• Conditions: Ovarian Carcinoma; Head and Neck Cancer; Melanoma; Breast Cancer; Cervical Carcinoma; Lung Cancer; Bladder Cancer
• Interventions: Drug: Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection

• Registration Number: NCT05180851
• Lead Sponsor: Shanghai Fengxian District Central Hospital

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, dose escalation study of the safety and tolerability of Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus L-IFN injection（YSCH-01） when administered via intratumoral injection in patients with advanced solid tumors. The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injectionand to determine the recommended phase 1 dose for further study. The study will also evaluate antitumor activity, objective response rate, pharmacokinetics and virus shedding of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection

Detailed Description

This is an investigator initiated , open-label, study of Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus L-IFN injection given via intratumoral (IT) injection as a single agent in participants with advanced solid tumors. The study is a single agent dose escalation which will use a 3+3 design to evaluate escalating doses of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection. Total enrollment will depend on the toxicities and/or activity observed, with approximately19-28 evaluable participants enrolled.

The primary study objective is to determine the safety, tolerability, and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of Recombinant oncolytic adenovirus L-IFN injection as a single agent. Secondary objectives will assess efficacy overall response rate, as well as disease control rate, progression free survival, duration of response, and anti-tumor immune responses.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Safety and efficacy of recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection in relapsed/refractory solid tumors	Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection	1.Only 1 lesion: If the tumor volume is less than or equal to 10 cm3, the whole tumor is injected radially and evenly. If the tumor volume was \>10 cm3, the tumor was evenly divided into five quadrants and injected into one quadrant at a time. 2. If there are 2 or more lesions, the most manageable tumor injection is selected; 3. Priority should be given to the body surface metastases that meet the evaluation criteria for tumor efficacy. 4. According to patients' conditions (e.g., patients with thorax and ascites), the investigator and the research group and cooperative units jointly explored other drug administration approaches (e.g., bladder infusion, thorax and abdominal cavity administration)

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT)	Up to 28 days	To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection in humans with malignant tumors.
Safety and tolerability assessed by Adverse Events (AEs)	Time Frame: Up to 6 months	An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered an investigational product (IP), and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of IP whether or not considered related to the IP

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of participants with vital sign abnormalities and /or adverse event	Up to 6 months	Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values
Number of participants with laboratory value abnormalities and/or adverse events	Up to 6 months	Number of participants with potentially clinically significant laboratory values
Presence of neutralizing antibodies of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) development	Up to 6 months	To evaluate the immunogenicity of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection given as single agent post injection
