Design of a single-center, phase II trial to explore the efficacy and safety of ‘R-ISV-RO’ treatment in advanced tumors

Abstract

Background: The authors' preclinical study has confirmed that RO adjuvant (composed of TLR 7 agonists [imiquimod/R837] and OX40 agonists) injected into local lesions induces the regression of both primary tumor and distant metastasis. The authors propose to realize local control and exert abscopal effect through an ‘R-ISV-RO’ insitu strategy plus anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in advanced tumors. Methods: This study is a single-center, exploratory, phase II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of R-ISV-RO plus anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody in advanced tumors. 30 patients with one or more measurable extracerebral lesions that are accessible for radiation or injection will be enrolled. The primary endpoint is the objective response rate of target lesions. Discussion/Conclusion: The efficacy and safety of the novel strategy will be further validated through this clinical trial.
