Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a randomized, parallel-arm, phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of B7-H3 CAR-T in between Temozolomide cycles comparing to Temozolomide alone in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back or does not respond to the standard treatment. The antigen B7-H3 is highly expressed in glioblastoma of a subset of patients. B7-H3 CAR-T, made from isolated patient peripheral blood mononuclear cells, can specifically attack patient glioblastoma cells that expressing B7-H3.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background

* B7-H3 is expressed in 70% of patients with glioblastoma
* B7-H3 is not expressed in normal tissues especially not in central nervous system. Therefore, it is an attractive GBM target for CAR-T therapy
* The investigators constructed a retroviral vector encoding a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) targeting B7-H3, which can mediate CAR transfer into patient T cells with high efficiency.

Objectives

* To evaluate the safety and tolerability intratumoral/intracerebroventricular injection of B7-H3 CAR-T when used in between Temozolomide cycles
* To compare the overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) of R/R GBM patients treated with B7-H3 CAR-T in between Temozolomide cycles vs Temozolomide alone
* To access the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of B7-H3 CAR-T in between Temozolomide cycles

Design

* Experimental group: Patients autologous T cells are activated and transduced with retrovirus containing B7-H3 CAR. CAR-T cells are expanded ex vivo and infused back to patients via intratumoral or intracerebroventricular injection through an Ommaya catheter. 3 injections of CAR-T are planned at two different doses with 1-2 weeks intervals. The CAR-T injections occur in between Temozolomide (TMZ) cycles. Temozolomide treatment during the cycles of CAR-T injections will be stopped and resumed next cycle. Patients may receive additional CAR-T cycles at the discretion of the principal investigator and oncologist.
* Control group: Patients will receive regular cycles of Temozolomide treatment with 5 days of treatment and 23 days of interval.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Temozolomide alone

Temozolomide will be given to patients orally every 5 days with 23 days interval. The initial dose is 150 mg/m2 on the first day and 200 mg/m2 for the rest if no toxicity is seen. If 200 mg/m2 is toxic, the drug will return to 150 mg/m2 or will be stopped.

Temozolomide

Intervention Type DRUG

Temozolomide is an FDA-approved drug that is given to patients

Temozolomide + B7-H3 CAR-T

Temozolomide will be given to patients orally every 5 days with 23 days interval. The initial dose is 150 mg/m2 on the first day and 200 mg/m2 for the rest if no toxicity is seen. If 200 mg/m2 is toxic, the drug will return to 150 mg/m2 or will be stopped.

The B7-H3 CAR-T will be administrated via intratumoral or Intracerebroventricular injection through an Ommaya catheter in between Temozolomide cycles. Temozolomide treatment in the cycles of B7-H3 CAR-T treatment will be stopped.
