Brief Summary

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

The purposes of the research trial are to study the safety of ABY-029 and to understand how much of the drug is needed to reach brain tumors so it can be visualized best by surgeons. Investigators will do this by comparing two groups of participants that receive different, very small amounts of ABY-029. Investigators will use an imaging system during surgery to record the amount of ABY-029 in the participant's tumor and in the surrounding tissue.

Study Design

Understand how the trial is structured, including allocation methods, masking strategies, primary purpose, and other design elements.

Allocation Method

NON_RANDOMIZED

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

Sixteen participants with EGFR-positive tumors will be enrolled, alternating between two ABY-029 administration doses (the 6X dose and 10X dose), until eight participants with EGFR-positive tumors have been enrolled at each dose group. Because some participants may have EGFR-negative tumors, it may be necessary to enroll up to 33 participants before the target enrollment (eight participants with EGFR-positive tumors at each of two ABY-029 doses) is met.

Study Groups

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

ABY-029 6X dose group

ABY-029 will be administered at the 6X dose level prior to surgery to participants with presumed high-grade glioma, based on a preoperative MRI or other imaging. Investigators will collect one blood sample before participants are given ABY-029, a second sample one or two minutes after participants are given the drug, a third sample about 15 minutes after participants are given the drug, and a fourth sample about an hour after receiving the drug, or just prior to anesthesia (whichever comes first). Investigators will collect one urine sample and take EKG readings to monitor the participant's heart before surgery. Investigators will repeat blood, urine and EKG tests when participants are in the hospital after surgery.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ABY-029

Intervention Type DRUG

ABY-029 will be administered via single intravenous injection to subjects with high-grade glioma approximately 1-3 hours prior to surgery.

All research procedures will occur during surgery. The research procedures involve image and measurement data collection and biopsy specimen sampling. Research data collection will occur at 3 or 4 time points during surgery using either standard-of-care tools and methods or non-significant risk experimental devices.

No follow-up visit will be required of participants. Participants will be monitored for possible adverse events for approximately 30 days by the operating surgeon involved in the clinical trial procedures and through review of participant medical records.

ABY-029 10X dose group

ABY-029 will be administered at the 10X dose level prior to surgery to participants with presumed high-grade glioma, based on a preoperative MRI or other imaging. Investigators will collect one blood sample before participants are given ABY-029, a second sample one or two minutes after participants are given the drug, a third sample about 15 minutes after participants are given the drug, and a fourth sample about an hour after receiving the drug, or just prior to anesthesia (whichever comes first). Investigators will collect one urine sample and take EKG readings to monitor the participant's heart before surgery.
