This is a Phase 1, multiple center open label, dose escalation safety study of Ad-hCMV-TK and Ad-hCMV-Flt3L delivered to the peritumoral region after tumor resection. This study will combine direct tumor cell killing (TK) and immune-mediated stimulatory (Flt3L) gene transfer approaches delivered by first generation adenoviral vectors. Treatment with HSV1-TK is expected to kill transduced brain cells, thus exposing tumor antigen. Treatment with Flt3L, a cytokine known to cause proliferation of dendritic cells, should cause the migration of dendritic cells to the peritumoral brain and remaining tumor. There, they will be exposed to tumor antigens released from dying glioma cells through TK + valacyclovir-induced glioma cell death, and thus mediate a specific anti-malignant glioma immune response against remaining malignant glioma cells.
