NCT00081211

Brief Summary

Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of intratumoral (in the tumor) PV701 in treating patients who have advanced or recurrent unresectable squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) of the head and neck. Vaccines made from a specially-modified virus such as PV701 may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells while leaving normal cells undamaged. Injecting PV701 directly into the tumor may cause a stronger immune response and kill more tumor cells

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of PV701 based on the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) as assessed by NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 3.0

    3 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Toxicity as assessed by NCI CTCAE version 3.0

    Up to 12 weeks

  • Response (complete and partial) rate according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) Committee

    Up to 12 weeks

  • Time to progression according to RECIST

    From the time of study entry until tumor growth is determined by physical exam or by radiographic imaging, assessed up to 12 weeks

Study Arms (1)

Treatment (PV701)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive intratumoral PV701 once weekly for 3 weeks. Courses repeat every 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of PV701 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity. Once the MTD is determined, at least 6 evaluable patients are treated at that dose.
