About this study

Official title: A Phase I Study Evaluating the Safety, Tolerability, Biodistribution and Shedding of the Virus, Pharmacodynamics, Immunogenicity, and Antitumor Activity of GC001 Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Injection in Patient With Advanced Solid Tumors.

The present trial is an open, single-arm phase I clinical study aimed at assessing the safety, tolerability, viral distribution and shedding patterns, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and antitumor efficacy of GC001 oncolytic virus injection in patients with advanced solid tumors following a single administration.

Read the detailed description

The main objective of this study is:

To evaluate the safety and tolerability i.e. dose limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MFD) of GC001 injection in patients with advanced solid tumors.

The ongoing trial is structured as an open, single-arm Phase I clinical study. The initial phase of the study, Part I, utilizes a 3+3 design to meticulously evaluate the escalation of the dose of GC001. The total enrollment of participants will be determined by the observed toxicity levels and the extent of dose cohorts explored, with an anticipated enrollment ranging from 21 to 36 eligible individuals. A critical 28-day period post-administration has been established for the observation of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) to ensure participant safety. It is essential to maintain this standardized 28-day observation window for all enrolled groups to uphold the highest safety standards.

The secondary aims of this investigation are to assess the biodistribution and shedding of the virus, the pharmacodynamic characteristics, immunogenicity, and the initial antitumor efficacy of the GC001 injection in patients suffering from advanced solid tumors. These objectives are integral to understanding the broader impact and potential of the treatment in this patient population.

Following the completion of the DLT assessment for all participants within each dose cohort, the SMC may decide whether to proceed with dose escalation, explore intermediate/higher doses, or terminate the dose escalation study based on the data obtained on safety, tolerability, biodistribution, and shedding of the virus (if any), pharmacodynamics (if any), immunogenicity (if any), and antitumor activity (if any). The SMC may also decide to adjust doses, administration schedules, and the time of biospecimen collection.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Part 1: Dose EscalationExperimentalThe study consists of a total of six dose groups, with the lowest dose group being 3×10^6 and the highest dose reaching 1×10^9 PFU. In case the maximum dose of 1×10^9 PFU fails to achieve the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), the Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC) will convene to discuss whether to designate it as Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) or consider escalating further based on current safety and preliminary efficacy data. However, any escalation beyond that of similar drugs' Phase I clinical trials, such as JX-594:NCT00629759 and JX-929:NCT00574977, where the highest administered dose was 3×10^9 PFU, shall be avoided. This precaution ensures adherence to established safety protocols. A single dose of GC001 will be administered up to 4mL (The injection volume is based on the length of the lesion).

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluate the safety and tolerability of GC001

    Number of participants in dose escalating cohorts with dose limiting toxicities (DLTs),treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), and/or changes in clinical laboratory abnormalities.

    Measured: DLT Observation Period,Up to 28 days from GC001 injection

  2. Maximal tolerable dose

    During the DLT observation period, the number of cases with DLT is less than or equal to the maximum dose of 1/6 of the total number of cases, and six evaluable participants are required to determine MTD.

    Measured: DLT Observation Period,Up to 28 days from GC001 injection

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Anti-tumor activity of GC001: overall response rate (ORR).

    To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) as a measurement of tumor response and disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Anti-tumor activity of GC001: duration of response (DOR).

    To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) as a measurement of tumor response and disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 2 years from GC001 injection

  3. Anti-tumor activity of GC001:progression-free survival (PFS).

    To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) as a measurement of tumor response and disease progression.

    Measured: Up to 2 years from GC001 injection

  4. Evaluate the viral biological distribution and shedding of GC001

    Viral biodistribution and shedding analysis for GC001 injection are performed based on the viral Biodistribution and shedding Analysis Set (BVSS). Biological collection samples include blood, urine, throat swabs, injection site and injection site dressing samples (for tumor injection at the percutaneous puncture site only),and determination of viral DNA copy number in the above samples.

    Measured: Up to 2 years from GC001 injection
