About this study

This is a phase II study of OBP-301 with pembrolizumab in advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has progressed on at least 2 lines of prior therapy for advanced disease.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase II study of OBP-301 with pembrolizumab in advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma that has progressed on at least 2 lines of prior therapy for advanced disease. Pembrolizumab has recently received FDA approval for PD-L1 positive gastric and GEJ adenocarcinoma based on the Keynote-059 study. The efficacy of pembrolizumab monotherapy is modest in PD-L1 positive patients (defined as a combined positive score, CPS, of > 1), with only a ~15% overall response rate. This study will examine the addition of the oncolytic virus, OBP-301, administered prior to pembrolizumab in this patient population. Patients will be enrolled in a two-stage design, with 18 patients in the first stage. All patients will receive OBP-301 at 2x1012 viral particles (VP)/ tumor injection administered every two weeks x 4 injections as well as standard dose pembrolizumab 200 mg IV every 3 weeks. The tumor will be injected with OBP-301 four times (d1, d15, d29, d43). The preference is to inject the primary tumor endoscopically. Metastatic lesions may be injected on a case-by-case basis after discussion with the PI (Shah). All patients treated with OBP-301 will be eligible for the safety cohort.

Primary Endpoints:

  • To examine the efficacy of OBP-301 with pembrolizumab in PD-L1 positive advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinoma in the 3rd or 4th line setting, as assessed by the RECIST response rate.
  • To examine the safety of multiple OBP-301 intratumoral injections in combination with pembrolizumab in advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinoma.

Secondary Endpoint:

  • To examine other measures of efficacy of the combination of OBP-301 with pembrolizumab in advanced gastric and esophageal adenocarcinoma including the disease control rate, duration of response, overall survival and progression free survival.

What is being measured

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

  1. Overall Response Rate, as Assessed by Radiographic Imaging

    The examination of patients with a partial or complete response is reported as the number of patients who achieved either a complete or partial response (CR + PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Per RECIST v1.1, for target lesions assessed by MRI or CT Chest Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast, a Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions, and a Partial Response (PR) is a ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) is defined as the sum of CR and PR.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Disease Control Rate, as Assessed by Radiographic Imaging

    Examination of subjects with stable disease, a partial response, or complete response reported as the number of participants who maintained stable disease, partial response, or complete response as per iRECIST through 1 year (SD + PR + CR). The examination of patients with a partial or complete response is reported as the number of patients who achieved either a complete or partial response (CR + PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Per RECIST v1.1, for target lesions assessed by MRI or CT Chest Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast, a Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions, and a Partial Response (PR) is a ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) is defined as the sum of CR and PR.

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Duration of Response, as Assessed by Radiographic Imaging

    Defined as the duration that subjects who have responded to combination therapy remain without disease progression. The examination of patients with a partial or complete response is reported as the number of patients who achieved either a complete or partial response (CR + PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Per RECIST v1.1, for target lesions assessed by MRI or CT Chest Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast, a Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions, and a Partial Response (PR) is a ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) is defined as the sum of CR and PR.

    Measured: 2.5 years

  3. Overall Survival Rate, as Assessed by Survival

    Defined as the number of participants who survived until 1 year from enrollment

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Progression Free Survival Rate, as Assessed by Radiographic Imaging and Survival.

    The number of participants who did not progress as determined by iRECIST, or die by 1 year. The examination of patients with a partial or complete response is reported as the number of patients who achieved either a complete or partial response (CR + PR) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1). Per RECIST v1.1, for target lesions assessed by MRI or CT Chest Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast, a Complete Response (CR) is the disappearance of all target lesions, and a Partial Response (PR) is a ≥30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions. Overall Response (OR) is defined as the sum of CR and PR.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Telomelysin in people with Esophagogastric Adenocarcinoma, run by Weill Medical College of Cornell University 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 18 inclusion and 16 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 25 Jun 2024. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jun 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Overall Response Rate, as Assessed by Radiographic Imaging (time frame: 1 year). 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 25 Jun 2024.
