Summary
This is a multicenter study evaluating the safety and tolerability of increasing doses of
Toca 511, a retroviral replicating vector, injected into the resection cavity of subjects
with Grade III or Grade IV Gliomas who have elected to undergo surgical removal of their
tumor. Approximately 6 weeks after injection of Toca 511, subjects will take an oral course
of 5-FC, an antifungal antibiotic. These one week courses of 5-FC will be repeated during
the 31 week study. In some subjects, Toca 511 and Toca FC will also be evaluated with either
of the following standard treatments for glioma: lomustine, a drug approved by the FDA to
treat brain tumors or bevacizumab, an alternative drug approved by the FDA to treat brain
tumors. After completion of this study, all subjects will be eligible for enrollment and
encouraged to be in a long-term continuation protocol that enables additional Toca FC
treatment cycles to be given, as well as permits the collection of long-term safety and
survival data.

Eligibility
Minimum age: 18 Years.
Maximum age: 80 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria (must all be answered "Yes"):
- Has the subject given written informed consent?
- Is the subject between 18 years old and 80 years old inclusive?
- Has the subject had histologically proven HGG with recurrence or progression
following initial definitive therapy(s) such as surgery with or without adjuvant
radiation therapy and/or chemotherapy (confirmed by diagnostic biopsy or
contrast-enhanced MRI and evaluable by Macdonald criteria)? Note if first recurrence
of GBM is documented by MRI, an interval of at least 12 weeks after the end of prior
radiation therapy is required unless there is either: i) histopathologic confirmation
of recurrent tumor, or ii) new enhancement on MRI outside of the radiotherapy
treatment field.
- Does the subject have a single, HGG tumor recurrence/progression that is ≤ 5 cm in
its greatest dimension?
- Based on the pre-operative evaluation, is the tumor recurrence/progression a
candidate for ≥ 80% resection?
- Has the subject elected not to undergo treatment with the Gliadel® wafer?
- Does the subject have a Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70?
- Does the subject have an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1500/mm3?
- Does the subject have an absolute lymphocyte count ≥ 500/mm3?
- Does the subject have a platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3?
- Does the subject have a Hgb ≥ 10 g/dL?
- Does the subject have a normal PT/PTT? (subnormal PT/PTT acceptable)
- Does the subject have an estimated glomerular filtration rate of at least 50 mL/min
(inclusive) by the Cockcroft-Gault formula?
- Does the subject have an ALT < 3 times the upper limit of the laboratory reference
range and total bilirubin < 1. 5 mg/dL?
- If the subject is a female of childbearing potential, has she had a negative serum
pregnancy test within the past 21 days?
- Is the subject willing to use condoms for contraception for 6 months after receiving
Toca 511 or until there is no evidence of the virus in his/her blood, whichever is
longer. If the subject is a fertile female, is she willing to use contraception for
at least 12 months?
- Is the subject willing and able to abide by the protocol?
Exclusion Criteria (must all be answered "No"):
- Has the subject received cytotoxic chemotherapy within the past 3 weeks (6 weeks for
nitrosoureas) of the planned surgery date?
- Does the subject have, or has the subject had, within the past 4 weeks any infection
requiring antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral therapy?
- Has the subject had a surgical procedure in the last 28 days or a surgical wound that
is not healed?
- Does the subject have any bleeding diathesis, or must the subject take any
anticoagulants, or antiplatelet agents, including NSAIDs that cannot be stopped for
surgery?
- Does the subject have a history of allergy or intolerance to flucytosine?
- Is the subject HIV positive?
- Does the subject have any gastrointestinal disease that would prevent him or her from
being able to ingest or absorb flucytosine?
- Has the subject received any investigational treatment within the past 30 days?
- Is the subject breast feeding?
- Has the subject received Avastin® (bevacizumab) for this recurrence/progression, or
within the past 5 weeks?
- Does the patient have a history of prior malignancy, excluding basal or squamous cell
carcinoma of the skin, with an expected survival of less than five years?
