A Study to Evaluate Safety, Efficacy of Intralesional Injection of STP705 in Patients With isSCC
- Conditions
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma in Situ
- Interventions
- Other: Placebo Saline
- Registration Number
- NCT04844983
- Lead Sponsor
- Sirnaomics
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this trial is to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of various doses of STP705 administered as intralesional injection in subjects with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (in situ) skin cancer (isSCC).
- Detailed Description
This is a two-part, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of various doses of STP705 administered as an intralesional injection in subjects with isSCC.
A total of up to 100 eligible subjects will be enrolled. Enrolled subjects will be randomly allocated to receive STP705 or placebo injection once weekly for 6 weeks.
After 6 weeks, the lesion will be excised.
In part 1 (dose ranging study): 40 subjects will be randomized to receive 1 of the 3 STP705 doses or placebo.
An interim analysis will be done after all subjects have completed end of treatment (EOT) visits to determine 2 selected dose levels of STP705 to be used in part of the study.
In part 2: 60 additional subjects will be randomized to receive 1 of the 2 selected doses (from part 1) or placebo.
In both parts at the End of Treatment (EOT), the lesion will be excised.

- No other dermatological disease in the isSCC target site or surrounding area, which in the opinion of the investigator, could interfere with the study.
- Willing to refrain from using non-approved lotions or creams on the target site and surrounding area during the treatment period.
- Willing to refrain from exposure to excessive direct sunlight or ultraviolet light and to avoid the use of tanning parlors for the duration of the study.
- Laboratory values for the tests (listed in the Study Schedule) within the reference ranges as defined by the central laboratory, or "out of range" test results that are clinically acceptable to the investigator.
- Ability to follow study instructions and likely to complete all study requirements.
- Written informed consent obtained, including consent for tissue to be examined and stored by the Central Histology Lab.
- Written consent to allow photographs of the target isSCC lesion to be used as part of the study data and documentation.

- Pregnant, lactating, or planning to become pregnant.
- Presence of known or suspected systemic cancer.
- Histological evidence of severe squamous metaplasia, infiltrative, desmoplastic or micronodular growth patterns in the biopsy specimen.
- History of recurrence of the target isSCC lesion.
- Concurrent disease or treatment that suppresses the immune system.
- Patients with baseline QTC > 480 msec using Frederica's formula.
- Chronic medical condition that in the judgment of the investigator(s) would interfere with the performance of the study or would place the patient at undue risk.
- Known sensitivity to any of the ingredients in the study medication including an allergy to trehalose.
- Use of a tanning bed or other excessive or prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light or direct sunlight during the study.
- Treatment with systemic chemotherapeutic agents within the 6 months prior to the screening visit.
- Use of systemic retinoids within the 6 months prior to the screening period.
- Treatment with systemic immunomodulators or immunosuppressants within the 6 months prior to the screening period.
- Use of topical immunomodulators within 2 cm of the target isSCC lesion within the 4 weeks prior to the screening period.
- Treatment with the following topical agents within 2 cm of the target isSCC lesion within the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit: aminolevulinic acid, 5-fluorouracil, corticosteroids, retinoids, diclofenac, ingenol mebutate, or imiquimod.
- Treatment with liquid nitrogen, surgical excision or curettage within 2 cm of the target isSCC lesion during the 4 weeks prior to the screening visit.
- Evidence of current chronic alcohol or drug abuse.
- Current enrollment in an investigational drug or device study or participation in such a study within 4 weeks of the screening visit.
- In the investigator's opinion, evidence of unwillingness, or inability to follow the restrictions and requirements of the protocol and complete the study.
