Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Safety of Intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and Oral Veledimex in Subjects With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Based on Evaluation of Adverse Events Summarized by Incidence, Intensity and Type of Adverse Event.
From the first dose of study treatment until 30 days after the last dose of veledimex, lasting approximately 5 months.

Evaluation of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.03. Adverse events will be summarized based on the incidence, intensity and type of adverse event.

Tolerability of Intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and Oral Veledimex in Subjects With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma Will be Assessed Based on Expected Dose Compliance
Days 1 through 14 of each 21-day treatment cycle, over a total treatment period of up to 6 cycles (approximately 4 months)

The Day 0 (as applicable), and Day 1 doses of veledimex were administered by study personnel at the study center. Thereafter, subjects could self-administer the remaining once daily dose of veledimex. Subjects were instructed to document veledimex dosing compliance in a subject diary, including the time each dose was taken, the time the subject ate the last meal prior to administration of veledimex, the number of capsules taken, whether the subject missed any veledimex doses, and reason for any missed doses. Investigational product container(s) with any remaining capsules were returned to the study staff on Day 15, and staff assessed dose compliance.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
2 years and 4 months

Evaluation of adverse events as assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03 will be based on the incidence, intensity and type of adverse event. AEs will be regarded as treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) during the treatment period regardless of relationship to study drug if: • The AE occurred or worsened from baseline during or after administration of the first dose of study drug (on or after Day 0).

Number of Participants With Veledimex Dose Compliance
From Day 0 through Day 14 for each participant

Evaluation will be based on expected dose compliance. Subjects were instructed to document veledimex dosing compliance in a subject diary, including the time each dose was taken, the time of the last meal prior to administration of veledimex, the number of capsules taken, whether the subject missed any veledimex doses, and reason for any missed doses. Investigational product container(s) with any remaining capsules were returned to the study staff on Day 15, and staff assessed dose compliance.

Safety and Tolerability of Varying Doses of Intratumoral Ad-RTS-hIL-12 and Oral Veledimex Doses in Subjects With Recurrent or Progressive Glioblastoma or Grade III Malignant Glioma
3 years

Evaluation will be based on the incidence, intensity, and type of Adverse Events (AEs). Clinically significant changes in the subjects' physical examinations, vital signs, and ECG evaluations, and clinical manifestations relevant to abnormal laboratory values will be captured as AEs.

Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events
From the signing of informed consent until 28 days after the last dose of study treatment, up to 28 weeks

Evaluation will be based on the incidence, intensity, and type of Adverse Events (AEs). Clinically significant changes in the subjects' physical examinations, vital signs, and ECG evaluations, and clinical manifestations relevant to abnormal laboratory values will be captured as AEs.

Frequently asked questions about Ad-RTS-hIL-12

What is Ad-RTS-hIL-12 used for?

Ad-RTS-hIL-12 is an investigational gene therapy being studied for the treatment of glioblastoma and glioblastoma multiforme, which are aggressive brain tumors. It is designed to deliver the IL-12 gene directly into tumor cells, with the goal of stimulating an immune response against the cancer. It has been tested in Phase 1 clinical trials.

How does Ad-RTS-hIL-12 work?

Ad-RTS-hIL-12 is an adenoviral vector that delivers the gene for human interleukin-12 (hIL-12), a cytokine that plays a key role in activating the immune system. The expression of IL-12 is controlled by an oral activator, veledimex, allowing for regulated production of the cytokine within the tumor microenvironment to enhance anti-tumor immunity.

Who is developing Ad-RTS-hIL-12?

Ad-RTS-hIL-12 is being developed by Alaunos Therapeutics, Inc., a biotechnology company focused on innovative cancer therapies. The company's ticker symbol is TCRT.

What phase is Ad-RTS-hIL-12 in?

Ad-RTS-hIL-12 is in Phase 1 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA for any indication. The Phase 1 trials have been completed.

What clinical trials is Ad-RTS-hIL-12 in?

Ad-RTS-hIL-12 has been evaluated in three completed Phase 1 clinical trials: NCT03679754, which tested Ad-RTS-hIL-12 plus veledimex in recurrent or progressive glioblastoma; NCT03636477, which tested the combination with nivolumab in glioblastoma; and NCT02026271, which tested Ad-RTS-hIL-12 with veledimex in glioblastoma or malignant glioma.
