A Study of CF33-hNIS (VAXINIA), an Oncolytic Virus, as Monotherapy or in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Adults With Metastatic or Advanced Solid Tumors

PHASE1TERMINATED

This is an open-label, dose-escalation, multi-center phase I study evaluating the safety of CF33-hNIS (hNIS - human sodium iodide symporter) administered via two routes of administration, intratumoral (IT) or intravenous (IV), either as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab or mFOLFOX in patients with metastatic or advanced solid tumors.

Study details:

CF33-hNIS, a novel chimeric orthopoxvirus, will be administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab or mFOLFOX to assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment regimens as well as immunological changes in the tumour microenvironment. Patients eligible for treatment in dose escalation IT/IV cohorts include those with any metastatic or advanced solid tumor who have documented radiological progression per RECIST following at least two prior lines of therapy which may have included treatment with an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor(ICI). For expansion IT and IV cholangiocarcinoma cohort patients, one prior line of systemic chemotherapy in metastatic/advanced setting is required and for patients with targetable tumor mutations, must have also received 1 line of an approved targeted therapy.

For expansion IV cholangiocarcinoma cohort, prior treatment with leucovorin calcium, fluorouracil, or oxaliplatin is not permitted. For IT/IV cohorts, patients will be treated with CF33-hNIS on Day 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each cycle thereafter. Patients treated with the combination regimen with pembrolizumab will also receive pembrolizumab Day 1 of each cycle beginning with Cycle 2.

For IV cholangiocarcinoma expansion cohort, patients will be treated with CF33-hNIS on Day 3 and Day 17 of each 28 day cycle along with a modified FOLFOX regimen.
