A Clinical Study of GO321 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors

Starting soon · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Solid Tumor Malignancies

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and tolerability of GO321 recombinant oncolytic virus injection, and if GO321 recombinant oncolytic virus injection works to treat advanced solid tumors in adults whose cancers have progressed after standard-of-care therapy. It will also learn about the pharmacokinetic features, viral shedding, immunogenicity of GO321, immune markers, and genomic and proteomic changes in patients. The main questions it aims to answer are: What safety issues and tolerability limitations do participants experience when receiving GO321 via intratumoral or intracavitary injection? Does GO321 have preliminary anti-tumor efficacy against advanced solid tumors resistant to standard treatment? What changes take place in viral distribution, viral shedding, immunity, blood immune markers, tumor or blood genomics and proteomics after GO321 administration? Researchers will assess different doses and dosing schedules of GO321 given by intratumoral or intracavitary injection across two study phases to find a suitable administration dose and regimen and verify the study endpoints. Participants will: Receive either a single injection of GO321 at different dose levels (in Part 1) or repeated GO321 injections at the recommended Phase 2 dose (in Part 2) by intratumoral or intracavitary routes; Complete scheduled hospital visits to undergo laboratory tests, imaging examinations and biological sample collection; Have their safety indicators, anti-tumor response, viral parameters, immune indicators and molecular profiles tracked throughout the study.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Age 18 years old and above, regardless of gender.
• Histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced malignant solid tumors that are refractory to or have failed standard therapy (including disease progression and/or intolerance to toxicity), or for which no standard therapy is available.
• For patients with malignant ascites secondary to malignant tumors (e.g., ovarian cancer, gastrointestinal solid malignancies) who are planned to receive intracavitary injection, the following criteria must be met:
• a. Malignant ascites is determined by the investigator to be caused by cancer cell dissemination, and not complicated by ascites due to other etiologies;
• b. Recurrence of ≥ Grade 2 ascites within 4 weeks after at least one prior local therapy (including paracentesis, intraperitoneal chemotherapy, peritoneovenous shunt, hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, etc.);
• c. Large-volume peritoneal effusion confirmed by computed tomography (CT) or ultrasound, with a clinical indication for local therapeutic intervention targeting the ascites.
• Patients scheduled for intratumoral injection must meet the following requirements: At least one evaluable lesion confirmed by local imaging per RECIST v1.1 that is amenable to intratumoral injection. A lesion suitable for intratumoral injection (with or without CT/ultrasound guidance) is defined as a palpable mass or a mass visible by CT/ultrasound that can be injected under CT/ultrasound guidance, located in the skin, subcutaneous tissue, or deep-seated regions, with a longest diameter ≥ 1.0 cm (or short axis ≥ 1.5 cm if a lymph node), and deemed appropriate for intratumoral injection by the investigator. If the injection site has been previously irradiated, eligibility may be considered after discussion with the sponsor.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤2.
• Expected survival time ≥3 months.
• Study participants had adequate organ function at screening/baseline, and the laboratory indicators met the following criteria:
• a. Hematopoietic system (no previous blood transfusion or hematopoietic stimulating factor therapy within 14 days) : absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.5E+09/L; Hemoglobin (Hgb) ≥90g/L; Platelet count (Plt) ≥75E+09/L.
• b. Liver function: serum total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5×ULN, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3×ULN, with liver metastasis TBIL≤3×ULN, ALT and AST≤5×ULN; Serum albumin ≥2.8 g/dL (Subjects may receive albumin supplementation to meet these laboratory criteria).
• c. Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN or creatinine clearance (according to Cockroft-Gault formula) >50mL/min.
• d. Coagulation: international normalized ratio (INR) ≤1.5, activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤1.5×ULN.
• Study participants were willing and able to comply with protocol requirements for the duration of the trial, including but not limited to receiving treatment, use effective contraception throughout trial participation and for 6 months after the last study drug administration, and undergoing regular follow-up and examinations.

You may not qualify if…

• Female participants who were pregnant or lactating.
