Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–75 with histologically confirmed glioma that has recurred or progressed after prior therapy and no standard options available or intolerant to them.

Probably not a fit

Patients with disease that does not respond to the combination or who experience intolerable toxicity may not benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label Phase II trial evaluates adding HF1K16 to Bevacizumab in adults with recurrent or progressive glioma who have exhausted standard therapies. HF1K16 uses a lipid delivery system with all-trans retinoic acid to reprogram tumor-associated immune cells, potentially reversing immune suppression. The combination with Bevacizumab aims to both inhibit blood vessel formation and modify the tumor microenvironment to enhance anti-tumor activity. The study design is adaptive and focuses on preliminary efficacy and safety of the combination. Participants will be monitored for tumor response, safety, and tolerability.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants could experience slowed tumor growth or improved disease control from the combination therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Prior similar approaches in other cancers have shown potential with immune-modulating strategies, but this exact combination in glioma is investigational.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. The patient and/or guardian must voluntarily sign and date a written informed consent form.
2. Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 75 years at the time of informed consent signing, male or female.
3. Confirmed diagnosis of glioma by histopathology and molecular pathology, with recurrent or progressive disease following prior therapy, and no available standard treatment or intolerance to standard treatment.
4. Expected survival time of at least 3 months.
5. Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score ≥ 60.
6. Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined by the following criteria:

   * Bone marrow reserve: absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L, platelet count ≥ 90×10⁹/L, and hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL (without transfusion or hematopoietic growth factor support within 14 days);
   * Coagulation function: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5×ULN, and international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5×ULN;
   * Hepatic function: total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 1.5×ULN, and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5×ULN; in the presence of liver metastases, ALT and AST ≤ 5×ULN and TBIL ≤ 3×ULN;
   * Renal function: creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula);
   * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%;
   * QTcF interval on electrocardiogram \< 450 ms (males) or \< 470 ms (females).
7. Subjects of reproductive potential (including male subjects) must agree to avoid pregnancy and use effective contraceptive measures with their partners during the study period and for 6 months after the last dose. A negative serum pregnancy test must be confirmed between screening and prior to the first dose.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Any active autoimmune disease, or a history of autoimmune disease requiring systemic steroid therapy, with a daily prednisone dose \> 10 mg or equivalent corticosteroid within 2 weeks prior to study treatment.
2. Uncontrolled seizures, hypertension, or psychiatric disorder at screening.
3. Severe infection occurring within 4 weeks prior to the first dose, including but not limited to complicated infection requiring hospitalization, sepsis, or severe pneumonia; active infection requiring systemic anti-infective therapy within 2 weeks prior to the first dose, except for antiviral therapy for hepatitis B or hepatitis C.
4. Third-space effusion that cannot be effectively controlled by drainage or other measures.
5. Participation in another clinical trial of an investigational drug within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
6. Receipt of any anti-tumor therapy including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, biologic therapy, immunotherapy, radical radiotherapy, or major surgery within 2 weeks prior to enrollment or within 3 half-lives (whichever is shorter).
7. Any other active malignancy within 5 years prior to enrollment. Subjects with other malignancies cured by local therapy (e.g., basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, carcinoma in situ of the cervix) are excepted.
8. Patients with hyperthyroidism are excluded. Subjects with hypothyroidism on a stable dose of thyroid hormone replacement therapy with stable thyroid function (TSH ≤ 10 μIU/mL and no clinical manifestations of hypothyroidism) may be enrolled.
9. Failure to recover from all adverse events due to prior therapy to Grade ≤ 1 (per CTCAE v5.0) or to baseline levels, except for toxicities deemed by the investigator to pose no safety risk (such as alopecia, Grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, hypothyroidism stabilized with hormone replacement therapy, etc.).
10. Any active cardiac disease within 6 months prior to the first dose, including New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IV cardiac dysfunction, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, and/or stroke or other cardiovascular or cerebrovascular events of Grade 3 or higher, or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%.
11. HIV infection, active HBV infection (HBV DNA above the upper limit of normal), or active HCV infection (HCV RNA above the upper limit of normal).
12. Any other serious systemic disease or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would render the subject ineligible for participation in this clinical study.
