Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18–75 with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma who can consent and adhere to contraception requirements.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with disease not responsive to intratumoral VG2025 or those with contraindications may not experience benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a Phase 2 interventional study evaluating VG2025, a recombinant HSV-1 oncolytic therapy with dual-regulated IL-12/15 expression, delivered intratumorally. Prior Phase I dose-escalation data in China and the US indicated strong safety and early signs of activity, with no dose-limiting toxicities or maximum tolerated dose identified. The trial aims to determine an RP2D and further assess anti-tumor activity in patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. Eligible participants are adults 18–75 who consent, meet disease criteria, and agree to contraception where applicable; key exclusions include recent unlisted drug therapy, major organ surgery, or active herpes-related infections. The study is sponsored by Virogin Biotech Ltd. and conducted at The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine (Hangzhou).
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience tumor control and potential therapeutic benefit from VG2025.
How similar studies have gone: Early Phase I data from prior studies showed favorable safety and hints of efficacy for this approach.
