About this study

Official title: A Phase I, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose Escalation Study of Intravenous Administration of VCN-01 Oncolytic Adenovirus With or Without Gemcitabine and Abraxane® in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of VCN-01 either administered alone or in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine, and to determine the recommended phase II dose of VCN-01 alone or in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine.

Read the detailed description

The study consists of three parts:

  • Part I is a dose escalation study to determine the safety and tolerability of a single intravenous injection of VCN-01 alone
  • In Part II the safety and tolerability of the two highest VCN-01 tolerable doses from part I will be evaluated in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine.
  • In Part III the safety and tolerability of the two highest VCN-01 tolerable doses from part I will be evaluated in combination with Abraxane®/Gemcitabine in a "delayed" schedule compared with Part II.
Being tested
VCN-01, Gemcitabine, Abraxane®

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability by means of Adverse Events (AEs) and laboratory data

    Measured: At least 6 months

  2. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) by determination of highest feasible dose (MFD) and any Dose Limiting Toxicities

    Measured: At least 6 months

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Presence of VCN-01 in tumor

    Determination of VCN-01 by analyzing viral genome copies in tumor biopsy

    Measured: Day 8-10

  2. Viral Pharmacokinetics

    Determination of VCN-01 half-life by analyzing viral genome copies in blood

    Measured: Up to 48 h

  3. Viral Shedding

    And at least up to 6 months follow-up in patients at the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Measured: Up to day 28

  4. Neutralizing antibodies anti-VCN-01

    At least up to 6 months follow-up in patients at the MTD

    Measured: 30 days after end of treatment phase

  5. Preliminary anti-tumor activity by Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Measured: CT or MRI scans every 8 weeks until disease progression

  6. Preliminary anti-tumor activity by Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: CT or MRI scans every 8 weeks until disease progression

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing VCN-01, Gemcitabine and Abraxane® in people with Locally Advanced Solid Tumors and Metastatic Solid Tumors, run by Theriva Biologics SL at 5 sites in Spain.

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 8 inclusion and 11 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in Spain. 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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety and Tolerability by means of Adverse Events (AEs) and laboratory data (time frame: At least 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02045602, 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 8 Oct 2020.
