What this study is testing

What is D2C7-IT?

D2C7-IT is an investigational medicine, given as an injection under the skin, being studied as a potential treatment for glioma, malignant.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a phase 1 study of an anti-CD40 monoclonal antibody (2141-V11) in combination with D2C7-IT for patients with recurrent World Health Organization (WHO) grade III or IV malignant glioma at the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center (PRTBTC) at Duke.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
