Gene Electrotransfer to Muscle With Plasmid AMEP in Patients With Disseminated Cancer
Study Overview

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Cohorts of 3 patients will be treated with increasing doses of plasmid AMEP. Up to 12 patients will be treated.
Treatment procedure: Local anesthetic is applied to m. quadriceps femoris (thigh muscle) and the skin. An incision of the skin is performed followed by dissection until the muscle is exposed. The surgical procedure is performed by plastic surgeons.
Plasmid AMEP is injected intramuscularly and immediately followed by application of electric pulses via a needle electrode inserted into the muscle. A combination of one high voltage pulse (700V/cm, 100 µs) followed by one low voltage pulse (80 V/cm, 400 ms) will be applied. The wound is sutured and a dressing is applied. Treatment procedure is estimated to 30 minutes.
All patients are hospitalized for 24 hours after treatment for the purpose of evaluation of vital signs, physical examination, AE and SAE recording and pharmacokinetics sampling (blood and urine).
Blood biochemistry including LDH and CK is taken 24 hours post treatment. ECG will be taken before and after treatment. Patients score discomfort or pain from treated area using VAS.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Safety of the trial treatment
Time Frame: From treatment to last follow up, planned 8 weeks.
|
Safety is evaluated by registration of adverse events (Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events) using the CTCAE criteria version 4.0.
Patients are seen in the out patient clinic once a week during the first month after treatment (at day 8, day 15, day 22, day 29) and 8 weeks after treatment.
If no progression of the disease at 8 weeks, patients are seen at 12 weeks and then every three months until disease progression or death.
|
From treatment to last follow up, planned 8 weeks.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Time Frame: PET/CT scan 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after trial treatment.
|
PET/CT scan will be evaluated using RECIST 1.1 (CT) and PERCIST (PET)
|
PET/CT scan 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after trial treatment.
|
Pharmacokinetics
Time Frame: Pre-dose, 2, 6 and 24 hours after dose, day 8, 15, 22, 29 and 8 weeks after treatment.
|
Measurements of plasma and urine plasmid AMEP concentrations.
Measurements of plasma and urine protein AMEP concentrations
|
Pre-dose, 2, 6 and 24 hours after dose, day 8, 15, 22, 29 and 8 weeks after treatment.
|
Discomfort associated with the treatment procedure
Time Frame: Scoring 'immediately after treatment', '30 min after treatment' '6 hours after treatment' and 'pain in the past 24 hours', and day 8.
|
The patient completes VAS (Visual Analogue Scale) scores pain related to the treatment area at abovementioned time points.
|
Scoring 'immediately after treatment', '30 min after treatment' '6 hours after treatment' and 'pain in the past 24 hours', and day 8.
|
