A Randomized Phase 2 Study Assessing the Efficacy and Safety of Olvimulogene Nanivacirepvec Followed by Platinum-doublet Chemotherapy + Physician's Choice of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor Compared With Docetaxel in Patients With NSCL Cancer After First Progression While on Front-line Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor-based Maintenance
Genelux Corporation
Summary
This Phase 2, open-label, randomized study in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an intravenously delivered oncolytic vaccinia virus, Olvi-Vec, followed by platinum-doublet chemotherapy + Physician's Choice of Immune Checkpoint Inhibitor (ICI) vs. docetaxel for patients with advanced or metastatic NSCLC who have shown first disease progression (i.e., progressive disease not yet confirmed by further scan after initial scan showing progression) while on front-line treatment or maintenance ICI therapy after front-line treatment with platinum-doublet chemotherapy + ICI as standard of care.
Description
Olvi-Vec (olvimulogene nanivacirepvec, aka GL-ONC1; laboratory name: GLV-1h68) is an oncolytic vaccinia virus-based immunotherapy that has been shown to have broad infectivity in a wide range of tumor types including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In preclinical studies, Olvi-Vec was shown to infect and kill NSCLC cells and tumors in vitro and in vivo, respectively, and resolved and prevented formation of malignant effusion. This study is to test the hypothesis that the combination of Olvi-Vec followed by further platinum-based chemotherapy plus an ICI is particularly effective against es…
