Purpose

This study evaluates the safety of PVSRIPO treatment in combination with Atezolizumab in patients with WHO grade IV malignant glioma. All patients will receive a single PVSRIPO infusion followed by atezolizumab infusions every three weeks for up to two years.

Detailed Description

      The purpose of this phase1b/2 study of atezolizumab in combination with oncolytic
      polio/rhinovirus recombinant (PVSRIPO) in patients with recurrent World Health Organization
      (WHO) grade IV malignant glioma is to assess the safety of the combination of PVSRIPO +
      atezolizumab, as well as describe the survival of patients receiving this novel therapy
      combination. Patients will receive an intratumoral infusion of PVSRIPO followed by
      atezolizumab treatment with possible surgical resection after the first atezolizumab
      treatment at the discretion of the treating neurosurgeon.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Patients must have a recurrent supratentorial WHO grade IV malignant glioma based on
             imaging studies with measurable disease (≥ 1 cm and ≤ 5.5 cm of contrast-enhancing
             tumor). Prior histopathology consistent with a WHO grade IV malignant glioma confirmed
             by the study pathologist, Roger McLendon, or his designate. Assuming patient meets all
             other criteria, the treating neurosurgeon must confirm placement of infusion catheter
             tip can occur ≥ 1cm from ventricles and that procedures can be completed per their
             medical judgement and in keeping with the protocol, when considering individual lesion
             characteristics including location relative to eloquent brain function.

          -  Patient or partner(s) meets one of the following criteria:

               1. Non-childbearing potential (i.e. not sexually active, physiologically incapable
                  of becoming pregnant, including any female who is post-menopausal or surgically
                  sterile, or any male who has had a vasectomy). Surgically sterile females are
                  defined as those with a documented hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy or
                  tubal ligation. Postmenopausal for purposes of this study is defined as 1 year
                  without menses.; or

               2. Childbearing potential and agrees to use one of the following methods of birth
                  control: approved hormonal contraceptives (e.g. birth control pills, patches,
                  implants, or infusions), an intrauterine device, or a barrier method of
                  contraception (e.g. a condom or diaphragm) used with spermicide.

          -  Age ≥ 18 years of age at the time of entry into the study

          -  Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) ≥ 70%

          -  Prothrombin and Partial Thromboplastin Times ≤ 1.2 x normal prior to biopsy

             pyruvic transaminase (SGPT), alkaline phosphatase ≤ 2.5 x normal prior to biopsy

          -  Neutrophil count ≥ 1000 prior to biopsy

          -  Hemoglobin ≥ 9 prior to biopsy

          -  Platelet count ≥ 100,000/µl unsupported is necessary for eligibility on the study;
             however, because of risks of intracranial hemorrhage with catheter placement, platelet
             count ≥ 120,000/µl is required for the patient to undergo biopsy and catheter
             insertion, which can be attained with the help of platelet transfusion

          -  Creatinine ≤ 1.2 x normal range prior to biopsy

          -  Positive serum anti-poliovirus titer prior to biopsy

          -  The patient must have received a boost immunization with trivalent inactivated IPOL™
             (Sanofi-Pasteur) at least 1 week, but less than 6 weeks, prior to administration of
             the study agent

          -  At the time of biopsy, prior to administration of virus, the presence of recurrent
             tumor must be confirmed by histopathological analysis

          -  A signed informed consent form approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) will
             be required for patient enrollment into the study. Patients must be able to read and
             understand the informed consent document and must sign the informed consent indicating
             that they are aware of the investigational nature of this study

             within the past 3 months

        NOTE: If a patient is treated for an unrelated malignancy other than the exceptions noted
        within the past 3 years, a letter from their treating oncologist for the unrelated
        malignancy must be on file confirming that said unrelated malignancy does not require
        current active treatment (prophylactic like tamoxifen OK) and that the patient is stable
        with low risk of recurrence/death within 3 years from this other malignancy (i.e., disease
        is stable). If this letter is not on file, a consult with the Sponsor's medical designee is
