A Phase II Study of Repeat Intranodal Injections of Adenovirus-CD154 (Ad-ISF35) in Patients With Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Follicular, Diffuse Large Cell, Mantle Cell and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma/Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia)
This is a Phase II, open label, fixed dose, repeat injection, single institution study.
Eligible subjects will receive up to six doses of Ad-ISF35 injected directly into a selected
lymph node under ultrasound guidance. The primary goal is to determine and monitor clinical
and biological responses in patients treated with repeat intranodal injections of Ad-ISF35.
Eligible subjects will receive up to six doses of Ad-ISF35 injected directly into a selected
lymph node under ultrasound guidance. The primary goal is to determine and monitor clinical
and biological responses in patients treated with repeat intranodal injections of Ad-ISF35.
This is a phase II clinical trial in which study subjects will be treated with multiple
doses of Ad-ISF35 given via intranodal injection using a fixed dose of 3.3 x 10^10 ISF35
viral particles. Intranodal injections will be administered every 2-4 weeks up to six total
injections.
This will be the first time that repeat administration of Ad-ISF35 will be performed via
intranodal injection in subjects with a diagnosis other than CLL/SLL. Therefore, in order to
allow sufficient time to evaluate the safety and toxicity of this procedure in non-CLL/SLL
patients, we will treat the first three non-CLL/SLL subjects with inpatient admission for 24
hours observation at the GCRC-UCSD. If no serious adverse events are observed in these first
three patients after they have received their first two injections of ISF35 and have been
observed for at least 28 days, then we will proceed with enrollment of cohorts of four
subjects per month. This will be done at one week intervals until study enrollment is
completed. These subjects will be treated as outpatients at the GCRC and observed for 3
hours prior to discharge.
All subjects with a diagnosis of CLL or SLL will be treated as outpatients at the GCRC and
observed for 3 hours prior to discharge. These subjects will not need to be treated in an
inpatient setting, based on our previous clinical experience with subjects enrolled on the
phase II study of repeat intranodal injections of Ad-ISF35 in CLL/SLL
ISF35 has already been used in Phase I clinical trials. The trials demonstrated that ISF35
treatment is well-tolerated and patients did not experience any significant or unexpected
adverse events. Patients reported flu-like symptoms from ISF35, which disappeared within one
to three days.
