Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Patients must have a histologically confirmed solid tumor (including carcinoid) with neuroendocrine features (i.e., expression of >= 1 of the following 3 markers: synaptophysin, chromogranin A, or CD56) that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective.
  • Patients must show evidence of disease progression in the three months prior to treatment with SVV-001.
  • Age >= 18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of SVV-001 in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study. Children may be eligible for future pediatric Phase I single-agent trials.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
  • Life expectancy >= 24 weeks.
  • Adequate bone marrow, hepatic, and renal function as defined below:
Show all 18Show fewer
  • absolute lymphocyte count >= 1,000/ul
  • absolute neutrophil count >= 1,500/ul
  • platelets >= 100,000/ul
  • AST/ALT <= 2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or <= 5 x ULN if liver metastases present
  • total bilirubin <= 1.5 x upper limit of normal
  • creatinine <= 1.5 x upper limit of normal OR
  • creatinine clearance (calculated) <= 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 for patients with creatinine > 1.5 x upper limit of normal.
  • Women must have been surgically sterilized or be post-menopausal.
  • Men must agree to use adequate contraception (barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry and for up to 6 months.
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

  • Patients must have measurable disease by RECIST (CT and/or MRI).

Who cannot join

  • Patients with small cell histology.
  • Patients who have been hospitalized for emergent conditions requiring inpatient evaluation, treatment or procedure during the 30 days prior to entry on study. In addition, emergent conditions requiring inpatient evaluation, treatment or procedure must have resolved or be medically stable and not severe for 30 days prior to entry on study.
  • Use of chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks of initiation of SVV-001, or continued > Grade 1 adverse events, excluding alopecia, due to agents administered more than 4 weeks earlier.
  • Patients with clinically evident Human Immuno-deficiency Virus (HIV), Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) or Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection.
  • Patients with > Grade 1 peripheral neuropathy (CTCAE version 3.0).
  • Concurrent use of any other investigational agents.

  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
  • Pre-menopausal women who have not been surgically sterilized. Although SVV-001 has no affect on the ovaries from a toxicological perspective, SVV-001 RNA is present in the ovaries at 12 weeks in animals that were administered high and medium doses.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of Seneca Valley Virus (SVV-001), a Replication-Competent Picornavirus, in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors With Neuroendocrine Features

The primary purpose of the study is to determine if Seneca Valley Virus may be administered safely to patients with certain types of advanced cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is the first study in man of Seneca Valley Virus, a virus which seeks and kills certain tumors in non-human model systems. Subjects in this trial will be patients with advanced cancer displaying certain specified neuroendocrine features, pathologically; they will have exhausted standard methods of treatment for their tumor. The primary purpose of the trial is to determine if the virus may be administered safely. Additional purposes are to learn about the distribution of the virus in the body, the elimination of the virus from the body, the immune response to the virus and whether the virus might have some beneficial effects upon the tumors which the patients have. The first patients will be treated with low amounts of virus and subsequent patients may receive higher amounts. At the end of the trial, it is intended to select a dose for further study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Seneca Valley Virus (biological agent) in people with Carcinoid and Neuroendocrine, run by Neotropix at 10 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 18 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites 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?

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?

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity and determination of phase II dose (time frame: Within 28 days of treatment administration). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00314925, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Feb 2010.
