Summary

The trial will address safety and tolerability of the combination of the IDH1R132H-specific vaccine with checkpoint blockade and seeks to explore predictive biomarkers for response to checkpoint blockade in post-treatment tumor tissue. The study will enroll 48 evaluable patients (presumably, 60 in total) with IDH1R132H-mutated gliomas with an unfavorable molecular profile (no 1p/19q co-deletion, nuclear ATRX- loss) progressive after radiotherapy and alkylating chemotherapy eligible for re-resection. After diagnosis of recurrent disease on imaging patients will be randomized assigned in a 1:1:2 ratio into three arms. Arm 1 (12 patients) will receive three IDH1R132H peptide vaccines alone in two week intervals. Arm 2 (12 patients) will receive three IDH1R132H peptide vaccines in combination with three doses of Avelumab in two week intervals. Arm 3 (24 patients) will receive three doses of Avelumab in two week intervals. After 6 weeks of treatment patients (Arms 1-3) will undergo planned re-resection. Four weeks after the operation treatment will be resumed consisting of five additional vaccines (Arm 1+2) in 4 week intervals, followed by maintenance vaccines until progression in three months' intervals after a pause of 16 weeks. Avelumab will be administered in monthly intervals in Arms 2 and 3 starting four weeks after the operation until progression.

Key outcome parameters will be safety and immunogenicity (Arms 1 and 2) based on peripheral and intratumoral immune analyses assessed 9 months after re-resection.

Conditions

  • Malignant Glioma

Interventions

DRUG

IDH1R132H peptide vaccine

The vaccine is applied by s.c. injection with 300 μg IDH1R132H peptide emulsified in 0.5 ml 33% DMSO / 0.5 ml Montanide® per dose. Patients receive 3 doses in two week intervals for 6 weeks, followed by re-resection. 4 weeks after surgery, treatment will be resumed consisting of 5 additional vaccinations in 4 week intervals, followed by maintenance vaccines until progression in three months intervals after a pause of 16 weeks.

DRUG

Avelumab

Avelumab is a humanized anti-PD-L1 antibody approved for patients with Merkel cell carcinoma and urothelial cancer. It is applied by i.v. infusion with 10 mg/kg per dose. Patients receive 3 doses of Avelumab in 2week intervals for 6 weeks, followed by re-resection. Avelumab will be administered in monthly intervals starting 4 weeks after the surgery until progression.
