Trial of THEO-260 (Administered Via Intraperitoneal Route) in Ovarian Cancer Patients

A research study evaluating a new oncolytic virus, THEO-260, in patients with advanced ovarian cancer. The trial will investigate different doses of THEO-260 administered by the intraperitoneal route to identify a dose that is safe, well tolerated, and exhibits preliminary evidence of anti tumour activity.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Inclusion Criteria:
  • Confirmed histological diagnosis of advanced high grade serous or endometrioid cancer of the fallopian tube, primary peritoneum or ovary either on archival biopsy or fresh tumour biopsy.
  • Platinum-resistant or refractory disease: platinum-resistance is defined as radiological progression within 6 months of last cycle of platinum treatment; platinum refractory disease is defined as radiological progression during the 3 months following the first dose with platinum treatment.
  • Life expectancy of > 6 months.
  • ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
  • Measurable disease as per RECIST V1.1.
  • No clinical history of bowel obstruction in past 3 months or no clinical signs or symptoms of bowel obstruction.

Exclusion criteria

  • Prior anti-cancer treatment or Investigational Product within 28 days or 5 half-lives, prior to first dose of THEO-260.
  • Prior treatment with a group B adenovirus.
  • Radiation therapy within 4 weeks of first dose of THEO-260
  • Clinical evidence of cerebral metastases or Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement including leptomeningeal disease. Patients with previous cerebral metastases must have no evidence of progression or haemorrhage after treatment.
  • Uncontrolled pleural effusion or pericardial effusion requiring recurrent drainage procedures (as defined as once monthly or more frequently).
  • Prior pneumonitis or history of interstitial lung disease.
  • Confirmed QTcF ≥470 ms on screening 12-lead ECG or history of Torsades de Pointes or history of congenital long QT syndrome.
  • Concomitant medications that prolong the QTc interval and/or increase the risk for Torsades de Pointes.
  • Patients with active hepatitis infection or hepatitis C. Patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or resolved HBV infection are eligible.
  • Active infection with tuberculosis.
  • Active infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2).
  • Patients with active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known history of HIV infection.
  • Active infection requiring IV antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to first dose of THEO-260, or long-term oral therapy for systemic infection.
  • Known contra-indications or hypersensitivity to the excipients of THEO-260.
  • Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years.
  • Known heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class 2-4.
  • Known contra-indications or hypersensitivity to acetominophen.
  • Known alcohol consumption in excess of 2 units per day.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <45%, unstable angina, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, a myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to trial enrolment or a history of myocarditis.
  • Arterial oxygen saturation <92% on room air prior to first dose of THEO-260.
  • Received any licensed or investigational vaccines within 30 days prior to Day 1

Treatment and study plan

THEO-260

Biological

Oncolytic virus

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability of THEO-260

    Time frame: Until Day 28 after first dose

    Assessment of DLTs and AEs during treatment and follow-up using NCI CTCAE v5.0 or ASCO (for pneumonitis only) or ASTCT (for CRS only), plus Laboratory parameters and clinical safety assessments.

  2. Establish recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for THEO-260

    Time frame: Estimated at 18 months after start of enrolment

    Determination of RP2D will be based on the totality of safety, PK and preliminary efficacy data

Secondary outcomes

  1. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of THEO-260

    Time frame: Estimated at 16 weeks

    Assess PK profile (maximum concentration - Cmax) of THEO-260 in blood by qPCR

  2. Shedding of THEO-260

    Time frame: Until Day 29 after first dose

    Detection of THEO-260 in buccal, urine and faecal samples.

  3. Systemic CRS risk after THEO-260

    Time frame: Until Day 29 after first dose

    Incidence and severity of CRS, measured by key cytokines/biomarkers in blood

  4. Evaluate preliminary efficacy of THEO-260

    Time frame: Estimated at 16 weeks

    Determine tumour response by RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST and changes in CA-125.

  5. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of THEO-260

    Time frame: Estimated at 16 weeks

    Assess PK profile (time to reach maximum concentration - Tmax) of THEO-260 in blood by qPCR

  6. Pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of THEO-260

    Time frame: Estimated at 16 weeks

    Assess PK profile (area under the curve - AUC) of THEO-260 in blood by qPCR
