About this trial

This phase I/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of OH2 as single agent or in combination with HX008, an anti-PD-1 antibody, in patients with malignant solid tumors (gastrointestinal cancers, head and neck cancers, soft tissue sarcomas).

OH2 is an oncolytic virus developed upon genetic modifications of the herpes simplex virus type 2 strain HG52, allowing the virus to selectively replicate in tumors. Meanwhile, the delivery of the gene encoding human granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) may induce a more potent antitumor immune response.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or recurrent/metastatic solid tumors.

The patient must have failed the standard treatment (due to either disease progression or intolerable toxicity) or the standard of care had not been established for the specific condition.

Measurable disease based on Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1.

Eastern Collaborative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status ≤ 1.

Disqualifiers

Uncontrolled concurrent illness including, but not limited to, severe cardiac disease, cerebralvascular disease, uncontrolled diabetes, uncontrolled hypertension, ongoing or active systemic infection, active peptic ulcer disease.

Central nervous system (CNS) metastases with clinical symptoms

Active infection or an unexplained fever > 38.5°C.

Known Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection, active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C infection.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) of OH2 injection as single agent and in combination with HX008 in patients with solid tumors

Primary outcome of phase 1.

Time frame
6 months
2

The maximum-tolerated doses (MTDs) of OH2 injection as single agent and in combination with HX008 in patients with solid tumors

Primary outcome of phase 1.

Time frame
6 months
3

The biodistribution and biologic effect of OH2 injection

Primary outcome of phase 1. The biodistribution of OH2 is evaluated by detection of viral loads in the blood, urine, and saliva. Additionally, the injection sites are swabbed for virus shedding. For the analyses of biologic effects, serum samples are collected for HSV serology assays and assessment of GM-CSF protein and GM-CSF RNA.

Time frame
6 months
4

The anti-tumor activity of OH2 monotherapy and in combination with irinotecan or HX008

Primary outcome of phase 2.

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

The anti-tumor activity of OH2 monotherapy and in combination with HX008

Secondary outcome of phase 1.

Time frame
2 years
2

The immunogenicity of OH2

Secondary outcome of phase 1. The immunogenicity of OH2 is evaluated by detection of anti-GM-CSF antibodies in the blood.

Time frame
2 years
