Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to test an experimental oncolytic adenovirus called DNX-2440 in patients with resectable multifocal (≥ 2 lesions) liver metastasis, who are scheduled to have curative-intent liver resection surgery. Up to 18 patients will receive two sequential intra-tumoral injections of DNX-2440 into a metastatic liver tumor prior to surgery for liver resection, to evaluate safety and biological endpoints across 3 dose levels (dose escalation). Upon conclusion of the dose-escalation phase, the selected safe and biologically appropriate dose will be administered using the same schema for an additional 12 patients with colorectal cancer liver metastasis (expansion cohort) using established biologic endpoints.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 30 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase I Safety and Window-of-opportunity Study of Preoperative Intratumoral Injection of OX40-ligand Expressing Oncolytic Adenovirus (DNX-2440) in Patients With Resectable Liver Metastasis
Actual Study Start Date : February 15, 2021
Estimated Primary Completion Date : July 31, 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 31, 2023


Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Dose-level 1
The dose-level 1 arm will use a 3+3 design. A single dose of DNX-2440 will be delivered via intra-tumoral injection at Visit 1 and at Visit 3 (2 administrations in total) approximately 14 days apart.
Biological: DNX-2440
DNX-2440 is a replication competent oncolytic adenovirus expressing human OX40 ligand.

Experimental: Dose-level 2
The dose-level 2 arm will use a 3+3 design. A single dose of DNX-2440 will be delivered via intra-tumoral injection at Visit 1 and at Visit 3 (2 administrations in total) approximately 14 days apart.
Biological: DNX-2440
DNX-2440 is a replication competent oncolytic adenovirus expressing human OX40 ligand.

Experimental: Dose-level 3
The dose-level 3 arm will use a 3+3 design. A single dose of DNX-2440 will be delivered via intra-tumoral injection at Visit 1 and at Visit 3 (2 administrations in total) approximately 14 days apart.
Biological: DNX-2440
DNX-2440 is a replication competent oncolytic adenovirus expressing human OX40 ligand.




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) achieved during dose-escalation phase [ Time Frame: 1.5 Years ]
    The MTD will be defined as the highest tolerated dose below the dose that results in greater than or equal to one-third of the subjects exposed who experience a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Efficacy of DNX-2440 assessed by Tumor Regression Grade (TRG) score [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]
    Efficacy in tumor cell killing will be measured using the TRG score (1-5) for the resected specimens

  2. Viral replication [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]
    Viral replication will be assessed by quantitative measurement of viral protein expression by IHC

  3. Measure Immune response with cell response panels [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]
    Immunotherapeutic responses will be assessed by examining features and measuring changes following the intervention for Immunologic microenvironment (T-cell and Myeloid-cell response panels-tissue).

  4. Measure Immune response with ImmunoSEQsec [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]
    Immunotherapeutic responses will be assessed by measuring changes in T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire - tissue and blood.

  5. Measure Immune response with ELISPOT [ Time Frame: 3 Years ]
    Immunotherapeutic responses will be assessed by measuring T-cell response (ELISPOT - tissue/blood).
