HGG-01: ADV-TK Improves Outcome of Recurrent High-Grade Glioma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Malignant gliomas are the most common primary brain tumor in adults, but the prognosis for patients with these tumors remains poor despite advances in diagnosis and standard therapies such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. The advantages of ADV-TK gene therapy highlight its efficacy and safety for glioma patients. This clinical trial was conducted to assess the anti-tumor efficacy and safety of intraarterial cerebral infusion of replication-deficient adenovirus mutant ADV-TK, in combination with systemic intravenous GCV administration in patients with recurrent high-grade glioma.

Active Comparator: Control group Patients received surgery or systemic chemotherapy or palliative care. |
Procedure: Surgery
Drug: systemic chemotherapy

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The primary end point was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS-6) [6 months]
Secondary Outcome Measures
- progression-free survival (PFS) [3 years]
- overall survival (OS) [3 years]
- safety [1. at the time during treatments; 2. at 6-month; 3. at the end of 1-year following-up; 4. at the end of 2-year following up; 5. at the time the patient censored.]
- clinical benefit [at the end of 2nd ADK-TK/GCV therapy]
the rate of complete response, plus partial response, plus stable disease
