About this study

Official title: Phase I Trial of Adenoviral Vector Delivery of the Human Interleukin-12 cDNA by Intratumoral Injection in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer to the Liver

RATIONALE: Biological therapy using a gene-modified virus that can make interleukin-12 may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of a gene-modified virus that can make interleukin-12 in treating women with breast cancer that has spread to the liver.

Read the detailed description

Direct intratumoral injection of metastatic hepatic tumors using an adenoviral vector expressing the human recombinant interleukin-12 gene (Adv.RSV-hIL12, also termed ADV-hIL-12).

OBJECTIVES:

  • Study the toxicity of escalating doses of adenoviral vector expressing the human recombinant interleukin-12 gene, administered by percutaneous intratumoral injection, in women with liver metastasis secondary to breast cancer.
  • Determine tumor responses produced by this regimen.
  • Determine immune responses induced by this regimen.
Being tested
adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12
Keywords
stage IV breast cancer, liver metastases
Medical subject headings
Breast Neoplasms, Neoplasm Metastasis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12Biological

    The purified ADV-hIL12 is suspended in formulation buffer (10mM Tris, pH 7.5/

    1mM MgCl2/ 150mM NaCl/ 10% glycerol) and aliquoted into 1ml cryovials. The filled vials are stored at or below -60 degC.

Study groups in NCT00301106
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12Experimentalstarting dose of ADV-hIL12 - 1 x 10 to the 10th power vp (virus particles) per patient, escalating in half-log increments up to 1 x 10 to the 13th power vp per patient, after which dose escalation will be at lower increments of 2 x 10 to the 13th power vp, to a maximum of 3.0 x 10 to the 13th power vp per patient.
Receives: Biological: adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing adenovirus-mediated human interleukin-12 in people with Breast Cancer and Metastatic Cancer, run by Max Sung at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Feb 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: protocol underwent significant revisions, decision made to terminate study and open as new study listed NCT00849459). Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Toxicity (time frame: up to 15 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Feb 2017.
