简要总结
Background:
Gastrointestinal cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Researchers think an unmet need exists to understand and improve treatment options. They want to see if a combination of drugs can help people with metastatic colorectal cancer.
Objective:
To see if using a combination of Vascular Biogenics (VB)-111 and nivolumab is safe and will cause colorectal tumors to shrink.
Eligibility:
People ages 18 and older with microsatellite stable colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver
Design:
Participants must consent to sample collection protocol 11C0112.
Participants will be screened with:
Blood tests
Scans
Tumor samples. If these are not available, participants will have a biopsy.
Before they start treatment and with every treatment cycle, participants will have:
Physical exams
Blood tests
Heart tests
Before they start treatment and every 4 cycles, participants will have computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. For these, they will lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. For the MRI, a soft padding or coil will be placed around their head.
Participants will have biopsies before they start therapy. They will have them again after 2 6 weeks on study.
On day 1 of 14-day cycles, participants will get one or both study drugs by vein.
After they finish treatment, participants will have monthly visits for 3 months. They will have a physical exam and blood tests.
If participants stop treatment for reasons other than their disease getting worse, they will have scans about every 8 weeks. This will continue until their disease gets worse.
Participants will be contacted by phone or email every 6 months. This will continue for life.

详细描述
Background:
- Immune based approaches in gastrointestinal (GI) cancers have unfortunately- with the notable exception of immune checkpoint inhibition in microsatellite instable (MSI-H) disease and gastric cancer-been largely unsuccessful. The reasons for this are unclear but no doubt relate to the fact that in advanced disease GI cancer appears to be less immunogenic, as evidenced by the lack of infiltrating lymphocytes with advancing T stage as well as an immunosuppressive tumor micro-environment.
- Vascular Biogenics (VB)-111 is an anti-angiogenic agent comprising of a nonreplicating E1 deleted adenovirus type 5 which contains a modified murine preproendothelin (PPE) promoter and Fas-chimera transgene
- VB-111 has been tested and shows promise in glioblastoma, ovarian and thyroid tumors
- Nivolumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1).
- The aim of this study is to study the effects of VB-111 in colorectal cancer (CRC) and to evaluate whether the antitumor immunity induced by VB-111 therapy can be enhanced by PD-1 inhibition.
Objectives:
- To determine the safety and tolerability of VB-111 in combination with nivolumab in patients with refractory, metastatic CRC
- To determine Best Overall Response (BOR) (partial response (PR) + complete response (CR)) according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST v1.1) of combined treatment of VB-111 and nivolumab in patients with refractory, metastatic CRC.

- •Patients who have had anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
- •Patients currently on a corticosteroid dose greater than physiologic replacement dosing defined as 10 mg of cortisone per day or its equivalent.
- •Patients with known brain metastases because of their poor prognosis and because they often develop progressive neurologic dysfunction that would confound the evaluation of neurologic and other adverse events.
- •Patients with signs of liver failure, e.g., clinically significant ascites, encephalopathy, or variceal bleeding within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- •Prior major liver resection: remnant liver <50% of the initial liver volume. Patients with a biliary stent can be included.
- •Patients with active autoimmune disease or history of autoimmune disease that might recur, which may affect vital organ function or require immune suppressive treatment including systemic corticosteroids. These include but are not limited to patients with a history of immune related neurologic disease, multiple sclerosis, autoimmune (demyelinating) neuropathy, Guillain-Barre syndrome or Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP), myasthenia gravis; systemic autoimmune disease such as Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), connective tissue diseases, scleroderma, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, hepatitis; and patients with a history of toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), Stevens-Johnson syndrome, or phospholipid syndrome. Such diseases should be excluded because of the risk of recurrence or exacerbation of disease.
- •Of note, patients with vitiligo, endocrine deficiencies including thyroiditis managed with replacement hormones including physiologic corticosteroids are eligible. Patients with rheumatoid arthritis and other arthropathies, Sjogren's syndrome and psoriasis controlled with topical medication and patients with positive serology, such as antinuclear antibodies (ANA), anti-thyroid antibodies should be evaluated for the presence of target organ involvement and potential need for systemic treatment but should otherwise be eligible.
- •History of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (including bronchiolitis obliterans with organizing pneumonia) or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography (CT) scan.
- •Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations (within timeframes identified in the bullets below) that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- •History of severe or unstable cerebrovascular disease.
- •Pulse oximetry < 92% on room air
- •Myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to enrollment
- •History of myocarditis
- •Sustained hypotension (<90/50 mmHg) or uncontrolled hypertension (>160/100 mmHg)

- •Evidence of a bleeding diathesis or significant coagulopathy (in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation)
- •History of abdominal fistula or gastrointestinal perforation within 6 months prior to enrollment.
- •Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive patients are excluded because HIV causes complicated immune deficiency and study treatment can possess more risks for these patients.
- •Prior autologous or allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant.
- •Subjects with ascites.
- •Patients with unhealed surgical wounds for more than 30 days.
- •History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to nivolumab or VB-
- •History of severe hypersensitivity reaction to any monoclonal antibody.

结局指标
主要结局
Number of Participants With Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, and/or Grade 5 Adverse Events That Are Possibly, Probably and/or Definitely Related to Drug
时间窗: 90 days after treatment
Adverse events were assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE)v5.0. Grade 1 is mild, Grade 2 is moderate, Grade 3 is severe, Grade 4 is life-threatening, and Grade 5 is death related to adverse event.
Best Overall Response (BOR)
时间窗: Follow up visits are planned to be performed at 60 (+/- 14 days) and 90 (+/- 14 days) days after treatment discontinuation to evaluate patient's safety, up to 6 months.
Best overall response is defined as the best response recorded from the start of the treatment until disease progression/recurrence (taking as reference for progressive disease the smallest measurements recorded since the treatment started) assessed by the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST)v1.1. Complete Response (CR) is disappearance of all target lesions. Partial Response (PR) is at least a 30% decrease in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum of diameters. Progressive Disease (PD) is at least a 20% increase in the sum of the diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the smallest sum on study (this includes the baseline sum if that is the smallest on study). The appearance of one or more new lesions is also considered progressions). Stable Disease (SD) is neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum of diameters while on study.
次要结局
- Median Overall Survival (OS)(The time between the first day of treatment to the day of death, an average of 6.9 months.)
- Median Progression-free Survival (PFS)(The time between the first day of treatment to the day of disease progression, an average of 1.8 months.)
- 6-month Progression-free Survival (PFS)(6 months)
