Study Summary

This is a single-center, open-label, dose-escalating Phase 0 trial that will enroll participants with a confirmed diagnosed recurrent high-grade glioma (grade 3 or 4 per WHO criteria) targeting the mTOR pathway. Eligible participants will be administered a single infusion of temsirolimus through super-selective intra-arterial infusion or intravenous infusion. Participants will receive the study drug administration on the same day as the planned surgical resection of the tumor.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have completed the Stupp regimen.

  • Have measurable disease pre-operatively, defined as at least 1 contrast enhancinglesion, with 2 perpendicular measurements of at least 1 cm, as per RANO criteria.

  • Sufficient biopsy or archival tissue to confirm eligibility

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Past medical history of interstitial lung disease (ILD), drug-induced ILD, radiationpneumonitis which required steroid treatment, or any evidence of clinically activeinterstitial lung disease.

  • Pregnancy or lactation.

  • Known hypersensitivity to temsirolimus or its metabolites, polysorbate 80, or to anyother component of temsirolimus.

  • Participant has serious and/or uncontrolled preexisting medical condition(s) that,in the judgment of the investigator, would preclude participation in this study (forexample, active infection, interstitial lung disease, severe dyspnea at rest orrequiring oxygen therapy, severe renal impairment [e.g. estimated creatinineclearance]

  • Received a live vaccination or is in close contact with someone who received a livevaccination within 28 days of the start of study treatment

  • Treatment with another investigational drug or other intervention within 30 daysprior to the planned treatment Day 1.
