Study Summary

VG161 is a recombinant human-IL12/15/PDL1B oncolytic HSV-1 Injectable. This trial is a single-agent, single-arm, multicenter, open-label design clinical trial for advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who have failed standard therapy. To evaluate the efficacy of VG161 administered by ultrasound or CT-guided intratumoral injection in patients with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, with the primary outcome measure being objective response rate (ORR).

  8. Child-Pugh A-B;

  9. Renal function: Cr ≤ 1.5 × ULN, and creatinine clearance ≥ 45ml/min (calculatedaccording to Cockcroft-Gault formula);

  10. Coagulation function: activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN,prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN, international normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 ×ULN; 10.Eligible patients of childbearing potential (men and women) must agreeto use a reliable method of contraception (hormonal or barrier method orabstinence) during the trial and for at least 90 days after the last dose;female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative blood pregnancytest within 7 days prior to enrollment.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. received chemotherapy, radiotherapy, biological therapy, endocrine therapy,targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other anti-tumor drugs within 4 weeksbefore the first use of the study drug, of which oral fluorouracil and smallmolecule targeted drugs were within 2 weeks before the first use of the studydrug or within 5 half-lives of the drug (whichever was longer).

  2. Patients who have received transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE)within 4 weeks before the first use of the study drug.

  3. Received other clinical trial drugs that are not approved for marketing within 4 weeks before the first use of the study drug.

  4. Major organ surgery (excluding needle biopsy) or significant trauma within 4weeks before the first dose of study drug.

  5. Have received a vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.

  6. Patients who have received systemic corticosteroids (prednisone > 10 mg/day orequivalent doses of the same class of drugs) or other immunosuppressive agentswithin 14 days before the first dose of study drug; except for the following:topical, ocular, intra-articular, intranasal, and inhaled corticosteroids;short-term corticosteroids (≤ 10 mg prednisone equivalent) for prophylaxis (e.g., prevention of contrast agent allergy).

  7. The adverse reactions of previous anti-tumor treatment have not recovered toCTCAE 5.0 grade evaluation ≤ 1 (except alopecia and other toxicities that arejudged by the investigator to have no safety risk); 8. Patients with centralnervous system metastasis, spinal cord metastasis and/or spinal cordcompression.

  8. in the herpes simplex virus recurrence and infection period, and there arecorresponding clinical manifestations, such as oral herpes labialis, herpetickeratitis, herpetic dermatitis, genital herpes and so on.

  9. other active uncontrolled infections. 11. History of immunodeficiency,including positive HIV antibody test and positive Treponema pallidum antibodytest.

  16. Having received immunotherapy and have experienced immune-related adverseevents (irAEs) such as immune-related pneumonia and myocarditis, which mayaffect the safety of the investigational drug as judged by the investigator.

  17. Known alcohol or drug dependence. 17. Patients with mental disorders or poorcompliance. 18. Pregnant or lactating women. 19. The investigator believes thatthe subject has other serious systemic diseases or other reasons and is notsuitable for this clinical study.

Study Description

The trial was conducted in two phases, and in the first phase, a total of 20 subjects were enrolled (per efficacy assessment analysis set). If 5 or more of the 20 subjects in Stage I achieve an objective response, i.e., the overall ORR is greater than 4/20, it suggests that the drug warrants further investigation and no additional subjects are required to enter Stage II. If only 1 or no subject out of 20 had an objective response, the trial was stopped, indicating that the trial drug had no apparent effect. Otherwise, continue to enter Stage II, add 13 subjects (as per efficacy evaluation analysis set), and the total number of subjects reaches 33. If 5 or more of 33 subjects achieve objective response, i.e., the overall ORR is greater than 4/33, it indicates that the drug has good anti-tumor efficacy and is worthy of entering confirmatory clinical trials.
