What this trial studies

This clinical study evaluates the safety and efficacy of T3011, administered intraperitoneally, in patients suffering from malignant ascites due to advanced colorectal cancer. It is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study that will assess different doses of T3011 to determine its effectiveness in managing this condition. Participants will be closely monitored for safety and response to treatment over the course of the study.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with advanced unresectable or metastatic colorectal cancer and significant malignant ascites.

Not a fit: Patients with controlled ascites or those who have undergone paracentesis within 28 days prior to treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with malignant ascites, potentially improving their quality of life and survival.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar studies targeting malignant ascites have shown promise, indicating potential for success.

11. Willingness to attend this study, to sign informed consent, to have good compliance, and to cooperate with follow-up visit.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Previously diagnosed with decompensated cirrhosis, and with portal vein and branch involvement or cancer embolus;
2. Pregnant or lactating, or plan to pregnant or give birth during the trial;
3. Persistent or active infection that are not controlled by treatment including but not limited to: active tuberculosis, non-negative HIV antibody, HBsAg positive and HBV DNA ≥LOQ, HCV ab positive and HCV DNA ≥LOQ;

5. Autoimmune disease or related symptoms, or previously suffered from autoimmune disease;
6. History of splenectomy or organ transplantation;
7. Prior treatment with Oncolytic virus (OV) (including but not be limited to T-VEC, T3011), gene therapy, cellular therapy or tumor vaccines;
8. Requires oral or intravenous therapy against herpes virus (including but not limited to acyclovir, valaciclovir, penciclovir, famciclovir, ganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir). Topical use of drugs (eg. external use) are allowed;
9. Patients are scheduled to receive other therapy against malignant ascites (including but not limited to chemotherapy, target therapy, immunotherapy), and the best supportive treatment for malignant ascites is permitted (e.g., albumin supplements, etc.);
10. Patients with a known psychiatric disorder that would interfere with cooperation with the requirements of the trial;
11. History of narcotics (recreational use) and substance abuse (including alcohol) within 1 year prior to signing informed consent;
12. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar biological composition to HSV-1, IL-12, or anti-PD-1 monoclonal antibody or any excipients for T3011;
13. History or evidence of high risk cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to:

    * Severe cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities, such as ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention, II-III degree atrioventricular block, QT interval corrected using the Fridericia formula (QTcF) ≥ 450 msec (male) or ≥ 470 msec (female);
