VITA Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Group A: Vigil + Irinotecan and TemozolomideExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Participants randomized to Group A received oral temozolomide 100 mg/m2 daily (Days 1-5), total dose 500 mg/m2/cycle) and oral irinotecan 50 mg/m2 daily (Days 1-5, total dose 250 mg/m2/cycle). Vigil immunotherapy was administered at a concentration of 1 X 10e6 cells/dose given via intradermal injection on Day 15 of each cycle. 1 cycle = 21 days Participants continued treatment for a maximum of 12 cycles, or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other criterion is met for discontinuation from study.
Group II: Cross-Over: Vigil monotherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants randomized to Group B were able to receive Vigil immunotherapy at a concentration of 1 X 10e6 cells/dose given via intradermal injection on Day 15 of each cycle. Confirmation of progression by central radiologist and pre-approval from sponsor was required. 1 cycle = 21 days
Group III: Group B: Irinotecan and TemozolomideActive Control2 Interventions
Participants randomized to Group B received oral temozolomide 100 mg/m2 daily (Days 1-5), total dose 500 mg/m2/cycle) and oral irinotecan 50 mg/m2 daily (Days 1-5, total dose 250 mg/m2/cycle). 1 cycle = 21 days Participants continued treatment for a maximum of 12 cycles, or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, withdrawal of consent or other criterion is met for discontinuation from study.
