Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1/2a, open-label study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical activity of RZ-001 administered in combination with VGCV in subjects with hTERT-positive GBM.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

The study consists of 2 parts: a dose-escalation part (Part 1) and a dose-expansion part (Part 2).

Part 1 consists of dose escalation exploring MTD/RP2D for intratumoral (IT) injection.

Part 2 will consist of dose expansion exploring clinical activity for the optimal fixed dose based on the results of Part 1.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Part 1 Cohort 1

RZ-001 Dose 1 and VGCV

Drug: RZ-001
Recombinant adenovirus harboring the modified ribozyme construct with HSV-tk as a therapeutic transgene
Other Names:
  • Ad-ECRT-122T
  • Combination Product: VGCV
    VGCV, used in a subject after RZ-001 administration, is a nucleoside analog that is metabolized by HSV-tk and other cellular kinases to form the cytotoxic nucleotide analog ganciclovir triphosphate. An approved oral VGCV will be used in the proposed clinical study of RZ-001.
