Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Durvalumab
Treatment: Other - Standard radiotherapy
Other interventions - Bevacizumab

Experimental: Cohort A - Subjects with newly diagnosed unmethylated MGMT GBM receive durvalumab (10 mg/kg Q2W) + standard radiotherapy.

Experimental: Cohort B - Bevacizumab-naïve subjects with recurrent GBM receive durvalumab (10 mg/kg Q2W) as monotherapy.

Experimental: Cohort B2 - Bevacizumab-naïve subjects with recurrent GBM receive durvalumab (10 mg/kg Q2W) + bevacizumab (10 mg/kg Q2W).

Experimental: Cohort B3 - Bevacizumab-naïve subjects with recurrent GBM receive durvalumab (10 mg/kg Q2W) + bevacizumab (3 mg/kg Q2W).

Experimental: Cohort C - Bevacizumab-refractory subjects with recurrent GBM receive durvalumab (10 mg/kg Q2W) + continued bevacizumab (10 mg/kg Q2W).


Treatment: Drugs: Durvalumab
Durvalumab is administered as an IV infusion over 60 ± 5 minutes Q2W.

Treatment: Other: Standard radiotherapy
Focal radiotherapy is administered at 2 Gy given daily 5 days per week for a total of 60 Gy over 30 fractions per local institutional guidelines or local prescribing information. On days when radiotherapy and durvalumab overlap, radiotherapy is administered first followed by durvalumab.

Other interventions: Bevacizumab
Bevacizumab is administered as an IV infusion (per local prescribing information) Q2W. When durvalumab and bevacizumab are administered together (i.e., Cohorts B2, B3, and C), durvalumab is administered first followed by a 1-hour observation period, after which, bevacizumab is infused.

(i.e., chemotherapy; radiation). If the subject had a surgical resection for relapsed
disease and no anti-tumor therapy was administered for up to 12 weeks, and the subject
has further evidence of tumor growth or undergoes another resection, this will be
considered as one episode of recurrence.

3. Cohorts B, B2, B3 and C: On Study Day 1, at least 12 weeks from prior radiotherapy
(unless progressive disease outside of the radiation field or histopathologic
confirmation of unequivocal tumor).

4. Cohorts B, B2, B3: No prior vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)/VEGF receptor
targeted therapy; Cohort C: No more than one prior bevacizumab regimen.

5. Cohorts B, B2, B3 and C: Recovery from any prior treatment clinically significant,
related adverse events to grade = 1 or pretreatment baseline with the exception of
alopecia and laboratory values listed per inclusion criteria.

There should be no core biopsy or other minor surgical procedure, excluding placement
of a vascular access device, within 7 days prior to Study Day 1.

9. Subjects who have previously been treated with the Optuneā„¢ device are eligible for the
study as long as toxicity related to the treatment has resolved to = grade 1 or
baseline.

Summary
Brief summary
This is an ongoing Phase 2, open-label, multicenter, non-randomized study of MEDI4736
(durvalumab) in subjects with glioblastoma (GBM) enrolled into 5 non-comparative cohorts.
Primary study objectives, which vary by cohort due to differences in subject populations,
include evaluation of the clinical efficacy as measured by the overall survival (OS) rate at
12 months (Cohort A), progression-free survival (PFS) at 6 months (Cohorts B, B2, and B3),
and OS at 6 months (Cohort C). For all cohorts, secondary objectives include evaluation of
the safety/tolerability and clinical efficacy of study treatment, and exploratory objectives
include evaluation of the neurologic function and correlative biomarkers.
