CTIM-25. ONCOLYTIC VIRUS FOR DIPG: THE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE WITH DNX-2401

ABSTRACT: Abstract Despite our increased understanding of Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) the outcome remains dismal. Recently we showed that the virus Delta-24-RGD (DNX-2401 in the clinic) was effective in preclinical models of DIPG and had the ability to trigger an antitumor immune response. These data allowed us to propel a phase I clinical trial for newly diagnosed DIPGs (NCT03178032) where the patients received an intratumoral viral injection followed by standard radiotherapy. The main objective is to determine the safety, tolerability, and toxicity of DNX-2401. Secondary endpoints are overall survival at 12 months, percentage of responses and induced immune response against tumor. Tumor biopsy was performed through the cerebellar peduncle, followed by intratumoral injection of DNX-2401
