Purpose

This is a phase I trial using EGFR Bi-armed Activated T-cells (BATs) in combination with standard of care temozolomide (TMZ) and radiation (RT) in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). The purpose of the study is to determine a safe dose of EGFR BATs when given with standard of care therapy.

Detailed Description

      In addition to finding the safe dose of EGFR BATs, immune evaluations will be performed as
      delineated in the schedule of events to measure immune responses during all stages of
      treatment for GBM.

Main StudyExperimentalStudy participants will have cells collected by leukapheresis prior to initiating standard concurrent RT and TMZ. Participants will receive the first and second infusions of EGFR BATs on days 14 and 21 after finishing concurrent RT and TMZ and then receive an infusion on day 21 of the first six cycles of TMZ.
  • EGFR BATs with TMZ following SOC RT/TMZ
Subcohort for MGMT unmethylated patientsExperimentalStudy participants will have cells collected by leukapheresis prior to initiating standard concurrent RT and TMZ. About 4 weeks after completion of RT/TMZ, participants will receive 8 weekly doses of EGFR BATs.
  • Weekly EGFR BATs following SOC RT/TMZ

             to protocol entry):

             and/or evidence of depressed left ventricular function (LVEF < 45% by MUGA or ECHO).

             There is clinical evidence of congestive heart failure requiring medical management
             (irrespective of MUGA or ECHO results).

          8. Has Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) (HIV 1/2 antibodies) or known active Hepatitis
             B (e.g., HBsAg reactive) or Hepatitis C (e.g., HCV RNA [qualitative] is detected).

         12. Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality
             that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the subject's
             participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of
             the subject to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.

         13. A patient may be excluded if, in the opinion of the treating clinician, the patient is
             not capable of being compliant.
