Brief

CDX-110 is an immunotherapeutic molecule that is intended to induce a tumor-specific immune response in EGFRvIII positive brain cancer. Cells producing EGFRvIII have an enhanced capacity for unregulated growth, survival, invasion, and recruitment of new tumor blood vessels. This Phase II/III study is designed to determine whether the addition of CDX-110 vaccination to a standard of care regimen provides significant benefit for patients. ACT III will randomize patients with newly diagnosed, EGFRvIII positive, resected GBM who have already received standard chemoradiation (with temozolomide) to CDX-110 plus temozolomide maintenance therapy (standard of care) or temozolomide maintenance therapy alone (in a 2:1 ratio; investigational vaccine:active comparator). Treatment will continue until disease progression, and patients will be followed for Progression Free Survival and Overall Survival.
