CTIM-22. MEDIAN AND 2 YEARS SURVIVAL OF NEWLY DIAGNOSED UNMETHYLATED MGMT GLIOBLASTOMA PATIENTS TREATED WITH TEMFERON IMMUNO-GENE THERAPY

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract TEM-GBM is an open-label, Phase 1/2a dose-escalation study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a myeloid cell-targeted therapy (Temferon) in up to 27 newly diagnosed GBM patients with unmethylated MGMT (uMGMT). Temferon, consists of autologous Hematopoietic Stem Progenitor Cells (HSPCs) genetically modified with a lentiviral vector to deliver IFN-α2 within the tumor microenvironment by Tie-2 expressing macrophages. As of 21st May 2024, 24 GBM patients in 8 cohorts received incremental doses of Temferon and 6 are still alive. For all patients, median overall survival (OS) and median progression free survival reach 17 months and 8.3 months from first surgery, respectively. The interim survival rate at 2 years in Temferon-treated patients is 30% (6 of 20 patients; 3 patients excluded as follow-up is below 1 year). The mOS and the % of patients surviving up to 2 years are currently higher than previously reported for uMGMT patients treated as per standard practice (12.7 months and 14,8%, respectively). Two out of the six patients did not receive any additional treatment lines up to two years after 1st surgery. The other four patients instead received a 2nd treatment line (bevacizumab, regorafenib, Gamma-Knife, metronomic Temozolomide, Lomustine) as per the PI judgment, on average after 443 days from 1st surgery (333 days from Temefron - range 223-1030 days from first surgery). Specifically, Bevacizumab administration started 12 months after 1st surgery for one patient and 19 months for the other 2 patients at 5 mg/kg. The data further confirms the initial evidence on safety and tolerability of Temferon and highlight the potential to prolong the survival of patients affected by uMGMT GBM.
