About this study

Official title: Neoadjuvant Intravesical NIS Measles Virus (MV-NIS) in Patients Undergoing Cystectomy for Urothelial Carcinoma But Ineligible for Neoadjuvant Cisplatin-based Chemotherapy

This is a Phase 1 study designed to test the tolerability and feasibility of intravesical therapy with an attenuated Measles virus (MV-NIS) in patients with urothelial carcinoma who are undergoing radical cystectomy but are ineligible or do not desire neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Read the detailed description

Study VYR-MV1-102 is a Phase 1 study designed to determine the tolerability, feasibility and preliminary efficacy of attenuated MV-NIS virus after neoadjuvant intravesical administration prior to RC in patients with UC who are ineligible for current neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Investigators will use a novel adaptive trial design that varies the time between TURBT, virus administration and RC.

Currently, intravesical administration of BCG is delayed four to six weeks after TURBT to reduce the likelihood of systemic BCG absorption and BCG sepsis. Given this clinical safety precedent, Investigators propose initial patients be treated within one week of RC to maximize the time between TURBT and MV-NIS administration.

Subsequent patients will be treated earlier before RC (up to 29 days prior), thereby reducing the interval between TURBT and virus administration to maximize the treatment duration before RC. An expansion cohort will also be used to test the feasibility, tolerability and efficacy of two repeat MV-NIS doses prior to RC. MV-NIS has been proven safe at a dose of 1x1011 TCID50 intravenously in patients lacking MV immunity (Russell 2014), which allays concern for systemic toxicity after intravesical administration even if post-TURBT administration results in systemic MV-NIS absorption.

Pathologic downstaging and CR (assessed by T0 rate) at surgery are secondary endpoints, designed to give an early indication of efficacy potential. This will facilitate future virotherapy strategies targeting replicative tumor destruction and stimulation of systemic anti-tumor immunity as possible strategies for neoadjuvant and bladder-sparing therapy.

Intravesical MV-NIS therapy prior to radical cystectomyExperimentalMV-NIS will be administered via intravesical instillation as a single dose on Day 1 (7, 14, 21 or 28 days before cystectomy) or two doses on Day 1 and 15 (14 and 28 days before cystectomy).
Receives: Biological: MV-NIS

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of participants with intravesical MV-NIS treatment related adverse events (NCI CTCAE; Version 4.03)

    Assessment of safety and toxicity of intravesical MV-NIS administration in patients with Urothelial Carcinoma undergoing cystectomy

    Measured: 30 days after cystectomy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Pathologic staging at time of cystectomy following intravesical MV-NIS therapy

    Preliminary assessment of antitumor efficacy of intravesical MV-NIS therapy

    Measured: Measured in bladder specimen following cystectomy (up to 29 days following MV-NIS administration)

  2. pT0 rate at time of cystectomy following intravesical MV-NIS therapy

    Preliminary assessment of antitumor efficacy of intravesical MV-NIS therapy

    Measured: Measured in bladder specimen following cystectomy (up to 29 days following MV-NIS administration)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing MV-NIS in people with Urothelial Carcinoma, run by Vyriad, Inc. at 3 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 6 inclusion and 10 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 27 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 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?

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?

Number of participants with intravesical MV-NIS treatment related adverse events (NCI CTCAE; Version 4.03) (time frame: 30 days after cystectomy). 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 27 Jun 2023.
