JX-594 Recombinant Vaccina GM-CSF
JX-594 recombinant vaccina GM-CSF JX-594 recombinant vaccina GM-CSF: Enrolled patients will receive 5 weekly IV infusions on Days 1, 8, 15, 22, and 29. After Day 43, if their disease has improved or remained stable and they have not started other cancer therapy, they may be able to continue to receive JX-594 via IV infusion every three weeks. This treatment extension may continue until radiologic progressive disease, initiation of other cancer therapy, or patient withdrawal.

4 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: CT scans every 6 week from Week 6 up to 12 months.

TTP (in months) was defined as the number of months from the date of first Pexa-Vec infusion to the date of disease progression. If the patient had no progression then TTP was censored at the date of last evaluable tumor assessment. TTP was summarized and a Kaplan Meier (KM) curve was constructed.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: CT scans every 6 week from Week 6 up to 12 months

OS was defined as the time from first dose of Pexa-Vec until death from any cause. For patients not known to have died at the time of the analysis, OS was censored on the date they were last known to be alive. OS was summarized and a KM curve was constructed.
