简要总结
Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent primary brain tumor and the brain tumor with the poorest prognosis. The current treatment relies on surgical resection of gross tumor followed by radiochemotherapy and adjuvant therapy with temozolomide.
After such therapy, most patients experiment recurrence and few therapeutic option are available. Despite such therapies, median survival only reaches around fifteen months.
There is a strong rational to develop telomerase vaccine in GBM. Telomerase (TERT) is a major oncogene, particularly in primary brain tumors 24. Alterations in TERT are very frequent in central nervous system tumors, seen most commonly in gliomas25. Mutations in the TERT promoter are found in approximately 80% of primary glioblastoma (GBM). These findings strongly support the rational to develop vaccine targeting telomerase in GBM.
The aim of this project is to evaluate UCPVax treatment in glioblastoma. UCPVax is a therapeutic anti-cancer vaccine based on the telomerase-derived helper peptides designed to induce strong TH1 CD4 T cell responses in cancer patients (NCT02818426).

- •Females of childbearing potential should use reliable methods of contraception from the time of the screening until 5 weeks after discontinuing study treatment.
- •Male patients with a female partner of childbearing potential should be willing to use barrier contraception during the study and for 5 months following discontinuation of study drug.

- •Pregnancy or lactating patients.
- •Patients with any severe/uncontrolled inter current illness, significant co morbid or psychiatric conditions that in the opinion of the investigator would impair study participation or cooperation.
- •Patients under guardianship, curatorship or under the protection of justice.
