INB - 200 was generally well tolerated with no observed infusion reactions , cytokine release syndrome ( CRS ) , neurotoxicity or dose limiting toxicities ( DLTs ) . Enrollment for the second cohort of this trial was initiated . All three treated patients exceeded their expected median progression - free survival based on their respective age and O - 6 - Methylguanine - DNA Methyltransferase ( MGMT ) status .
