Trans-Artery/Intra-Tumor Infusion of Checkpoint Inhibitors Plus Chemodrug for Immunotherapy of Advanced Solid Tumors

Study Purpose

This trial was designed to investigate the safety, response rates and survival outcomes of patients with advanced solid tumors by trans-artery/intra-tumor infusion of PD1/PDL1 antibody and/or CTLA4 antibody ipilimumab plus chemotherapeutic drug and to compare their differences.

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.

NCT03755739
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

Malignant solid tumors including lung and liver cancers are the most common malignancy worldwide, and their mortality rates are very high. China has a huge population base, with about 4,000,000 new cases each year. More than 60% of the solid tumors in China are diagnosed at mid-to-late stage and have lost the chance of surgery. Recently a lot of therapeutic strategies have been developed and applied to clinic including targeted therapy and immunotherapy, but the overall efficiency is still low. It is difficult to be widely used in patients with advanced solid cancers, and more alternative therapies are urgently needed. Antibodies against PD1, PDL1 and CTLA4 are representative drugs for the check-points inhibitory agents, and their clinical indications have been approved in various types of tumors, including advanced melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and classical Hodgkin's lymphoma and late recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma patients, et al. Those drugs are regularly systemically administrated by vein infusion, however, local delivery of those drugs via interventional radiology technique including trans-artery or intra-tumor injection may increase the local drug concentration in the tumor, improve the efficacy, and reduce systemic adverse reactions, through so called "first pass effect" of drug on target organs. To the investigator's knowledge, no studies have been developed on the efficacy and survival benefit of localized delivery of checkpoint inhibitors for treatment of cancer patients. This phase II-III clinical trial was designed to compare the effects of Pembrolizumab, Tecentriq, et al and/or ipilimumab plus chemotherapeutic drug such as doxorubicin on the survival benefit of patients with advanced solid cancers, including ORR, DCR, median survival time, and safety.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Pembrolizumab via localized infusion

This group dividied into two subgroups: 1. Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) such as Pembrolizumab ± Ipilimumab is administrated with a dose of 1-2mg/kg via sustained (10min) micro-pump infusion via artery, plus chemotherapy, every 3 weeks. 2. Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) such as Pembrolizumab ± Ipilimumab is administrated with a total dose of 150mg via intra-tumor fine needle injection in 5 min, plus doxorubicin, every 3 weeks.

Active Comparator: Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy via vein infusion

Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) such as Pembrolizumab is administrated with a total dose of 2mg/kg via vein infusion (30 min), plus chemotherpy every 3 weeks.

Interventions

Drug: - Checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) such as Pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy

vein, artery, or intra-tumor infusion of checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) such as Pembrolizumab and/or Ipilimumab, plus chemotherapy to destroy cancer cells and release tumor antigen for improving CPI therapeutic efficacy.
