Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine the safety, feasibility of intra-tumoral injection of the RR001 administered by ultrasound (US) guided injections in combination with standard of care therapy based on GEM/Nab-PTX and to establish the maximal tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended phase IIb dose (RP2D) of intratumoral injections of RR001 after three dose levels delivery in combination with standard of chemotherapy;Secondary Objective: 1. Antitumor activity and response rate by RECIST 1.1 criteria 2. Percentage of patients successfully undergoing to surgery and percentage of pathological resection (R0 vs. R1 vs. R2) 3. Time to disease progression, progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) 4. Quality of life (EORTC QLQ-C30, QLQ-PAN26) 5. Exploratory endpoints (sTRAIL levels in serum and urine by ELISA, detection of sTRAIL encoding transgene in blood, urine and tumor biopsies by qPCR, histology on tumor biopsies, DPC4/SMAD4 status, radiological objectives);Primary end point(s): Co-primary endpoints will be feasibility and safety. Feasibility will be expressed as number of eligible patients receiving the gene therapy within 35 days from the liposuction. The intervention will be defined feasible if at least 80% of enrolled patients will be treated. Tolerability and safety will be expressed as number of patients recruited/treated experiencing any dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), adverse event (AE), adverse reaction (AR), unexpected adverse reaction (UAR), severe adverse event (SAE), suspected unexpected serious adverse reaction (SUSAR), or adverse event of special interest (AESI).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Feasibility will be evaluated for each patient between 46-57 days from enrollment and overall feasibility (at least 80% of patients treated with RR001) will be assessed at the end of study. Number and type of dose-limiting toxicities will be assessed at day +21 from RR001 injection for each patient. Safety endpoints related to RR001 will be ev | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Changes in EORTC quality of life scores; Frequency and proportion of patients eligible for the surgery among those receiving the RR001 infusion; Changes in tumor markers (Ca 19.9, CEA); Frequency and proportion of patients not eligible for the surgery but reporting stable disease among those receiving the RR001 infusion; Mortality rate; Tumor response rate (RECIST criteria);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From baseline to end of study; Visit 18 (after 21 days from RR001 administration); From baseline to end of study; Visit 22 (after 90 days from RR001 administration); 2, 4, 12 weeks after the RR001 infusion; From baseline to end-of-study | — |
