About this study

This study is an open-label, two-arm, balanced-group, single-dose, non-randomized exploration clinical study. A total of 12 patients with HPV-16 Related HSIL of the Cervix will be enrolled and divided into two arms. Participants in Arm 1 receive topically BD114 intraepithelial injection of lesions, and Participants in Arm 2 receive BD114 gel topical application of lesions, with 6 Participants allocated in each arm. Each study arm is further divided into the low-dose subgroup assigned 1 Participant and the high-dose subgroup assigned 5 Participants. The total study duration for each Participant is 40 weeks (including screening stage). The treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) for safe evaluation, components detection of the BD114 for pharmacokinetics (PK) assessment, histologically lesion regression and virologically HPV-16 clearness for efficacy evaluation are observed and explored during follow-up visits.

Treatment and study plan

BD114VLP, or BD114

Genetic

CRISPR/Cas9 instantaneous gene editing therapy, called BD114VLP (also BD114) which is a developing product of gene therapy from modified third-generation integrated defective lentivirus, can deliver gRNA/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP). It works to knock out or knock down HPV-16 E6/E7 genes integrated in HSIL cell genome resulting to lesion clearness or regression.

A single dosing BD114 injection by topical intraepithelial injection of HSIL lesion.

BD114VLP or BD114 plus Gel

Genetic

Genetic: BD114VLP or BD114 plus Gel CRISPR/Cas9 instantaneous gene editing therapy, called BD114VLP (also BD114) which is a developing product of gene therapy from modified third-generation integrated defective lentivirus, can deliver gRNA/Cas9 ribonucleoprotein complex (RNP). It works to knock out or knock down HPV-16 E6/E7 genes integrated in HSIL cell genome resulting to lesion clearness or regression.

Multiple dosing BD114 gel (BD114 injection :Gel, 1:1) topical application on HSIL, one time every other day, total 5 times (D0, D2, D4, D6, and D8) .

Primary outcomes

  1. Adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)

    Time frame: ~36 weeks

    All AEs and SAEs occurring during the study period (from informed consent signing to Week 36 post-BD114 intervention) were recorded and assessed according to the NCI-CTCAE v5.0 grading system, including their classification by System Organ Class (SOC), severity grade, number of affected Participants, and incidence rates. Gynecological AEs (beyond NCI-CTCAE v5.0 specifications) shall be evaluated by investigators for classification and severity grading according to current clinical guidelines/expert consensus.

  2. Percentage of Participants with No Histologic Evidence of HSIL

    Time frame: Week 24, Week 36

    Cervical tissue biopsies obtained at Week 24 and Week 36 undergo histopathological evaluation, and judge the HSIL Clearance by complete regression or disappear of the original lesions, with clearance rates calculated per the following formula:

    Percentage of Participants with No Histologic Evidence of HSIL (%) = Number of Participants Achieving HSIL Clearance / Total number of Participants treated with BD114 ×100%

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants with No Histologic Evidence of HSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16

    Time frame: Week 24, Week 36

    Virological HPV-16 assessment was performed using clinically validated type-specific HPV testing kits, meanwhile colposcopy-guided cervical tissue biopsies are histopathologically evaluated. The calculating formula as follow:

    Percentage of Participants with No Histologic Evidence of HSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16 = Number of Participants with No Histologic Evidence of HSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16 / Total number of Participants treated with BD114 ×100%

  2. Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HPV-16

    Time frame: Week 24, Week 36

    Histological samples (cervical exfoliated cells) is detected for HPV-16 by real-time fluorescent quantifying PCR technology. The calculating formula as follow:

    Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HPV-16 = Number of Participants with No Evidence of HPV-16 / Total number of Participants treated with BD114 ×100%

  3. Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL

    Time frame: Week 36

    Cervical biopsies at Week 36 are performed for histopathological evaluation, no histologically evidence of HSIL or LSIL of histological samples are judged as no histology findings of HSIL or LSIL. The calculating formula as follow:

    Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL = Number of Participants with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL / Total number of Participants treated with BD114 ×100%

  4. Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16

    Time frame: Week 36

    Cervical biopsies at Week 36 are performed for histopathological evaluation, no histologically evidence of HSIL or LSIL of histological samples are judged as no histology findings of HSIL or LSIL. Histological samples (cervical exfoliated cells) is detected HPV-16 by real-time fluorescent quantifying PCR technology.

    Calculation Formula:

    Percentage of Participants with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16 = Number of Participants A with No Evidence of HSIL or LSIL and No Evidence of HPV-16 / Total number of Participants treated with BD114 ×100%

  5. Changes in Serum Inflammatory Cytokine (IL-1/IL-6/TNF-α/IFN-γ) Levels Relative to Baseline

    Time frame: Arm 1: at Day 2, Week 1, Week 2, Week 4, Week 12, Week 24, and Week 36. Arm 2: at Day 10, Day 15, Day 22, Day 36, Week 12, Week 24, and Week 36

    Blood samples were collected and analyzed using clinically validated ELISA kits to quantify serum levels of four inflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α, and IFN-γ).

  6. Concentrations of Cas9 Protein and gRNA in Peripheral Blood

    Time frame: Arm 1: at Day 2, Week 1, Week 4, Week 12. Arm 2: at Day 10, Day 15, Day 36, Week 12

    The concentration of Cas9 protein are tested by ELISA and gRNA are detected by qPCR in blood.

  7. Detection of Anti-p24/Cas9 Protein Antibodies in Peripheral Blood

    Time frame: Arm 1: Week 2, Week 4, Week 36. Arm 2: Day 22, Day 36, Week 36

    The detection of anti-p24/Cas9 protein antibodies in blood are performed at scheduled study visits.

  8. Off-Target Analysis

    Time frame: Arm 1: Week 1. Arm 2: Day 15

    Off-Target analysis of cervical biopsy samples is conducted by applying DNA deep sequencing or whole genome sequencing (WGS) to assess BD114-related off-target effects based on the sequencing results.
