Purpose

This is a phase II study of the combination of the GITR agonist monoclonal antibody INCAGN01876, the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody INCMGA00012, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for recurrent Glioblastoma (GBM). The investigators hypothesize that the proposed regimen will be safe and stimulate a robust anti-tumor immune response and result in improved tumor responses.

Detailed Description

      The study has 2 arms:

      Arm A (Cohort A) is a nonsurgical arm (N=16) that will serve as the primary study cohort and
      evaluated for the primary study endpoint. Subjects in this arm receive a single priming dose
      of both INCMGA00012 and INCAGN01876 prior to stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), then undergo
      SRS (8 Gy x 3 fractions). Following SRS, INCMGA00012 (IV every 4 weeks) and INCAGN01876 (IV
      every 2 weeks) are resumed and continued until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or
      for 2 years, whichever occurs first.

      Arm B (Cohort B) is a surgical arm (N=16) that will allow for evaluation of the effects on
      the tumor immune microenvironment of INCMGA00012, INCAGN01876, and SRS. In order to be
      enrolled on this arm, subjects must have a clinical indication for surgical resection of the
      recurrent GBM tumor. Prior to planned surgical resection, subjects receive neoadjuvant
      immunotherapy (one of two possible combinations, as outlined below). Subjects then undergo
      surgery. Postoperatively, the immunotherapy combination of INCMGA00012 (IV every 4 weeks) and
      INCAGN01876 (IV every 2 weeks) is resumed and continued until disease progression,
      unacceptable toxicity, or for 2 years, whichever occurs first. Subjects in the surgical arm
      with a focus of contrast-enhancing tumor that is amenable to SRS will be assigned to surgical
      sub-arm #1 of Cohort B (N=8). These subjects will receive neoadjuvant INCMGA00012 +
      INCAGN01876 + SRS. All other subjects enrolled on Cohort B (N=8) are treated with neoadjvuant
      INCMGA00012 + INCAGN01876 (without SRS).

             presence of either amplification of EGFR, whole chromosome 7 gain AND whole chromosome
             10 loss, or TERT promoter mutation). Participants are eligible if the prior diagnosis
             was low-grade glioma and a subsequent histological diagnosis of glioblastoma was made
             (e.g. secondary GBM).

          2. Participants must have glial tumor that is recurrent following prior first-line
             radiation therapy (prior dose must have been 40-75 Gy and may have been either photon
             or proton radiation), and must have unequivocal evidence of tumor progression by MRI
             scan

             have had prior bevacizumab or other vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF/VEGFR)
             inhibitors (exception: prior bevacizumab is allowed if it was administered for the
             treatment of radiation necrosis rather than progressive tumor and was stopped at least
             4 weeks prior to MRI showing demonstrating tumor progression). Prior gliadel wafers
             are only allowed if placed during the first surgery for GBM at initial diagnosis.

               5. Azoospermic males and WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are
                  exempt from contraceptive requirements. However, these WOCBP must still undergo
                  pregnancy testing as described in this section.

             At a minimum, participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active and their
             partners must agree to the use of a highly effective form of contraception (as defined
             below) throughout their participation beginning with the time of consent, during the
             study treatment, and for 180 days after last dose of study treatment(s).

               -  Hormonal methods of contraception including combined oral contraceptive pills,
                  vaginal ring, injectables, implants and intrauterine devices (IUDs) by WOCBP
                  subject or male subject's WOCBP partner. Female partners of male subjects
                  participating in the study may use hormone-based contraceptives as one of the
                  acceptable methods of contraception since they will not be receiving study drug

               -  Bilateral Tubal ligation

               -  Vasectomy

               -  Sexual Abstinence

                    -  It is not necessary to use any other method of contraception when complete
                       abstinence is elected.

                    -  WOCBP participants who choose complete abstinence must continue to have
                       pregnancy tests.

                    -  Acceptable alternate methods of highly effective contraception must be
                       discussed in the event that the WOCBP participants chooses to forego
                       complete abstinence.

         17. Participant must, in the opinion of the Investigator, be able to comply with study
             procedures

         18. Patients must be able to understand the study procedures and agree to participate in

             representative sign on patient's behalf if patient physically unable to sign consent
             due to neurologic deficit)

        Exclusion Criteria

        Any of the following would exclude the subject from participation in the study:

          1. Contrast-enhancing tumor in brainstem or spinal cord (subjects do not need spinal MRI

          3. Prior bevacizumab or other vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF/VEGFR) inhibitors
             (exception: prior bevacizumab is allowed if it was administered for the treatment of
             radiation necrosis rather than progressive tumor and was stopped at least 4 weeks
             prior to MRI showing demonstrating tumor progression).

          4. Patients with clinically significant mass effect or midline shift (e.g., 1-2 cm of
             midline shift)
