Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigational products, DB107-RRV and DB107-FC, as a combination treatment will shrink high-grade glioma (HGG) in patients with recurrent/progressive, resectable or unresectable disease and increase the time that disease is controlled.

Inclusion criteria
. Patients 18-75 years old.
. Histologically proven HGG that have recurred/progressed (first or second recurrence).
. Patients with unresectable or resectable HGG (AA or GBM) will be enrolled.
. Measurable disease on MRI as evidenced by 1 cm on two separate dimensions on MRI fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) (non-enhancing) or contrast-enhancement.
. Last temozolomide dosage 4 weeks prior to surgery.
. Patients with prior radiation therapy are allowed, but histological tumor diagnosis of recurrent tumor must be confirmed according to the RANO criteria. Recurrence must be confirmed by diagnostic biopsy with local pathology review or contrast-enhanced MRI. If first recurrence of GBM is documented by MRI, an interval of at least 12 weeks after the end of prior radiation therapy is required unless there is either: i) histopathologic confirmation of recurrent tumor, or ii) new enhancement on MRI outside of the radiotherapy treatment field.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
. Presence of Denovo Genomic Marker 7 (DGM7) biomarker in blood.
. Laboratory values (Platelet count ≥ 80,000, hemoglobin \[Hg\] ≥10 g/dL, absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1,500 cells/mm3, absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) \> 500/mm3) and adequate liver function, total bilirubin\< 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN), alanine transaminase (ALT) \<2.5 ULN. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) should be \> 50 mL/min (Cockcroft Gault Formula). Patients with aspartate transaminase (AST) or ALT values \>3 ULN and total bilirubin \>1.5 mg/dL will be excluded.
Exclusion criteria
. History of active other malignancy (other than non-melanoma skin cancers, cervical ductal carcinoma in situ or localized prostate cancer) within 5 years.
. Multifocal gliomas that cannot undergo stereotactic biopsy/administration of DB107-RRV will be excluded. Patients with 3 or more intracranial recurrences will be excluded.
. Histologically confirmed oligodendroglioma or mixed gliomas.
. History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or other forms of severe immunosuppression.
. Patients with impaired renal function (eGFR\<50 cc/min).
. Patients with bone marrow depression, such as those with a hematological disease or who are being treated with radiation or drugs that depress bone marrow or individuals who have a history of treatment with drugs or radiation that depress bone marrow within 1 month of enrollment.
. The patient intends to undergo treatment with the Gliadel® wafer at the time of this surgery or has received the Gliadel® wafer \< 30 days from surgery.
