This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of Actimab-A when given together with cemiplimab (REGN2810) in treating patients with glioblastomas that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Actimab-A consists of the monoclonal antibody lintuzumab combined with the radioactive drug actinium Ac 225. Lintuzumab specifically binds to the cell surface antigen CD33 which is found on the glioblastoma cells and delivers the actinium Ac 225. This may allow the glioblastoma to be found and treated by Actimab-A. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as cemiplimab (REGN2810), may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving Actimab-A with cemiplimab (REGN2810) may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating recurrent glioblastoma.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of actinium Ac 225 lintuzumab (Actimab-A) in combination with cemiplimab (REGN2810) in recurrent glioblastoma. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To observe and record anti-tumor activity. II. To evaluate the impact of baseline tumor mutational burden on response. III. To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of cemiplimab (REGN2810). IV. To evaluate the alpha radiation dosimetry of Actimab-A. EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA) as a predictor for treatment response. II. To evaluate the impact of baseline tumor expression signatures on response. III. To evaluate the correlation of changes in cytokine production and arginase activity with response. IV. To evaluate the impact of combination treatment on peripheral immune cells. V. To correlate adverse events (AEs) with absorbed doses of radiation to organs at risk (OARs) such as the kidneys. OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of Actimab-A in combination with cemiplimab. Patients receive Actimab-A intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on either days 1 and 22 of cycles 1-3, days 1 and 22 of cycles 1 and 2, or days 1 and 22 of cycle 1 and day 1 of cycle 2. Patients also receive cemiplimab IV over 30 minutes on days 1 and 22 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 42 days for up to 3 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Additionally, patients undergo blood sample collection and radiologic imaging throughout the study and positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) on study. Patients may also optionally undergo single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT on study. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 3 weeks, 30 days, and then every 3 months for up to 2 years.

Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs)
DLT is defined as any grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity regardless of supportive care or grade ≥ 4 hematologic toxicity per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 that occurs during the first six (6) weeks after initiating treatment. DLTs per CTCAE version 5.0 will be tabulated for each dose level.
Time frame: Up 6 weeks after initiating treatment
Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)
Will use a Bayesian optimal interval design to find the MTD. Recommended phase 2 dose determination will include both the DLT period for the MTD, as well as consideration of later cycle adverse events (AEs) and the overall safety profile, and available correlatives and will be determined by the study team and Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program collaborators.
Time frame: Up to 18 months
Frequency of AEs
AEs per CTCAE version 5.0 will be tabulated for each dose level.
Time frame: Up to 30 days after last dose of study drug
Objective response rate (ORR)
Treatment response will be assessed for all patients based on Response Assessment in Neuro-Oncology 2.0 (RANO 2.0) criteria: complete response (CR), partial response (PR), stable disease (SD), and progression of disease (PD). ORR is defined as the addition of CR and PR. ORR rate will be calculated by the proportion of evaluable patients with objective response (CR/PR), along with its exact 95% confidence interval (CI).
Time frame: Up to 2 years
Progression free survival
Treatment response will be assessed for all patients based on RANO 2.0 criteria: CR, PR, SD, and PD. Kaplan-Meier estimates will be provided. The corresponding median survival time (with 95% CI) will be determined.
Time frame: From randomization or initiation of treatment to the occurrence of disease progression or death, assessed up to 2 years
Overall survival
Treatment response will be assessed for all patients based on RANO 2.0 criteria: CR, PR, SD, and PD. Kaplan-Meier estimates will be provided. The corresponding median survival time (with 95% CI) will be determined.
Time frame: From date of diagnosis until the patient's death from any cause, assessed up to 2 years
Tumor mutational burden (TMB) (whole exome sequencing [somatic])
Will evaluate the impact of baseline TMB on response. TMB will be evaluated in each patient and correlation assessment will be performed with clinical activity by Spearman's correlation coefficient. Will also use a logistic regression model to test the association between TMB and ORR.
Time frame: At baseline
Trough and post end of infusion concentrations of cemiplimab (REGN2810) in serum
Will evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of cemiplimab (REGN2810). PK exposure values will be reported descriptively.
Time frame: At cycle (C) 1 day (D) 1, C1D22, C2D1, C2D22, C3D1, and C3D22 (Cycle = 42 days)
Absorbed dose estimates (gray) in organs of interest
Will evaluate the alpha radiation dosimetry of Actimab-A. Absorbed dose calculations will be performed following Imaging and Radiation Core guidelines and Medical Internal Radiation Dose Committee methodology, assuming a relative biologic effect of five patients for alpha particles. The absorbed dose estimates to critical organs of each patient at the various administered activity levels will be tabulated using descriptive statistics. A paired T-test, or Wilcoxon signed-rank test if the data is not normally distributed, will be used to detect differences in absorbed dose between time points.
Time frame: At 4 hours, 24, 48, and 168 hours post-actinium Ac 225 lintuzumab (Actimab-A) during C2 (Cycle = 42 days)
