A Randomized, Dose-Ranging, Safety and Tolerability Study of NBI-3001 Administered by Continuous Intratumoral Infusion Followed by Surgical Resection in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma Multiforme


OBJECTIVES: I. Determine the safety, tolerability, and optimal clinical dose of
interleukin-4(38-37)-PE38KDEL cytotoxin (NBI-3001) followed by surgical resection in
patients with recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.

OUTLINE: This is an open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study. Patients receive
interleukin-4(38-37)-PE38KDEL cytotoxin (NBI-3001) intratumorally as a continuous infusion
over 4-5 days beginning within 12-36 hours after ventricular catheter placement. Patients
then undergo surgical tumor resection approximately 3 weeks after drug infusion. Cohorts of
6 patients receive escalating doses of NBI-3001 until the maximum tolerated dose is
determined. Patients are followed within 1 week and then at 8, 16, and 26 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 30-36 patients will be accrued for this study.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS: Histologically confirmed recurrent or progressive glioblastoma
multiforme Previously treated with cytoreductive surgery Unilateral, unifocal tumor with a
volume of 5-80 mL Not eligible for further radiotherapy due to prior external beam
radiotherapy No multifocal, brain stem, or infratentorial tumor or tumor invading midline
No tumor with a clinically significant mass effect (greater than 5 mm midline shift) while
