Brief Title: A Study Using Allogenic-Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Specific Cells for Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
Official Title: A Phase I-II Study of Allogeneic CMV Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) for Patients With Refractory Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM)
Study ID: NCT00990496
Brief Summary: 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.
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.
