Clinical Trials

The G207 therapy consists of a single infusion directly into the tumor. The immunotherapy approach causes direct tumor cell death and also recruits immune system cells to aid the body’s own natural tumor defenses.

Completed

Phase 1 Study in 12 pediatric patients with recurrent high grade glioma (HGG)
  • Improved overall survival 12.2 months versus 5.6 months for historical trials
  • Dramatic Safety Advantage – No serious adverse events
  • Evidence of florid T-cell response in treated tumors turning immunologically “cold” tumors “hot”
  • Original Article “Oncolytic HSV-1 G207 Immunotherapy for Pediatric High-Grade Gliomas” (Friedman GK) published in New England Journal of Medicine April 10, 2021
  • Phase 1 data presented at American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) conference April 10, 2021 (Friedman GK)

Active - Enrolling

Phase 2 Clinical Trial of G207 in Children with Recurrent High-Grade Glioma
  • 30 children with recurrent glioma
  • Overall Survival measured against historical controls from prior pediatric HGG studies
  • Safety, immune response, and radiographic responses also will be evaluated
  • Sites currently enrolling include  
  • MD Anderson Cancer Center
  • Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Enrolling

Phase 1 Study of G207 in combination with 5Gy radiation in up to 15 patients with recurrent medulloblastoma and other cerebellar tumors.

The clinical trial will determine the safety of inoculating G207 with or without low dose radiation into a recurrent or refractory cerebellar brain tumor. 
Progression free survival, overall survival and immunological response will also be monitored.
Current enrolling centers include:  MD Anderson Cancer Center, Children's of Alabama and St. Louis Children's Hospital.
