A Study of ICT-107 Immunotherapy in Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)

Summary

This is a phase 2, multicenter study to determine the safety and efficacy of ICT-107 in treating a type of brain tumor called Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM). ICT-107 is an immunotherapy in which the patient's immune response will be stimulated to kill the tumor cells. Patients must be newly diagnosed with GBM and not yet received chemoradiation. Some of the patient's white blood cells (WBC) will be removed and cultured in a laboratory with purified antigens, similar to those on GBM cells. The patient's own WBC/DC that have been exposed to the tumor antigens will then be given back to the patient as a vaccine over several months. The goal is for the ICT-107 vaccine to stimulate the patient's immune response to kill the remaining GBM tumor cells after surgery and chemotherapy.
