Study Summary

  1. More than half of peritoneal metastases are from digestive tract. Peritoneal metastasis has poor prognosis, poor treatment response and limited means.

  2. rmhTNF-NC or bevacizumab are effective in the treatment of malignant pleuroabdominal effusion.

3, There is increasing evidence that PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors in combination with vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) inhibitors have a complementary mechanism of action: VEGF pathway inhibitors normalize blood vessels in tumors and promote immune cell maturation and infiltration, thus playing a synergistic role with ICIs. The strategy of systemic immunotherapy combined with antivascular therapy has been confirmed by several large phase III clinical trials such as IMbrave-150. Basic studies have confirmed that uncontrolled tumor vessels in peritoneal metastasis and malignant ascites microenvironment also play an important role in promoting disease progression. Therefore, this project intends to explore the treatment of malignant abdominal effusion by local intraperitoneal injection of bevacizumab and PD-1 on the basis of rmhTNF-NC

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥18 years old, gender unlimited;

  • Malignant ascites confirmed by histology or cytology as originating from digestivesystem tumors (malignant confirmed by ascites cytology or clinically diagnosed asperitoneal metastases by imaging and symptoms);

  • Patients with more than a moderate amount of abdominal fluid, who have failedinitial treatment or have been treated with conventional chemotherapy drugs and/orbiological response modulators intravenously. Moderate ascites is defined as:

  • B ultrasound examination of ascites ≥3cm in lying position;

  • Accompanied by clinical symptoms (chest tightness, shortness of breath,abdominal distension and discomfort, which were judged by researchers to berelated to abdominal fluid accumulation);

  • ECOG physical status is 0-2;

  • Expected survival time >3 months;

  • Cardiopulmonary function is basically normal;

  • For adequate organ function, subjects must meet the following laboratory criteria:

  • Peripheral blood imaging: WBC≥4.0×109/L, PLT≥80×109/L, Hb≥90g/L;

  • Renal function: serum creatinine ≤2×ULN and creatinine clearance (calculated byCockcroft-Gault formula) ≥40 ml/min;

  • Liver function: total bilirubin ≤1.5× upper limit of normal value (ULN); Ortotal bilirubin >ULN but direct bilirubin ≤ ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5×ULN (ALT or AST ≤5×ULN in patientswith liver metastasis);

  • Good coagulation function, defined as International standardized ratio (INR) orprothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 times ULN;

  • Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) ≤ULN; If abnormal, T3 and T4 levels and clinicalmanifestations should be investigated, and comprehensive assessment of non-acuteactivity can be included;

  • Non-surgical sterilization or female patients of reproductive age who are requiredto use a medically approved contraceptive method (such as an IUD, contraceptive pillor condom) during the study treatment period and for 6 months after the end of thestudy treatment period; Women of reproductive age who were not surgically sterilizedhad to be negative for serum or urine HCG within 7 days prior to study enrollment.And must be non-lactation period; For men whose partners are women of childbearingage, effective contraception should be used during the trial and within 6 monthsafter the last administration of the study drug;

  • Voluntarily enrolled in this study, with good compliance, signed written informedconsent, and able to cooperate with follow-up observation.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of allergy to tumor necrosis factor and its derivatives, bevacizumabanalogues, and Serplulimab;

  • Malignant diseases other than digestive tract neoplasms were diagnosed within 5years prior to initial administration (excluding radical basal cell carcinoma of theskin, squamous epithelial carcinoma of the skin, and/or carcinoma in situ afterradical resection);

  • Received any other investigational drug therapy or participated in an interventionalclinical investigator within 7 days prior to initial dosing; Or received anti-tumordrug treatment (including Chinese herbal medicine with anti-tumor indication) within 7 days prior to the first use of the study drug;

  • Pregnant or lactating women, women of childbearing age who did not want to usecontraception during the study period; Or the man is unwilling to use effectivecontraception during treatment and during the following 1 year;

  • Significant damage to the function of important organs;

  • Patients with obvious bleeding tendency;

  • Clinically significant or uncontrolled heart disease, including unstable anginapectoris, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to first dosing, NewYork Heart Association Class III/IV congestive heart failure, and uncontrolledarrhythmia (in subjects who are allowed to wear a pacemaker or have atrialfibrillation and have a well-controlled heart rate);

  • Presence of ECG changes or medical history that investigators consider clinicallysignificant; Screening QTcF interval >480 ms, subjects with indoor block (QRSinterval >120 ms) can use JTc interval instead of QTc interval (if JTc is usedinstead of QTc, JTc must be ≤340 ms);

  • Uncontrolled hypertension, systolic blood pressure >160 mmHg or diastolic bloodpressure >100 mmHg after optimal medical treatment, history of hypertensive crisisor hypertensive encephalopathy;

  • Severe acute infection that is not under control; The patient is having fever (> 38℃), or has suppurative and chronic infection, and the wound is prolonged and doesnot heal;

  • Patients with encapsulated abdominal effusion confirmed by imaging; A definitediagnosis of abdominal infection;

  • Persons infected with acute or chronic active hepatitis B or hepatitis C, hepatitisB virus (HBV) DNA>2000IU/ml or 104 copies /ml; Hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA> 103copies /ml; Hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and anti-HCV antibodies were bothpositive. After nucleotide antiviral therapy, those who were lower than the abovecriteria could be included in the group. A known history of human immunodeficiencyvirus (HIV) infection or a confirmed positive immunotest result;

  • Patients with obvious evidence of bleeding tendency or history within 3 months priorto enrollment (hemorrhage >30 mL within 3 months, hematemesis, stool, and blood inthe stool), hemoptysis (>5 mL fresh blood within 4 weeks); People with a history ofinherited or acquired bleeding or coagulation disorders. Have clinically significantbleeding symptoms or definite bleeding tendency within 3 months, such asgastrointestinal bleeding, hemorrhagic gastric ulcer, etc.; Arterial or venousthrombotic disease was present 6 weeks before enrollment;

  • Known history of allogeneic organ transplantation and allogeneic hematopoietic stemcell transplantation;

  • Had a major surgical procedure (craniotomy, thoracotomy, or laparotomy) within 4weeks prior to the first dose of study therapy or expected to require major surgeryduring study therapy;

  • Complications of toxicity and/or major surgery have not fully recovered beforestarting treatment;

  • Women who are pregnant or nursing, or who are expected to become pregnant or givebirth during the study period from screening visits to completion of safetyfollow-up visits (male subjects to 90 days after the last dosing);

  • Radiotherapy was received within 4 weeks prior to the first administration of thestudy drug. Subjects must have fully recovered from radiation-related toxicitieswithout the need for corticosteroid therapy, confirming the rule out of radiationpneumonia. For palliative radiotherapy for non-CNS disease, a 2-week washout periodis allowed;
