon progression with combination treatment of VB-111 and bevacizumab. Glioblastoma is an immunologically “cold” microenvironment which fosters immunosuppression and antagonizes anti-tumor immune responses. The role of T-cell infiltration in combating cancer has been increasingly recognized and associated with improved participant outcomes. Based on these observations, this study will assess the hypothesis that neoadjuvant use of VB-111 will lead to a statistically significant increase in tumor infiltrating T lymphocyte (TIL) density within the tumor and enhanced systemic tumor-specific T cell responses. METHODS This is a multicenter, randomized, blinded, placebo-controlled, phase 2 surgical trial to evaluate early immunologic pharmacodynamic parameters for the viral cancer therapy VB-111 in rGBM. 45 participants with rGBM indicated for resection will randomized to one of three treatment arms: Neoadjuvant Arm: intravenous VB-111 prior to resection, and VB-111 every 6 weeks after resection. Adjuvant Arm: placebo prior to resection, and VB-111 every 6 weeks afterwards. The control arm will receive placebo prior to resection followed by standard of care. Upon evidence of contrast-enhancing progression, bevacizumab may be initiated as needed for supportive care and VB-111 will continue until progression is supported at two consecutive time points. Tumor samples will be obtained and archived at the time of surgery, and blood samples will be obtained as pharmacodynamic markers throughout the study to allow DNA sequencing of T cells. The primary endpoint is influence of neoadjuvant VB-111 on TIL density. Other endpoints include safety and tolerability, peripheral T cell response, tumor/microenvironment transcriptomic alteration, and PFS/OS. Study will open for enrolment in 2019.
