Abstract 5185
Background
Expression of hyaluronidase from the selective oncolytic adenovirus VCN-01 modifies tumor matrix in pancreatic tumours. Such effect enhances gemcitabine uptake and induces potent immunomodulatory signals that could help recruit CD8+-T cells.
Methods
VCN-01 was administered as a single IV injection to 40 patients with ECOG 0-1 at doses ranging from 1E11 to 1E13 viral particles per patient (vp) as a single agent in patients with advanced solid tumors or in combination with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in patients with advanced pancreatic adenocarcinoma using two independent administration regimens (concomitant or sequential). Blood levels of VCN-01 DNA and hyaluronidase together with several immunological markers and VCN-01 presence in paired tumor biopsies were measured. Response was assessed using RECIST v1.1 criteria.
Results
The most commonly reported VCN-01-associated adverse events of grade 3 or higher included transaminase increase, thrombocytopenia and neutropenia, accounting for 27% and 10% of patients respectively for the combination of VCN-01 with gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel in the concomitant and the sequential regimen. Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) was 1E+13vp/patient both in monotherapy and in combination with chemotherapy in a sequential regimen whereas 3.3E+12vp was the RP2D for the concomitant regimen. VCN-01 reached and replicated in tumors when administered systemically. VCN-01 dose correlated with hyaluronidase positivity in sera and sustained viremia for over 3 weeks indicating replication. VCN-01 administration changed tumour environment into a more pro-inflammatory state, inducing CD8 T-cells infiltration and upregulation of IDO in 64% patients. RECIST evaluation resulted in a response rate between 40-45% ORR depending on regimen including a complete response and several partial responses.
Conclusions
VCN-01 shows a good safety profile when administered systemically in combination with the standard of care for pancreatic cancer. Its ability to reach systemically the tumours and modify tumour matrix to favour immune infiltration results in evidences of clinical activity.
