About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of the Anti-GITR Agonist INCAGN1876 and the PD-1 Inhibitor INCMGA00012 in Combination With Stereotactic Radiosurgery in Recurrent Glioblastoma

This is a phase II study of the combination of the GITR agonist monoclonal antibody INCAGN01876, the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody INCMGA00012, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM). The investigators hypothesize that the proposed regimen will be safe and stimulate a robust anti-tumor immune response and result in improved tumor responses.

Read the detailed description

The study has 2 arms:

Arm A (Cohort A) is a nonsurgical arm (N=16) that will serve as the primary study cohort and evaluated for the primary study endpoint. Subjects in this arm receive a single priming dose of both INCMGA00012 and INCAGN01876 prior to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), then undergo SRS (8 Gy x 3 fractions). Following SRS, INCMGA00012 (IV every 4 weeks) and INCAGN01876 (IV every 2 weeks) are resumed and continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for 2 years, whichever occurs first.

Arm B (Cohort B) is a surgical arm (N=16) that will allow for evaluation of the effects on the tumor immune microenvironment of INCMGA00012, INCAGN01876, and SRS. In order to be enrolled on this arm, subjects must have a clinical indication for surgical resection of the recurrent GBM tumor. Prior to planned surgical resection, subjects receive neoadjuvant immunotherapy (one of two possible combinations, as outlined below). Subjects then undergo surgery. Postoperatively, the immunotherapy combination of INCMGA00012 (IV every 4 weeks) and INCAGN01876 (IV every 2 weeks) is resumed and continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or for 2 years, whichever occurs first. Subjects in the surgical arm with a focus of contrast-enhancing tumor that is amenable to SRS will be assigned to surgical sub-arm #1 of Cohort B (N=8). These subjects will receive neoadjuvant INCMGA00012 + INCAGN01876 + SRS. All other subjects enrolled on Cohort B (N=8) are treated with neoadjvuant INCMGA00012 + INCAGN01876 (without SRS).

What is being measured

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

  1. Objective Radiographic Response (ORR)

    Per modified response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), >=50% decrease in the sum of the products of the perpendicular diameters of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR.

    Measured: 26 months

Secondary outcomes (3)

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events as Assessed by NCI CTCAE v 5.0

    Adverse events will be evaluated by monitoring frequency, duration, and severity of adverse events (AEs) per NCI CTCAE v 5.0

    Measured: 25 months

  2. Overall Survival

    OS, defined as the time from date of enrollment until death from any cause

    Measured: 84 months

  3. Progression Free Survival

    PFS, defined as the time from date of enrollment until the earliest date of disease progression (as determined by modified RANO criteria) or death due to any cause

    Measured: 84 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing INCMGA00012, INCAGN01876 and SRS in people with Glioblastoma, run by University of Pennsylvania at 1 site in United States.

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 42 inclusion and 25 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Sep 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Objective Radiographic Response (ORR) (time frame: 26 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04225039.

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 23 Jun 2026.
