Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Median Overall Survival (OS) of Subjects Receiving Td pre-conditioning
5 years

OS is defined as the time in months between randomization and death, or last follow-up if alive (Groups 1 and 2). Kaplan-Meier methods will be used to estimate median OS

Safety of administering Varlilumab to GBM patients receiving temozolomide and dendritic cell vaccines ± Td pre-conditioning as measured by the percentage of patients with unacceptable toxicity regardless of attribution
5 years

Percentage of patients with unacceptable toxicity (all Groups)

Median percent change between baseline, assessed on day 14, and nadir levels of Treg before the time that the second cycle of adjuvant TMZ would be administered. Treg determined by flow cytometry (CD3+ CD4+ CD25+ Foxp3+).

Group 3 patients will receive the first 3 DC vaccines every 2 weeks, same as Groups 1 and 2, but they will also receive varlilumab intraveneously (IV) 7 days before vaccine #1 and again at the same visit as vaccine #1, as well as 7 days before every DC vaccine except vaccine #2. Prior to the 4th vaccine, patients will receive a single dose of Td toxoid administered to a single side of the groin and saline administered to the contralateral side.

Frequently asked questions about CDX-1127

What is CDX-1127?

CDX-1127 is an investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (ticker CLDX) for oncology. It has been studied in Phase 1 clinical trials in patients with CD27 expressing B-cell malignancies such as Hodgkin's lymphoma, and in melanoma and other solid tumors. It is also known as varlilumab.

What is CDX-1127 used for in melanoma?

CDX-1127 has been studied in melanoma, including a Phase 1 trial of vaccination with 6MHP with or without systemic CDX-1127 in patients with Stage II-IV melanoma. It has also been evaluated in metastatic melanoma within a broader Phase 1 study of select solid tumor types and hematologic cancers.

Who makes CDX-1127?

CDX-1127 is developed by Celldex Therapeutics, Inc., which trades under the ticker CLDX. The company sponsored the Phase 1 clinical studies of the antibody in patients with CD27 expressing B-cell malignancies, solid tumors, and melanoma.

What phase is CDX-1127 in?

CDX-1127 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved by the FDA. The completed Phase 1 studies enrolled a total of 90 patients across the trials listed, including one study of 33 patients and one of 90 patients.

What clinical trials is CDX-1127 in?

CDX-1127 has been evaluated in two completed Phase 1 trials: NCT03617328, which studied vaccination with 6MHP with or without systemic CDX-1127 in patients with Stage II-IV melanoma, and NCT01460134, which studied CDX-1127 in patients with select solid tumor types or hematologic cancers.

Is CDX-1127 the same as varlilumab?

Yes, CDX-1127 is also known as varlilumab. Varlilumab is the alternative name for the same investigational monoclonal antibody developed by Celldex Therapeutics, Inc. (ticker CLDX), so searches for either name refer to the same Phase 1 oncology asset.
