Solid Organ CancersPhase 1NCT02714374
GL-ONC1 Administered Intravenously Prior to Surgery to Patients With Solid Organ Cancers
A Phase 1 study testing GL-ONC1 in people with Solid Organ Cancers, run by Andrew Lowy at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the investigational product GL-ONC1. GL-ONC1, a vaccinia virus, has been genetically modified for use as a potential anti-cancer drug to destroy cancer cells. Vaccinia virus has been used successfully in the past as smallpox vaccine in millions of people worldwide. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: An Open Label, Non-randomized Phase 1b Study to Investigate the Safety and Effect of the Oncolytic Virus GL-ONC1 Administered Intravenously Prior to Surgery to Patients With Solid Organ Cancers Undergoing Surgery for Curative-Intent or Palliative Resection
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of the investigational product GL-ONC1. GL-ONC1, a vaccinia virus, has been genetically modified for use as a potential anti-cancer drug to destroy cancer cells. Vaccinia virus has been used successfully in the past as smallpox vaccine in millions of people worldwide.
Read the detailed description
This is an open-label, non-randomized Phase 1b dose escalation study evaluating the safety and effect of the oncolytic virus GL-ONC1 administered intravenously, with or without eculizumab, prior to surgery in patients with advanced solid organ tumors.
GL-ONC1 is a genetically engineered oncolytic vaccinia virus, which disrupts nonessential genes and expression of the foreign gene expression. Evidence suggest that GL-ONC1 is able to infect tumor tissue and kill tumor cells.
The goals of this study are to evaluate the safety of GL-ONC1 and to assess the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics profile of GL-ONC1 in vivo.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing GL-ONC1 in people with Solid Organ Cancers, run by Andrew Lowy 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 9 inclusion and 12 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 6 Aug 2024. 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: Insufficient funding). 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?
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as defined by CTCAE v4.03. (time frame: 2.5 years). 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 6 Aug 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
