CMTS1215 injections for advanced, treatment-refractory solid tumors
Official title: A Prospective, Open-Label, Single-Arm Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CMTS1215 Injection in Subjects With Solid Tumors
Run by The Second Hospital of Nanjing Medical University · NCT07556276 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will test whether injections of CMTS1215, an oncolytic Proteus mirabilis bacterium, can shrink measurable solid tumors in adults who have not responded to standard therapies.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18 or older with histologically confirmed, measurable solid tumors who have failed or cannot receive standard first-, second-, or third-line therapies, with ECOG performance status 0–2 and expected survival greater than three months.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, active severe infections, coagulation abnormalities or those whose tumors are inaccessible for safe intratumoral injection are unlikely to benefit from this intervention.

What this trial studies
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm Phase 1/2 study enrolling at least eight adults with histologically confirmed, measurable solid tumors that are refractory to standard treatments. Participants will receive intratumoral injections of CMTS1215 under direct visualization or endoscopic guidance for up to 6–8 treatment cycles. Tumor response will be measured at 1 week and 4 weeks after treatment using RECIST 1.1 criteria, and safety will be monitored using standard adverse event grading. The trial builds on preclinical safety and efficacy data in mouse and canine models showing tumor tropism and oncolytic activity of the CMTS1215 Proteus mirabilis strain.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could provide a new local therapy that directly kills tumor cells and stimulates anti-tumor immunity for patients with treatment-refractory solid tumors.
How similar studies have gone: Other oncolytic bacterial approaches have shown promising preclinical results and limited clinical signals, but CMTS1215 (a Proteus mirabilis strain) is a novel agent with primarily preclinical support to date.
