What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing a custom-made vaccine designed to help the immune system attack brain cancer cells. It targets patients with a specific type of brain cancer that hasn't responded to usual treatments. The vaccine works by teaching the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells based on unique markers.

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed, unmethylated glioblastoma who've had a craniotomy or resection. Participants must consent to genome sequencing and agree to use contraception. They should have normal organ function, not be on high-dose steroids, and can't have other cancers within the last 3 years or any immune system disorders.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients who had prior craniotomy with biopsy, subtotal resection, total gross resection, or re-resection will be permitted.

Consent to genome sequencing and dbGaP-based data sharing and has provided or will provide germline (PBMC) and tumor DNA/RNA samples of adequate quality for sequencing. (Acquisition of specimens for sequencing and the sequencing itself may be done as part of routine care or another research project.)

Normal bone marrow and organ function as defined below:

Exclusion Criteria

No candidate neoantigen identified during screening.

Inadequate tissue acquisition to allow for neoantigen screening.

Known allergy, or history of serious adverse reaction to, vaccines such as anaphylaxis, hives, or respiratory difficulty.

What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Personalized neoantigen DNA vaccine

Trial Overview The study tests a personalized neoantigen-based DNA vaccine using the CELLECTRA®2000 EP Device in patients with glioblastoma. It aims to assess safety and how well it triggers an immune response against the cancer.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Vaccine (GNOS-PV01 + INO-9012) Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

* Standard radiation therapy will be administered per standard of care and is outside the scope of this study. * GNOS-PV01 + INO-9012 will be given on Days 1, 22, and 43 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each subsequent cycle beginning with Cycle 2.

Personalized neoantigen DNA vaccine is already approved in United States for the following indications:

Approved in United States as GNOS-PV02 for:

• Pediatric recurrent brain tumors
