Brief summary
This is a multicenter, single arm, 3-cohort, open-label trial of high dose Vitamin C intravenous infusion in subjects with solid tumor malignancies who are eligible for resection (cohort A) or with extended RAS (e.g.KRAS or NRAS) or BRAF mutation metastatic cancer who have received prior systemic treatment (cohort B). Cohort C will involve patients with colorectal cancer having an extended RAS or BRAF mutation who are amenable for localregional therapy of hepatic metastases with Yttrium-90 radioembolization.
Detailed description
This clinical trial is for men and women with resectable or metastatic solid tumor malignancies. The objective of the study is to investigate whether high dose vitamin C infusion leads to pathological tumor response in resectable colorectal, pancreatic, and lung cancer (cohort A) or objective tumor response in KRAS or BRAF mutant solid tumors (cohort B). For Cohort C, the primary objective is to determine that maximal tolerated dose of the combination of high dose vitamin C with Y90 radioembolization for patients solid tumor malignancies and liver metastases amenable to local-regional therapy Patients in cohort A receive a high dose vitamin C infusion for 4 days per week for 2-4 consecutive weeks prior to surgery. Patients in cohort B receive high dose vitamin C infusion for 4 days per week for up to 6 months or disease progression. Cohort C will receive high dose vitamin C for 1-3 weeks. During week 1 vitamin C infusion and Y90 radioembolization of hepatic metastases will occur same day. A tumor sample will be resected after completion of study drug (high dose vitamin C infusion) treatment to examine the effects of study drug (Cohort A only). In addition, organoids will be grown in vitro and continue to be treated with vitamin C added in culture medium to examine tumor response. The resected tumor in this study will Key eligibility: * Men and women age 18 and older * Patients with histologically proven early stage or locally advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma, lung cancer or pancreatic cancer, who are eligible for resection, and have not received chemotherapy or radiotherapy (cohort A) Patients with inoperable, metastatic, KRAS or BRAF mutant colorectal adenocarcinoma, lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, who have received at least 1 line of treatment for metastatic disease (cohort B) * Patients with metastatic cancer with an extended RAS (e.g. KRAS or NRAS) or BRAF mutation with liver metastases amenable to Y90 radioembolization (cohort C).
Interventions
Vitamin C infusion will be administered intravenously at 1.25 g/kg for 4 days per week for 2-4 consecutive weeks (cohort A) or up to 6 months (cohort B). Cohort C will receive high dose vitamin C for 1-3 weeks. During week 1 vitamin C infusion and Y90 radioembolization of hepatic metastases will occur same day.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pathologic Response Based on Tumor Regression Grading in Cohort A Patients | cohort A - 8 weeks | Number of patients with partial or complete pathological response in surgically resected tumor tissue: Pathological response rate is the number of patients with partial or complete pathological response in surgically resected tumor tissue. Pathologic response was assessed by tumor regression grade. This is a pathologic assessment of the amount of residual cancer cells in the specimen and the degree of fibrosis in the sample specimen. A completer response is 0% residual cancer cells. A partial response is 10-50% residual cancer cells, and no response is \>50% residual cancer cells within the tumor specimen. |
| Maximal Tolerated Dose of High Dose Vitamin C in Combination With Y90 Radioembolization | Cohort C - 16 weeks | Maximal tolerated dose will be evaluated by assessment of dose limiting toxicities for multiple dose levels. Dose limiting toxicity will be defined as any grade 3-4 adverse event possibly, probably, or definitely attributed to vitamin C therapy in the 21 days of protocol therapy. In any group of 3 patients, if one patient experiences dose limiting toxicity, the group will be expanded by 3 additional patients (eg. 6 for that group). If, at any dose level, 2 or more patients experience a dose limiting toxicity, the maximal tolerated dose will be reached, and further dose escalation will not be pursued. The dose level may then be expanded up to 10 additional patients to confirm the safety and toxicity at that dose level. |
| 3-month Disease Control Rate (DCR) Will be Evaluated Using RECIST v 1.1 in Cohort B Patients. | Cohort B - 3 months | Percentage of patients with complete response, partial response, or stable disease as a result of their therapy at 3 months |

Maximal Tolerated Dose of High Dose Vitamin C in Combination With Y90 Radioembolization
Maximal tolerated dose will be evaluated by assessment of dose limiting toxicities for multiple dose levels. Dose limiting toxicity will be defined as any grade 3-4 adverse event possibly, probably, or definitely attributed to vitamin C therapy in the 21 days of protocol therapy. In any group of 3 patients, if one patient experiences dose limiting toxicity, the group will be expanded by 3 additional patients (eg. 6 for that group). If, at any dose level, 2 or more patients experience a dose limiting toxicity, the maximal tolerated dose will be reached, and further dose escalation will not be pursued. The dose level may then be expanded up to 10 additional patients to confirm the safety and toxicity at that dose level.
Time frame: Cohort C - 16 weeks
Population: Only patients that received a dose of Vitamin C in Cohort C were considered evaluable. In Cohort C, 30 out of 32 participants who received vitamin C were evaluated across dose levels. Cohort A and B were not dose escalations, and therefore were not evaluated for maximum tolerated dose.

Time to Maximum Concentration and Half-life of Vitamin C (t1/2) in Hours in Cohort B
The serum concentration of vitamin C was serially measured following vitamin C infusion at 1.25 g/kg at various timepoints up to 24 hours post infusion to determine the Tmax and t(1/2) in hours
Time frame: Up to 24 hours post-infusion
Population: Pharmacokinetics data was not assessed for Cohort A or Cohort C. PK samples for 5 participants from Cohort B were not obtained and therefore only 16/21 participants were evaluable.
| Arm | Measure | Group | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cohort A: Vitamin C + Surgery | Time to Maximum Concentration and Half-life of Vitamin C (t1/2) in Hours in Cohort B | T(max) | 2.28 hours | Standard Deviation 0.38 |
| Cohort A: Vitamin C + Surgery | Time to Maximum Concentration and Half-life of Vitamin C (t1/2) in Hours in Cohort B | t(1/2) | 6.46 hours | Standard Deviation 1.44 |
Exploratory Biomarker Samples From Tumor Tissue Will be Collected at the Time Points Specified in the Protocol
To explore potential correlation of gene expression pattern with anti-tumor activity of vitamin C, we plan to perform RNA sequencing using surgical sample in cohort A patients who will receive vitamin C infusion pre-operatively.
Time frame: cohort A - 8 weeks, cohort B - up to 6 months, Cohort C - 16 weeks
In Vitro Activity of Vitamin C in Tumor Organoids
Molecular signature of vitamin C efficacy will be determined using RNA sequencing and compared between KRAS or BRAF mutant vs wild type tumors. Organoids will be prepared from resected tumor samples and treated with vitamin C.
Time frame: cohort A - 8 weeks, cohort B - up to 6 months
Pharmacodynamic Samples From Tumor Tissue Will be Collected at the Time Points Specified in the Protocol.
Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for GLUT1 protein expression will be performed on Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues. Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining for phosphor-AMPK will be performed on Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tumor tissues to assess AMPK activation.
Time frame: cohort A - 8 weeks, cohort B - up to 6 months, Cohort C - 16 weeks
