September 27, 2018 updated by: VCN Biosciences, S.L.

A Phase I, Multicenter, Open-label, Dose Escalation Study of Intratumoral Injections of VCN-01 Oncolytic Adenovirus With Intravenous Gemcitabine and Abraxane® in Advanced Pancreatic Cancer

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of three intratumoral injections of VCN-01 combined with Abraxane®/gemcitabine, and to determine the recommended phase II dose of VCN-01 combined with Abraxane®/gemcitabine.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Investigational treatment is a dose-escalation regimen consisting of three VCN-01 intratumoral injections (once every 28 days at the same dose) in combination with intravenous Abraxane® and gemcitabine.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Safety and Tolerability by means of Adverse Events (AEs) and laboratory data
Time Frame: At least 6 months
At least 6 months
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of VCN-01 in combination with Gemcitabine and Abraxane® by determination of highest feasible dose (MFD) and any Dose Limiting Toxicities
Time Frame: At least 6 months
At least 6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
