About this trial
This is Phase I, open label, multi-center clinical trial evaluating an investigational treatment, Adze1.C. Adze1.C is a type of oncolytic virus therapy for adults with advanced Melanoma that have not responded to standard treatments. Oncolytic viruses are designed to infect and destroy cancer cells and have the potential to stimulate the immune system to fight tumors. The purpose of this study is to assess preliminary efficacy, determine the safety of Adze1.C, how well it is tolerated, and to identify the highest dose that can be safely given.
Eligibility criteria

Refractory to, or unsuitable for, standard treatment options as determined by the investigator.
Not a suitable candidate for curative resection.
Disqualifiers
Active systemic infection or fever ≥ 38°C within 5 days prior to Screening

Treatments tested in this trial
Adze1.C
DrugConditionally replicative oncolytic adenovirus expressing CD40L, administered by intratumoural injection in dose escalation cohorts.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs)
Safety will be assessed based on the frequency, nature, and severity of TEAEs, graded per CTCAE v5.0.
Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
Number of participants who experience DLTs during the 5-week period following the seroconversion and escalation doses, per predefined DLT criteria.
Secondary outcomes
Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) determination
RP2D will be determined by the Safety Review Committee (SRC) based on cumulative safety, DLT, and tolerability data from all cohorts.
Detection of viral shedding in bodily fluids
Presence of Adze1.C viral particles will be assessed in serum, saliva, stool, and urine using PCR-based methods.
Objective response rate (ORR)
Proportion of participants with complete or partial response, assessed per iRECIST.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time from first treatment to documented disease progression or death from any cause, per iRECIST.
