NCT ID: NCT02293850

Last Updated: 2018-08-20

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: UNKNOWN
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 18 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2014-10-31
• Study Completion Date: 2021-04-30

Brief Summary

This is an open labeled, multiple centers, two countries (Taiwan and Korea) non-comparative phase I trial in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma. In phase I part, a maximum of 18 patients will be recruited in this study.

Detailed Description

After screening, each eligible patient will undergo a treatment of OBP-301 within 14 days and will automatically enter follow-up period.

The follow-up period is up to 12 weeks after the last injection in the phase I part.

Each patient will return for follow-up visit weekly in the first month after the last injection, and then every 4 weeks up to the end of follow-up period.

Conditions

Carcinoma, Hepatocellular

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

single intra-tumoral injection

OBP-301 ; Cohort 1: 1x10 10 viral particle (VP)/ tumor Cohort 2: 1x10 11 viral particle (VP)/ tumor Cohort 3: 1x10 12 viral particle (VP)/ tumor

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

OBP-301

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

A range of dose levels is investigated and the starting dose is 1x1010 VP/tumor. Dose administration will be conducted through a dose-escalating scheme from 1x1010 VP/tumor to 1x1011 VP/tumor, 1x1012 VP/tumor, 3x1011 VP/tumor and 3x1012 VP/tumor.
