Anticancer Therapeutic Vaccination Using Telomerase-derived Universal Cancer Peptides in Glioblastoma
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 9 Jan 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
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).

- Prohibited medications:
- Chronic treatment with immunosuppressive drugs
- Ongoing requirement for supraphysiologic steroid defined as \>10 mg prednisone daily (or equivalent)

- Patient with intra-alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary fibrosis, or uncontrolled asthma, or chronic obstructive disease (COPD), defined as at least 1 hospitalization within 4 months prior to enrollment or as at least 3 exacerbations during the last year prior to enrollment Hospitalization for cardiovascular or pulmonary disease within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
- Participation in a clinical study with an investigational product within 4 weeks prior to the start of the study treatment or patient in the exclusion period of a previous clinical trial.
Other illness
- Presence of known extracranial metastatic or leptomeningeal disease Glioblastoma with mutated IDH1 (assessed by Immunohistochemistry)
- History of autoimmune diseases (lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease…)
- 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.
Lab values
- Known positive serology for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Hepatitis C virus (HCV); presence in the serum of the antigens HBs
Other
- Non-hematologic toxicities Grade \>1 severity (or, at the investigator's discretion, Grade \>2 if not considered a safety risk for the patient).

- Karnofsky Performance status ≥ 70%
- Life-expectancy \> 3 months
- Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function.
- Females must be using highly effective contraceptive measures , and have a negative pregnancy test prior to the start of dosing if of childbearing potential, or must have evidence of non-childbearing potential.
- 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.
