Brief Title: Phase I Study of Safety and Immunogenicity of ADU-623
Official Title: Phase I Study of Safety and Immunogenicity of ADU-623, a Live-attenuated Listeria Monocytogenes Strain (ΔactA/ΔinlB) Expressing the EGFRvIII-NY-ESO-1 Vaccine, in Patients With Treated and Recurrent WHO Grade III/IV Astrocytomas
Study ID: NCT01967758
Brief Summary: This is a study for patients with brain tumors called astrocytic tumors. The study will enroll patients who have received standard treatment. The study will test a vaccine called ADU-623. ADU-623 has not been tested in humans before, so the goal of this study is to see if ADU-623 can be given safely to brain cancer patients and what is the better dose to give patients among the three doses that planned to be tested. This study will also evaluate the length of time before patients' cancer worsens and if ADU-623 helps patients to live longer. The study will also measure the body's immune system response to ADU-623.
Detailed Description: This Phase I clinical trial will examine the safety, tolerability and immunogenicity of a novel vaccine approach using a live-attenuated strain of Listeria monocytogenes expressing EGFRvIII and NY-ESO-1 antigens to induce proliferation of memory and effector T cells with the overall goal of promoting an immune response against high-grade astrocytic tumors.
