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.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: ADV-TK/GCV

ADV-TK was administered via intraarterial cerebral infusion. Systemic GCV therapy was delivered at a dose of 5mg/kg intravenous, every 12 h at 36 hours after ADV-TK therapy.

Biological: ADV-TK/GCV
gene therapy

Active Comparator: Control group

Patients received surgery or systemic chemotherapy or palliative care.

Procedure: Surgery

Drug: systemic chemotherapy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. The primary end point was 6-month progression-free survival rate (PFS-6) [6 months]

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. progression-free survival (PFS) [3 years]

  2. overall survival (OS) [3 years]

  3. 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.]

  4. clinical benefit [at the end of 2nd ADK-TK/GCV therapy]

    the rate of complete response, plus partial response, plus stable disease
