TLR9 Immunotherapy for Peritoneal Carcinomatosis (TIPC) - Phase 1 Study of the Safety and Efficacy of ACM-CpG Intraperitoneal Injections for Treatment in Patients With Colorectal or Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma Peritoneal Metastases or Malignant Ascites
Brown University
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of of ACM-CpG for inoperable peritoneal metastases or malignant ascites. The main questions it aims to answer are: • To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal biologic dose (OBD) of intraperitoneal injection(s) of ACM-CpG for inoperable peritoneal metastases or malignant ascites? Researchers will assign treatment levels using escalating doses of ACM-CpG Therapy. Participants will: * Will receive at least one dose of ACM-CpG therapy on Day 1 of a 28-day treatment cycle. * May receive up to 2 additional injections if they have clinically stable or responsive disease. * Must visit the clinic on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 for checkups and tests. * Will have a CT scan or MRI performed every 8 weeks for 3 scans and then continue to receive scans every 12 weeks to monitor their disease.
Description
Escalating doses of ACM-CpG Therapy will use a standard 3+3 design.
