About this study

Official title: A Phase I-II Study of Allogeneic CMV Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) for Patients With Refractory Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

The primary purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of the infusion of partially matched, allogeneic, CMV specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) for patients with GBM that have failed primary therapy.

Read the detailed description

Tumor specimens of consenting patients will be tested by immunohistochemistry (IHC) for the presence of IE-1 and/or pp65. Subjects whose tumors test positive for either or both CMV antigens will be consented for the treatment phase which will include a regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide daily for two days, cyclophosphamide only for a third day, followed by one day of rest prior to the day of CTL infusion.

This trial intended to be a Phase 1/2 trial, but it never progressed to Phase 2 before termination.

Being tested
Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, CMV Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine the incidence of tumor responses, as defined as stable disease, partial, or complete responses after the infusion of CMV CTL.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. To determine the duration and magnitude of donor chimerism post infusion by micro chimerism assays.

    Measured: 2 years

  2. To determine the incidence of increases in CMV pp65 or IE-1 T cells post infusion of allogeneic CMV CTL of GBM patients.

    Measured: 2 years

  3. To determine safety of allogeneic CTL infusions in this patient population.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide and CMV Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) in people with Glioblastoma Multiforme, run by Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Accrual goals not met). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine the incidence of tumor responses, as defined as stable disease, partial, or complete responses after the infusion of CMV CTL. (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2018.
