Clinical Trial Summary

This study is being conducted to explore the immunological mechanism of action of Peptide-coated Conditionally Replicating Adenovirus-1 (PeptiCRAd-1) plus Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) therapy in multiple cancer types, as well as to obtain early information on the safety of this combination therapy.


Description:

This is a Phase I, open-label, non-randomized, first-in-human study. All patients will be pre-treated with a low dose of intravenous (i.v.) Cyclophosphamide (CPO) followed by monotherapy doses of PeptiCRAd-1. Patients will receive a total of 6 doses of PeptiCRAd-1 during the study. PeptiCRAd-1 will be administered by intratumoral (i.t.) injection with priming doses administered on Days 1, 4, and 8, and the first booster dose on Day 15, followed by combination therapy with PeptiCRAd-1 and i.v. CPI (pembrolizumab).

Any prior severe AE according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), severe hypersensitivity reaction attributed to prior anti-PD1 or PDL1 therapy or components of the study intervention or has a history of any contraindication that, in the investigator's opinion, would contraindicate pembrolizumab administration such as: - Resolution of side effect of prior anti-PD1 or PDL1 therapy to Grade 1 - Grade 2 or higher pneumonitis - Grade 4 AST or ALT elevation - Grade 3 or higher colitis attributable to immunotherapy Note: in the absence of clinical symptoms of pancreatitis, elevations of amylase or lipase are not contraindications to therapy on this trial. 12. History of or planned tissue / organ transplant. 13. Females who are pregnant or breast feeding or expecting to conceive within the projected duration of the study starting with the screening visit or males expecting to father children within the projected duration of the study starting with the screening visit. 14. Unwillingness or inability to comply with the study protocol for any reason. 15. Admission to an institution by virtue of an order issued by the judicial or administrative authorities. 16. Sponsor or Contract Research Organization employees, or employees under the direct supervision of the investigator or the investigational sites and/or involved directly in the study. 17. Prior or concurrent malignancy, unless the natural history or treatment of the disease does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Other Measurement of PFS according to RECIST 1.1, itRECIST, and PERCIST 1.0. Progression free survival (PFS) is measured, according to RECIST 1.1, iRECIST, itRECIST, and PERCIST 1.0, and will be presented using the Kaplan-Meier approach. Change from Baseline through study completion, an average of 5 months.
Other Measurement of virus shedding profiles (presence of infective virus and virus DNA in blood, urine, buccal, fecal and injection site swabs by infectivity assay and qPCR). Presence of infective virus (infectivity assay) and virus DNA (quantitative polymerase chain reaction, qPCR) will be measured in blood, urine, buccal, fecal and injection site swabs.
