Summary

This study tests a mix of immune-boosting drugs, natural killer cells, and a device that sends low-intensity electric fields to the brain for people with glioblastoma that has come back after initial treatment. The trial has two parts: first, everyone gets the drug combo; second, participants are split into two groups, one adding the electric field device. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and can control the tumor.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N-803), PD-L1 t-haNK cells, bevacizumab, and tumor treating fields (TTFields)
What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for people with recurrent glioblastoma, potentially slowing tumor growth and extending survival.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial with only 34 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The combination therapy may cause serious side effects, and it is not yet known if it works better than standard treatments.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels \> 2.5 × ULN (\> 5 × ULN in subjects with liver metastases, or \> 10 × ULN in subjects with bone metastases). 7. Serum creatinine \> 2.0 mg/dL or 177 µmol/L. 8. Albumin \< 3.0 g/dL. Note: Each study site should use its institutional Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) to determine eligibility. 16. Clinically significant (ie, active) cardiovascular disease or myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first study medication; unstable angina; congestive heart failure of New York Heart Association grade 2 or higher; or serious cardiac arrhythmia. Subjects with uncontrolled hypertension should be medically managed on a stable regimen to control hypertension prior to study entry. 17.

Progressive or recurrent disease will be confirmed (ie, contrast enhanced magnetic resonance imaging \[MRI\] performed within 4 weeks prior to study treatment per RANO v02 criteria or diagnostic biopsy), or progression that does not meet RANO v02 criteria if the disease progression is otherwise obvious in the opinion of the Investigator and is discussed with the Medical Monitor. Participants must be a minimum of 3 months from the completion of radiotherapy to distinguish true progression from pseudoprogression. 5. Previous first-line treatment with at least radiotherapy and temozolomide. 6. Have received and recovered from standard treatments. At least 4 weeks since any cytotoxic chemotherapy (eg, temozolomide/nitrosoureas), 28 days since any investigational agent, and 6 to 12 weeks since radiation before starting study drug(s). 7.
