Safety and Tolerability Study of Recombinant L-IFN Adenovirus Injection in Patients With Recurrent Glioblastoma

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The target subjects were patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent glioblastoma.Six subjects were expected to be enrolled,the number of subjects will be adjusted according to the course and outcome of the trial.The aim of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection in the treatment of patients with recurrent glioblastoma, and to determine the registered clinical recommended dose and dosing regimen.

Detailed Description
-----------------
The IIT clinical study of recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection is planned to adopt an open-label, non-randomized, dose exploratory study design. The trial was divided into screening, treatment and maintenance periods.The Ommaya reservoir was surgically implanted, and multiple intracapsular injections were administered.The overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease control rate (DCR) were used to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant adenovirus L-IFN injection in the treatment of recurrent glioblastoma.

However, biopsies needed for diagnosis were permitted. Severe trauma is a wound, ulcer or fracture that does not heal; administration of live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before or planned for the duration of the first study drug; medium (adult) drug treatment with anti-tumor indications within 2 weeks before the first study drug treatment; antineoplastic therapy (including chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, biological therapy or tumor embolization) within 4 weeks before the first dose; For oral fluorouracil and endocrine therapy, drug withdrawal ≤2 weeks; In the case of nitrosourea, mitomycin or monoclonal antibody, drug withdrawal ≤6 weeks. If washout time is insufficient due to schedule or PK characteristics of the drug, it needs to be discussed with the partner; Patients with symptoms, disseminated to viscera, and risk of life-threatening complications in a short period of time, patients with pleural effusion, peritoneal effusion, and pericardial effusion who underwent puncture and drainage within three weeks before the first administration; Subjects with active or preexisting autoimmune diseases (e.g., systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, autoimmune thyroid disease, multiple sclerosis, vasculitis, glomerulonephritis, etc.) or those at high risk (e.g., organ transplant recipients requiring immunosuppressive therapy). However, subjects with the following conditions were allowed: patients with type I diabetes who are stable on fixed doses of insulin; autoimmune hypothyroidism with hormone replacement therapy only; skin conditions requiring no systemic treatment (e.g. eczema, rashes covering less than 10% of the body surface, psoriasis without eye symptoms, etc.); patients who have resolved childhood asthma/allergy without intervention in adulthood; Cardiovascular disease within 6 months before screening meets any of the following criteria: congestive heart failure with New York Heart Association (NYHA) class Ⅱ or above; Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%; severe arrhythmias requiring medical treatment; QTcF (Fridericia's formula) > 450 msec in a man or > 470 msec in a woman, or the presence of risk factors for torsdes pointes, such as hypokalemia, a family history of long QT syndrome, or a family history of arrhythmias (e.g., the Wolff-White syndrome), as judged by the investigator to be clinically significant; a history of myocardial infarction or severe/unstable angina within 6 months before treatment; a history of thromboembolic events of grade ≥3 within the past 2 years or receiving thrombolytic or anticoagulant therapy due to a high risk of thrombosis; Patients with sudden lung disease, interstitial lung disease or pneumonia, pulmonary fibrosis, acute lung disease, etc. which could not be controlled after treatment, except for local interstitial pneumonia induced by radiotherapy; Uncontrolled systemic diseases, such as diabetes (fasting blood glucose ≥13.3mM), hypertension (systolic blood pressure ≥160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥100 mmHg), etc.; Have a history of human immunodeficiency virus infection or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or have a history of organ transplantation or stem cell transplantation; Except for those who do not require immunosuppressive therapy, such as corneal transplantation; Evidence of active infection: Hepatitis B (HBsAg positive, HBV-DNA≥500IU/ml and abnormal liver function); Hepatitis C (HCV-Ab positive, HCV-RNA higher than the detection limit of analytical method and abnormal liver function); Systemic use of anti-infective agents for ≥7 days within 4 weeks before the first dose or unexplained fever > 38.5°C during screening/before the first dose (according to the investigator's judgment, fever caused by cancer could be enrolled); Patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis infection detected by medical history or CT examination, or with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection within 1 year before enrollment, or with a history of active pulmonary tuberculosis infection more than 1 year before enrollment but without regular treatment; A definite history of a previous neurological or mental disorder or a known history of psychotropic substance abuse, alcohol abuse or drug use; Received any investigational drug within 4 weeks before the first dose or was enrolled in another clinical study (except if the patient was enrolled in an observational, noninterventional clinical study or was in the follow-up period of an interventional clinical study; or more than 5 half-lives of the last study medication); Women who are pregnant or lactating, or who have a positive baseline pregnancy test; Patients deemed by the investigator to be ineligible for inclusion in the study.

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) | To define the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of intratumoral administration of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection in humans with malignant tumors | Up to 28 days | 
| Safety and tolerability assessed by Adverse Events (AEs) | 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 | Up to 6 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Overall survival (OS) | Months alive following treatment as measured during periodic study visits | 3.5 years | 
| Presence of neutralizing antibodies of antidrug antibodies (ADAs) development | To evaluate the immunogenicity of Recombinant L-IFN adenovirus injection given as single agent post injection | Up to 6 months | 
| Quality of life (QOL) | To measure quality of life (QOL) baseline assessment and any changes over time，EORTC QLQ-C30 scale was used for assessment，except for items 29 and 30, all items in QLQ-C30 scale are reverse items (the higher the value, the worse the quality of life). | 18 months |
