3.Secondary Outcome
Title Percentage Change in Tumor Size From Baseline of the Target Injected Lesion, Measured by Computed Tomography (CT) Scans or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scans
Hide Description

To document preliminary anti-tumor activity of the injected lesion after administering a single IT injection of C. novyi-NT in humans with treatment-refractory solid tumor malignancies. Response and progression was evaluated using the international criteria proposed by the RECIST 1.1. Objective responses were measured by serial CT or MRI scans of the injected lesion and sites of metastatic involvement. Overall response, based on CT/MRI scan results, was based on observation of measurable and non-measurable disease as compared to baseline and nadir in target and non-target tumors per RECIST 1.1.

Change from baseline is presented.
Time Frame At screening, at follow up (at 1, 2, 4, and 8 months (±2 days) after dosing)
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
The efficacy data set or full analysis set consisted of all patients in the safety population who had both a baseline tumor assessment and at least one post-baseline tumor assessment. Patients were included in the analysis according to the dose of IMP received.

Hide Description

The host immune and inflammatory response to C. novyi-NT spores was measured in routine blood sampling over the course of the study.

The following table presents the data for the patients who had analyzable cytokine data.

This table was included to simply indicate the number of patients who participated in the cytokine response analysis.

8.Secondary Outcome
Title Number of Patients With Systemic Tumor Antigen Specific T-cell Responses
Hide Description

The host immune and inflammatory response to C. novyi-NT spores was measured in routine blood sampling over the course of the study. Release of T-cell cytokines and effector molecules (interferon [IFN]-γ , Granzyme B, and tumor necrosis factor [TNF]-α) from the patient's own peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) treated with allogenic tumor cell line lysates were quantified by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Spot (ELISPOT) assays. A positive response was defined as a frequency that is significantly (p <0.05, two-tailed t-test) greater than the mean of control no-antigen wells and detectable (i.e., >1:100,000).

No patients were analyzed for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 based on the original study protocol.

Title Number of Patients With Local Tumor-specific T-cell Responses
Hide Description

The host immune and inflammatory response to C. novyi-NT spores was measured in routine blood sampling over the course of the study. Immunostaining for tumor infiltrating cells was analyzed independently by 2 investigators. Respective counting of 3 slides per patient between 5 to 20 fields of vision at 200x were scored using the modified ALLRED scoring method. Respective counts were averaged in each case. Pre and post treatment needle biopsies from injected and non-injected tumors were stained for the presence of tumor infiltrating immune cells.

No patients were analyzed for Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 based on the original study protocol.

Adverse Event Reporting Description An Adverse Event (AE) was any new untoward medical occurrence or worsening of a pre-existing medical condition in a clinical investigation subject administered an investigational medicinal product, even if it did not have a causal relationship with that product. Any unfavorable or unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of the study agent, whether or not it was considered study agent-related was considered an AE.
