简要总结
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of VBI-1901 in subjects with recurrent malignant gliomas (glioblastoma, or GBM).
详细描述
This is a three-part, dose-escalation study to define the safety, tolerability, and optimal dose level of candidate GBM vaccine VBI-1901 with subsequent extension of optimal dose level in recurrent GBM subjects and comparison with standard of care (SOC) treatment. Subjects in groups receiving VBI-1901 vaccination will continue to receive vaccine every 4 weeks until tumor progression per immunotherapy Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (iRANO)/Response Assessment for Neuro-Oncology (RANO) criteria.
