A Randomized Phase II Study of the Efficacy of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LiTT) Combined With Cemiplimab Versus Physician's Choice Chemotherapy in Recurrent Glioblastomas

Summary

This study will assess the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LiTT) with adjuvant cemiplimab compared to the therapeutic efficacy of the combination of LiTT with physician's choice of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with recurrent glioblastoma. Patients will be enrolled and randomized on a 2:1 ratio to either the experimental arm (LiTT + cemiplimab) or the control arm (LiTT + physician/s choice chemotherapy).

Interventions

• Device
  NeuroBlate® Laser Ablation Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy

  LiTT, or magnetic resource imaging (MRI)-guided laser ablation, is a minimally invasive surgery approved for cytoreductive treatment of brain tumors. It employs a small incision in the scalp and skull, through which a thin laser probe is inserted and guided by MRI imaging to the core of a tumor mass where it delivers hyperthermic ablation from the core to the rim.

• Drug
  Cemiplimab

  Cemiplimab is a programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1)-blocking antibody that is administered intravenously at 350mg over 30 minutes every 3 weeks on an outpatient basis.

• Drug
  Chemotherapy

  Adjuvant chemotherapy will be decided by the physician's choice of best fit by patient, including the agent(s), dosing, and schedule.
