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

  • Histologically proven (biopsy or cytology) metastatic pancreatic adenocarcinoma.
  • Age ≥ 18 years.
  • No prior treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or biological therapy) for the study cancer.
  • Zubrod performance score of 0 - 2 within 30 days of registration.
  • Subjects must have adequate baseline organ function, as assessed by the following laboratory values, within 30 days before initiating the study therapy:
  • Adequate renal function with serum creatinine ≤ 1.8 mg/dL or creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min/m2.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Absolute neutrophil count > 1,000/μL.

Who cannot join

  • Pregnant and lactating women.
  • Clinical or laboratory evidence of pancreatitis, based on discretion of treating physician.
  • Serious non-malignant disease (e.g., congestive heart failure or uncontrolled infections), which, in the opinion of the investigator would compromise study objectives.

  • 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).
Show all 12Show 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.
  • Impaired immunity or susceptibility to serious viral infections.
  • Allergy to any product used on the protocol.
  • 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.

About this study

Official title: PHASE 1 TRIAL OF ONCOLYTIC ADENOVIRUS-MEDIATED CYTOTOXIC AND IL-12 GENE THERAPY IN COMBINATION WITH CHEMOTHERAPY FOR THE TREATMENT OF METASTATIC PANCREATIC CANCER

This phase 1 trial will investigate the toxicity of combining interleukin 12 gene therapy with standard chemotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

This protocol proposes a phase 1 trial combining oncolytic adenovirus-mediated cytotoxic and IL-12 gene therapy with chemotherapy in metastatic pancreatic cancer. Nine subjects (3 cohorts, 3 subjects/cohort) with metastatic pancreatic cancer will receive a single intratumoral injection of the oncolytic Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-hIL12 adenovirus at one of three dose levels (cohort 1- 1 x 1011 vp, cohort 2- 3 x 1011 vp, cohort 3- 1 x 1012 vp). Depending on the location of the target lesion, the adenovirus will be injected either through the stomach or duodenal wall using endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guidance. Two days later, subjects will be administered (orally) 7 days of 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC) prodrug therapy. Fourteen days after completion of the 5-FC prodrug therapy course, subjects will be administered chemotherapy at the discretion of the treating physician. On an optional basis, subjects will be administered [18F]-FHBG, a HSV-1 TK substrate, and will undergo PET imaging to quantify the intensity, persistence, and biodistribution of HSV-1 TK gene expression in the pancreas.

The primary endpoint is toxicity at day 21. A secondary endpoint is rates of ≥ grade 3 CTCAE adverse events. Exploratory endpoints include 1) intensity, persistence, and biodistribution of HSV-1 TK gene expression, and 2) association of immunological measurements (i.e., cytokine levels, NK cytolytic activity) with toxicity and clinical outcome.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Ad5-yCD/mutTKSR39rep-hIL12 in people with Metastatic 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 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Mar 2022. 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 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?

Toxicity of the gene therapy (time frame: 21 days). 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 2 Mar 2022.
