Brief summary

This first-in-human clinical study aims to evaluate the safety and feasibility of locally delivered, allogeneic γδ T cells (genetically edited with ARIH1 and BCL11b knockout, designated ABOUT γδT cells) in patients with glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). The engineered effector cells are delivered via localized administration to selectively target and eliminate residual GBM cells. ABOUT: ARIH1 and BCL11b knockOUT γδ T cells.

Interventions

DRUGAllogeneic γδ T (ABOUT) cells

Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) ≥ 60% 4. Life expectancy \> 4 weeks 5. Patients who completed radiotherapy or systemic therapies (including temozolomide/bevacizumab or other agents) for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment. All prior treatment-related toxicities should be defined as ≤ grade 1 (except for toxicities such as alopecia or leukoplakia) according to the Common Terminology Standard for Adverse Events (CTCAE 6.0) 6. Must be able to undergo an MRI with contrast 7. Must have adequate organ and marrow function as defined below: * White blood cell count (WBC) ≥ 3 x 10\^9/L * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1 x 10\^9/L * Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 90 g/L * Platelet (PLT) ≥ 80×10\^9/L * Albumin transaminase (ALT) & albumin transaminase (AST) \< 1.5 × institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) * Serum creatinine (Cr) \< 1.5 x institutional ULN * Total bilirubin \< 1.5 x institutional ULN * PT & PTT ≤ 1.25 x institutional ULN 8. No obvious hereditary diseases 9. Normal cardiac function with left ventricular ejection fraction \>55% 10. No bleeding and coagulation disorders 11. Absence of positive blood cultures for bacteria, fungus, or virus within 48-hours prior to ABOUT γδT cell infusion and/or there aren't any indications of meningitis 12. Fertile women must have had a pregnancy test with a negative result within 7 days prior to the start of treatment, and subjects are willing to use contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control or abstinence) during the clinical trial and for 6 months after the last cell infusion; should a woman become pregnant or suspect that she is pregnant while participating on the trial, she should inform her treating physician immediately 13. Signed, written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

Participants with a chronic disease requiring immunologic or hormonal therapy 5. Participants with an allergy to immunotherapy and related cells 6. Participants with uncontrolled intercurrent illness 7. Participants with psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements 8. Participants with a history of organ transplantation or who are awaiting organ transplantation

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)3 months following ABOUT γδT cells administrationDefined as the incidence of ≥ Grade 3-4 adverse events related to ABOUT γδT cells according to common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) v6.0.
Incidence of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)28 days following initial treatment with ABOUT γδT cellsDefined as events attributable to ABOUT γδT cells infusion within 28 days post-infusion. Grade 3-4 acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) according to the Mount Sinai Acute GvHD International Consortium criteria; Grade 3 or higher cytokine release syndrome (CRS) lasting more than 2 weeks, according to American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) criteria; Any ABOUT γδT cells-related AE requiring intubation; Grade 4 non-hematologic toxicities.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Objective Response Rate (ORR)3 months following ABOUT γδT cells administrationAccording to modified RANO criteria, ORR is defined as proportion of subjects with confirmed CR and PR.
Duration of response (DOR)3 months following ABOUT γδT cells administrationAccording to modified RANO criteria, DOR is defined as time from the date when a response of confirmed CR/PR is first met to the date of confirmed disease progression or death.
