Study of Recombinant Adenovirus AdVince in Patients With Neuroendocrine Tumors; Safety and Efficacy

Study Purpose

An open-labelled, uncontrolled, single-center Phase I/IIa clinical study to evaluate the safety of repeated infusions of AdVince into the hepatic artery in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and if possible determination of maximum tolerated dose.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT02749331
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

An open-labelled, uncontrolled, single-center Phase I/IIa clinical study to evaluate the safety of repeated infusions of AdVince into the hepatic artery in patients with metastatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and if possible determination of maximum tolerated dose. Secondary objectives include to evaluate the anti-tumoral efficacy of AdVince infusions on metastatic neuroendocrine tumors, to determine the replication profile of AdVince and to determine the humoral (antibody) and cytokine-mediated immune response to AdVince. Minimum 12 and maximum 35 patients will be included, the number is based on the toxicity observed.
