About this trial

This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalation, multiple-dose investigator-initiated trial (IIT). The trial aims to evaluate the safety and tolerability of autologous dendritic cell injection sensitized with tumor neoantigens (YS247) in participants with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma, as well as to assess preliminary efficacy and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The study consists of four phases: screening, baseline, treatment, and follow-up. During the treatment phase, participants will be assigned to three dose groups (low, medium, and high) and enrolled following the "3+3" dose-escalation principle. YS247 will be administered subcutaneously once every 2 weeks for a total of 8 consecutive doses.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Safety and Treatment Tolerability

Evaluate the incidence of treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs) of Tumor Neoantigen-pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cell Injection (YS247, Beijing YSCell Biotech Co., Ltd., abbreviated as YS) in patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma based on CTCAE v5.0, to assess the safety and tolerability of the product.

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)
2

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and Recommended Expanded Dose(RP2D)

Based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), establish the MTD of Tumor Neoantigen-pulsed Autologous Dendritic Cell Injection (YS247) for patients with recurrent or progressive glioblastoma, and define the RP2D. DLT is defined as any study drug-related AE (per CTCAE 5.0) or laboratory abnormality occurring from first dose to 4 weeks post-dose, unrelated to disease progression, comorbidity, or concomitant medication, including: 1. CTCAE Grade 3 non-hematological toxicity lasting \>7 days. 2. Immune-related Grade 3 pneumonia, recurrent Grade 2 pneumonia. 3. Other Grade 3 irAE not recovering to ≤Grade 2 in 3 days or ≤Grade 1 in 14 days with intervention. 4. CTCAE Grade 4 non-hematological toxicity. 5. CTCAE Grade 4 hematological toxicity lasting \>7 days. 6. CTCAE Grade 5 toxicity of any type. 7. Any unexpected toxicity requiring treatment termination per investigator/sponsor judgment.

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

Disease Control Rate (DCR)

Determined per RANO criteria via radiographic evaluation of intracranial tumor lesions.

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)
2

Duration of Response (DoR)

Calculated per RANO criteria based on serial radiographic tumor lesion assessments.

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)
3

the safe and efficacious dose range

Characterized based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) and anti-tumor response data assessed per RANO criteria

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)
4

Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Determined per Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology (RANO criteria) via radiographic evaluation of intracranial tumor lesions.

Time frame
From subject enrollment until completion of the 8th treatment cycle (each cycle is 14 days)

Other outcomes

1

Neoantigen-specific T cell count

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected at scheduled visits to quantify neoantigen-specific T cell counts by IFN-γ ELISpot assay.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of the 8th treatment cycle (each treatment cycle lasts 14 days)
2

T cell activation phenotypes

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected at scheduled visits to detect activation phenotypes of neoantigen-specific T cells via multi-color flow cytometry.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of the 8th treatment cycle (each treatment cycle lasts 14 days)
3

Cytokine secretion level of neoantigen-specific T cells

Peripheral blood plasma collected at scheduled visits to measure cytokine secretion of neoantigen-specific T cells using ELISA assay.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of the 8th treatment cycle (each treatment cycle lasts 14 days)
4

T cell receptor clonotype diversity and clonal expansion

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) collected at scheduled visits to analyze neoantigen-specific T cell receptor clonotype diversity and clonal expansion by full-length TCR sequencing.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of the 8th treatment cycle (each treatment cycle lasts 14 days)
