About this trial
This is a single-arm, single-center, drug safety assessment clinical trial with a 3+3 dose escalation design, to observe the safety, tolerability and toxicity of a novel oncolytic virus Ad-TD-nsIL12 intratumoral injection in progressive DIPG patients (NCI-CTCAE V5.0).
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Informed consent of the parents or patient.
After surgical resection, biopsy, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, tumor progression must be confirmed by MRI scan.
Biopsy is performed prior to injection of Ad-TD-nsIL12 to confirm DIPG (frozen section-based).
Pre-enrollment patients LPS (patients aged ≥1 and <16 years) and KPS (patients aged ≥16 years) ≥ 50.
Disqualifiers
Serious infections or intercurrent conditions, including but not limited to severe renal failure, liver failure, heart failure, or bone marrow failure, which are not permitted for inclusion according to the investigator's criteria. Patients must be afebrile (<38℃) at the time of viral therapy.
Other investigational medications within 30 days prior to viral treatment.
Participants with immunodeficiency, autoimmune disease, or active hepatitis.
Any medical or psychological condition that might interfere with the patient's ability to participate if older than 16 years or parents ability when younger than 16, or give informed consent or would compromise the patient's ability to tolerate therapy or any disease that will obscure toxicity or dangerously alter drug metabolism.
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Ad-TD-nsIL12
Biological/VaccineAfter stereotactic biopsy, the Ommaya reservoir will be inserted through the biopsy channel and two injections of Ad-TD-nsIL12 will be delivered after surgery by Ommaya reservoir (with an interval of 3days). The interval between following injections in the subsequent treatment period will be 3 weeks ±4 days. The assigned dose for each patient will be 3x10\^9vp, 1x10\^10vp or 3x10\^10 vp suspended in 1 ml NS according to cohort design.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety of Ad-TD-nsIL12 intratumoral injection in progressive pediatric DIPG patients.
The trial will look for possible hematologic and neurologic toxicity of Ad-TD-nsIL12 by NCI-CTCAE v5.0 to determine maximum tolerated dose of this oncolytic adenovirus.
Secondary outcomes
Tumor response
To determine tumor response by RAPNO criteria
Over-all survival
To determine overall survival at 12 months (OS12).
QoL
To measure quality of life baseline assessment and any changes over time by PedsQLTM criteria.
Sample Collection
Pre- and post- treatment tumor tissue will be collected and tested to determine the immune response of patients. Collected blood will be used to test possible hematotoxicity of Ad-TD-nsIL12.
