This multi-site Phase II study will enroll adults with histologically confirmed diagnosis of World Health Organization (WHO) Grade IV glioblastoma (GBM), isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)-wildtype consistent with WHO central nervous system (CNS) 2021 criteria who have received prior first-line treatment including with at least radiotherapy and temozolomide, with a Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥60, adequate organ function, and at least one measurable lesion according to the response assessment in neuro-oncology (RANO) 2.0 criteria.
Phase 2 trials begin testing efficacy in a larger patient group (100–300). This is often where biotech binary events occur — positive Phase 2 data can significantly advance a company's pipeline narrative, while failures can be terminal for a program.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
BioNTech SE (BNTX) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company F (20/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
