Treatment Arms

ArmTypeDescription
Arm A- rQNestinEXPERIMENTALArm A is rQNestin34.5v.2 treatment This study follows a standard 3+3 dose escalation design. Participants will not enroll to Arm B until the MTD or HTD has been met for Arm A. * Subjects with presumed radiologic evidence of recurrent malignant glioma will undergo stereotactic biopsy under monitored general or local anesthesia. Evidence of recurrent high grade or malignant must be found on frozen section for the person to receive administration of the agent. * rQNestin34.5v.2 Indicated dose as per cohort, Intratumor administration during surgery, single dose
Arm B- rQNestin+CPAEXPERIMENTALArm B is rQNestin34.5v.2 treatment with Cyclophosphamide (CPA) pre-treatment This study follows a standard 3+3 dose escalation design. Participants will not enroll to Arm B until the MTD or HTD has been met for Arm A. * Cyclophosphamide one intravenous injection 2 days prior to procedure. * Subjects with presumed radiologic evidence of recurrent malignant glioma will undergo stereotactic biopsy under monitored general or local anesthesia. Evidence of recurrent high grade or malignant must be found on frozen section for the person to receive administration of the agent. * rQNestin34.5v.2 Indicated dose as per cohort, Intratumor administration during surgery, single dose
Arm C- Multiple Dose rQNestinEXPERIMENTALArm C includes up to 6 intratumoral repeated doses of rQNestin34.5v.2, first in a cohort receiving 10\^8 pfus per time point, followed by a cohort receiving 10\^9 or 10\^7 pfus per time point. * Arm C adds 2 cohorts of 12 subjects in an open-label clinical trial of rQNestin34.5v.2 administered at two dose levels * The injections are planned for days 0, 15, 30, 60, 90, and 120 * Subjects with presumed radiologic evidence of recurrent malignant glioma will undergo stereotactic biopsy under monitored general or local anesthesia. Evidence of recurrent high grade or malignant must be found on frozen section for the person to receive administration of the agent.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
rQNestinDRUGrQNestin is an oncolytic viral vector. It is administered via intratumoral injection during biopsy surgery.
CyclophosphamideDRUGCyclophosphamide is an immunomodulating agent. It is administered intravenously in a single dose 2 days (+/- 6 hrs) before surgery.
Stereotactic biopsyPROCEDUREIn both arms, subjects will undergo standard of care stereotactic biopsy in the intraoperative MRI operating room. The stereotactic needle will be placed stereotactically into the tumor bed using intraoperative MRI guidance to collect the biopsy, and again to administer the rQNestin oncolytic virus.

Frequently asked questions about CAN-3110

What is CAN-3110 used for?

CAN-3110 is an investigational therapy being studied for the treatment of recurrent malignant glioma of the brain, including glioblastoma and related high-grade brain tumors. It is being developed for patients with recurrent disease and is not yet approved for commercial use.

Who is developing CAN-3110?

CAN-3110 is being developed by Candel Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company that trades under the ticker symbol CADL. The company is running the clinical program for this asset in recurrent malignant glioma.

What phase is CAN-3110 in?

CAN-3110 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 1 program is evaluating the treatment in patients with recurrent malignant glioma of the brain.

What clinical trials is CAN-3110 in?

CAN-3110 is being evaluated in the Phase 1 trial NCT03152318, titled A Study of the Treatment of Recurrent Malignant Glioma With rQNestin34.5v.2. The trial is active but not recruiting, has enrolled 62 patients, and is being conducted in the United States in adults 18 years and older.

Is CAN-3110 the same as rQNestin?

Yes, CAN-3110 is also known as rQNestin, and the Phase 1 trial lists it as rQNestin34.5v.2. These names refer to the same investigational agent being studied in recurrent malignant glioma, so searches for either name point to the same Candel Therapeutics program.

Is CAN-3110 biomarker selected?

Yes, CAN-3110 is a biomarker-selected therapy, meaning the clinical program enrolls patients based on a defined biomarker rather than an unselected population. The Phase 1 trial NCT03152318 is a controlled study in adults with recurrent malignant glioma and does not use randomization or double blinding.
