About this study

Official title: A Phase 1, Open-Label, Multicenter, Dose Escalation and Expansion Study of ONCR-177, an Oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus for Intratumoral Injection, Alone and in Combination With PD-1 Blockade in Adult Subjects With Advanced and/or Refractory Cutaneous, Subcutaneous or Metastatic Nodal Solid Tumors or With Liver Metastases of Solid Tumors

ONCR-177-101 is a phase 1, open-label, multi-center, dose escalation and expansion study of ONCR-177, an oncolytic Herpes Simplex Virus for intratumoral injection, alone and in combination with PD-1 blockade in adult subjects with advanced and/or refractory cutaneous, subcutaneous or metastatic nodal solid tumors or with Liver Metastases of Solid Tumors. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), as well as to evaluate preliminary efficacy.

Read the detailed description

ONCR-177 is an intratumorally administered oncolytic immunotherapy comprised of a genetically engineered HSV-1 (herpes simplex virus type 1) that selectively replicates in tumor tissue. Oncorus Inc. is developing ONCR-177 both as monotherapy and in combination with PD-1 blockade for the treatment of advanced solid tumor malignancies. This first-in-human (FIH) Phase 1 dose escalation and expansion study will determine the intratumoral dose of ONCR-177 as a monotherapy and in combination with pembrolizumab, in subjects with advanced and/or refractory cutaneous, subcutaneous or metastatic nodal solid tumors or with Liver Metastases of Solid Tumors. This protocol will enroll subjects who have at least one lesion that is visible, palpable or detectable and can be injected, and subjects who have liver metastases of solid tumors. Subjects with any cancer types who are eligible for the trial and have such lesions can be considered for enrollment. Additionally, preliminary evidence for clinical and immunologic activity will be sought to guide ongoing studies and development of ONCR-177 in subjects with cancers that are unmet medical needs. Confirmation of safety of ONCR-177 administration in combination with pembrolizumab will also be evaluated in this study, to enable development as part of combination immunotherapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing ONCR-177 and pembrolizumab in people with Cancer and Melanoma, run by Oncorus, Inc. at 11 sites in 2 countries.

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 12 inclusion and 15 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 8 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 11 sites in United States, Canada. 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: Terminated due to Oncorus portfolio reprioritization). 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?

Percentage of Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: From Day 1 up to 30 days after last dose). The study lists 5 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 NCT04348916, 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 Jun 2023.
