HSV G207 in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Cerebellar Brain Tumors

Phase 1 Trial of Engineered HSV G207 in Children With Recurrent or Refractory Cerebellar Brain Tumors


Sponsor

M.D. Anderson Cancer Center

Enrollment

24 participants

Start Date

Sep 12, 2019

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is a clinical trial to determine the safety of inoculating G207 (an experimental virus therapy) into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. The safety of combining G207 with a single low dose of radiation, designed to enhance virus replication, tumor cell killing, and an anti-tumor immune response, will also be tested. Funding Source- FDA OOPD

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial is testing an experimental treatment using a modified herpes virus (G207) injected directly into brain tumors in the cerebellum (back of the brain) in children and young adults whose cancer has come back or stopped responding to standard treatment. **You may be eligible if...** - You are between 3 and 21 years old - You have a confirmed malignant cerebellar brain tumor (such as medulloblastoma, glioblastoma, ependymoma, or other aggressive tumors) that has progressed or returned after standard treatment - Your tumor is between 1.0 and 3.0 cm and can be safely reached by surgery - You have recovered from prior treatments **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor cannot be safely reached by surgery - You have not yet received standard treatments (surgery, radiation, and/or chemotherapy) - You have active serious infections or other conditions that increase risk Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALG207

Single dose of G207 infused through catheters into region(s) of tumor. If G207 is safe in the first cohort of patients, subsequent patients will receive a single dose of G207 infused through catheters into region(s) of tumor followed by a 5 Gy dose of radiation to the tumor (which includes progressive leptomeningeal disease or any site of gross tumor progressing in the brain parenchyma) within 24 hours of virus inoculation.
