Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, dose-escalation, multi-center phase I study evaluating the safety of CF33-hNIS (hNIS - human sodium iodide symporter) administered via two routes of administration, intratumoral (IT) or intravenous (IV), either as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab in patients with metastatic or advanced solid tumors.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Solid Tumor Solid Carcinoma Solid Tumor, Adult Metastatic Cancer Advanced Solid Tumor Biological: CF33-hNIS Biological: Pembrolizumab Phase 1

Detailed Description:

CF33-hNIS, a novel chimeric orthopoxvirus, will be administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab to assess the safety and efficacy of the treatment regimens as well as immunological changes in the tumour microenvironment.

Patients eligible for treatment include those with any metastatic or advanced solid tumor who have documented radiological progression per RECIST following at least two prior lines of therapy which may have included treatment with an Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor.

All enrolled patients will be treated with CF33-hNIS on Day 1 and 8 of Cycle 1 and then on Day 1 of each cycle thereafter. Patients treated with the combination regimen will also received pembrolizumab beginning on Day 1 of each cycle beginning with Cycle 2.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Frequency and severity of Adverse Events of IV and IT CF33-hNIS as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through 30 days following the last dose of study treatment. ]
    Adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v5.0.

  2. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of CF33-hNIS as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: From first dose of study drug through 21-42 days following the first dose of study treatment. ]
    RP2D determination will be based on evaluation of Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLT) as well as other safety, efficacy and correlative data.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Objective Response Rate (ORR) of CF33-hNIS administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients in the efficacy population who achieve a radiographic Investigator-assessed confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), per RECIST v1.1 or confirmed immune complete response (iCR) or immune partial response (iPR) per iRECIST v1.0.

  2. Progression-free survival (PFS) of CF33-hNIS administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab. [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    PFS, defined as the time from start of treatment to the first documentation of progressive disease (PD) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.

  3. Overall survival (OS) of CF33-hNIS administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab. [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    defined as the time from the start of treatment until death due to any cause. Median OS and OS rate at 12 months will be reported.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR) of CF33-hNIS administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab. [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    DOR is defined as the time from the date a response of PR/iPR or better was first recorded to the date on which progressive disease was first noted or the date of death due to any cause.

  5. Disease Control Rate (DCR) of CF33-hNIS administered as a monotherapy or in combination with pembrolizumab. [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    DCR is defined as the proportion of patients who achieve an Investigator-assessed confirmed CR/iCR, PR/iPR, or Stable Disease (SD)/immune SD (iSD) per RECIST v1.1 and iRECIST v1.0.

  6. To evaluate viral titers of CF33-hNIS [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]
    Viral Plaque Assay (VPA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing from serum, urine, oral swab, rectal swab, injection site(s) swab and wound dressing swab.

  7. To evaluate infection of tumors with CF33-hNIS [ Time Frame: 21 days from first dose of study drug ]
    hNIS-based imaging via SPECT technetium-99 (99TC).


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. To evaluation antiviral immune activation [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years from first dose of study drug. ]

    Up regulation of PD-L1 expression as compared to baseline in tumor tissue and circulating tumor cells (CTC).

    Analysis of lymphocyte subsets and cytokine profile compared to baseline.
