Popis: 3040 Background: Interleukin-12 (IL-12), a master regulator of the immune system, results in anti-tumor responses in preclinical models, but safe use requires tightly controlled production. This phase 1 trial (NCT02026271) is the first to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ad-RTS-hIL-12 (Ad) under transcriptional control with veledimex (V) in adults with grade III or IV gliomas. Methods: Multicenter, phase 1, open-label, 3 + 3 dose escalation study of Ad (a single intratumoral injection, 2 × 1011 viral particles, Day 0) with oral V dosing (Days 0 to 14) of 10, 20, 30, and 40 mg in subjects with rGBM. Results: 38 subjects were treated (resection group: V 10 mg (n = 6); 20 mg (n = 15); 30 mg (n = 4); 40 mg (n = 6); and, stereotactic group: V 20 mg, n = 7). The adverse event profile of Ad+ V, was predictable and controllable, with the main adverse reactions (ARs) being mild to moderate. All ARs were manageable and reversible upon withholding V. We observed increased peak (mean ± SEM) serum recombinant IL-12 and downstream endogenous IFN-g: V 10mg 21.4 ± 11.7 pg/mL and 14.6 ± 7.1 pg/mL; V 20 mg 25.8 ± 7.1 pg/mL and 57.0 ± 26.5 pg/mL; V 30 mg 65.7 ± 45.5 pg/mL and 60.7 ± 50.0 pg/mL; V 40mg 108.8 ± 41.0 pg/mL and 167.5 ± 70.9 pg/mL, V 20mg (stereotactic) 25.1 ± 7.2 pg/mL and 69.8 ± 48.5 pg/mL, respectively. In the V 20 mg cohort , there was an increase in tumor-associated T cells (CD3+CD8+%) from pre-Ad (mean ± SEM) 0.6 ± 0.4 to biopsy (~5 mons) 6.3 ± 5.0 and production of IFN-g 97.2 ± 85.3 pg/g (n = 2). Median overall survival (mOS) in the V 20 mg cohort (resection, n = 15) was 12.7 mons (mean follow-up, 13.1 mons). Subjects with unifocal disease (n = 6) who received low-dose (≤ 20mg total) dexamethasone during active dosing (Days 0-14) had an mOS of 17.8 mons. Tumor response data will be presented. Conclusions: Results of Controlled IL-12 in rGBM are promising, with V-dependent and proportional increases in IL-12 and IFN-g resulting in immune activation, with a favorable safety profile and encouraging survival. The 20 mg V dose is the recommended phase 2 dose. Controlled IL-12 is being evaluated in a monotherapy substudy (n = 36, V 20 mg) and two combination studies with immune checkpoint inhibitors for rGBM. Clinical trial information: NCT02026271 .
