Who cannot join

  • Pregnant and lactating women.
  • Serious non-malignant disease (e.g., congestive heart failure or uncontrolled infections), which, in the opinion of the investigator would compromise study objectives.
  • Major surgery within four weeks other than diagnostic procedures such as laparoscopy, endoscopic ultrasound and stenting or PEG/PEJ placement.
  • Islet cell tumor, benign cyst, peri-ampullary carcinoma or any non-adenocarcinomas.
  • Acute infection. Acute infection is defined by any viral, bacterial, or fungal infection that has required specific therapy within 72 hours of initiation of the study therapy (defined as Day 1).
  • Active HIV disease.
Show all 13Show fewer
  • Previous history of liver disease including hepatitis.
  • Positive serologic test for Hepatitis B or C at baseline.
  • Immunosuppressive therapy including systemic corticosteroids. Use of inhaled and topical corticosteroids is permitted.
  • Serious medical or psychiatric illness or concomitant medication, which, in the judgment of the investigator, might interfere with the subject's ability to respond to or tolerate the treatment or complete the trial.
  • Impaired immunity or susceptibility to serious viral infections.
  • Allergy to any product used on the protocol including ciprofloxacin.

About this study

Official title: Phase I Study Combining Replication-Competent Adenovirus-Mediated Suicide Gene Therapy With Chemoradiotherapy for the Treatment of Non-Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma

The primary purpose of this phase I study is to determine the safety of combining replication-competent adenovirus-mediated suicide gene therapy with chemoradiotherapy in patients with non-metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

The objectives of this study are:

To determine the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus in combination with 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) and valganciclovir (vGCV) prodrug therapy and standard chemoradiation. Fifteen to 30 subjects (5 cohorts of 3 - 6 subjects each) with non-metastatic, unresectable pancreatic cancer will receive a single intratumoral injection of the Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus at one of five dose levels (1 x 10e10 vp, 3 x 10e10 vp, 1 x 10e11 vp, 3 x 10e11 vp, 1 x 10e12 vp) under endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guidance. Beginning three days later, subjects will receive 3 weeks (15 days) of 5-FC and vGCV prodrug therapy concomitant with a 6 week (30 day) course of capecitabine chemotherapy and 54 Gy conformal radiotherapy.

The primary endpoint is toxicity at 12 weeks. Secondary endpoints are: 1) tumor (radiological) response, 2) time to disease progression, 3) survival, 4) persistence of Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenoviral DNA in blood, 5) infectious Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP adenovirus in blood, and 6) HSV-1 TK gene expression in the pancreas.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-ADP in people with Pancreatic Cancer, run by Henry Ford Health System 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?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 13 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jun 2011. 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: Poor enrollment). 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: 12 weeks post adenovirus injection). 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 23 Jun 2011.
