Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is an open-label study to evaluate safety and potential efficacy of Allocetra-OTS in the treatment of patients with peritoneal metastasis as an add-on to the standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

Pressurized Intra-Peritoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy (PIPAC) is utilized in patients with malignant dissemination to the peritoneal cavity, for the treatment of peritoneal metastasis that have a high tumor burden or are unresectable, and are unresponsive to systemic therapy.

Allocetra-OTS is an immunomodulatory cell-based therapy consisting of allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells that have been modified to be engulfed by macrophages and reprogram them into their homeostatic state.

The study will evaluate the safety and potential efficacy of Allocetra-OTS in the treatment of peritoneal metastasis as an add-on to the standard of care (SoC) chemotherapy. Patients will be treated with escalating doses of Allocetra-OTS as an add-on to the chemotherapy administered via PIPAC, and in addition to systemic chemotherapy.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cohorts 1-2

Escalating doses of Allocetra-OTS up to 10 x 10^9 cells.

Drug: Allocetra-OTS
Allocetra-OTS is a cell-based therapy consisting of non-HLA matched allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells, derived from a healthy human donor following a leukapheresis procedure, induced to an apoptotic stable state.

Experimental: Cohorts 3-4

Allocetra-OTS at the maximal tolerated dose.

Drug: Allocetra-OTS
Allocetra-OTS is a cell-based therapy consisting of non-HLA matched allogeneic peripheral blood mononuclear cells, derived from a healthy human donor following a leukapheresis procedure, induced to an apoptotic stable state.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Number and severity of Allocetra-OTS related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) [16 weeks]

    Number and severity of Allocetra-OTS related adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) during 16-week period starting from the first administration of study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Best Overall Response Rates (BORR) [16 weeks]

    Best Overall Response Rates (BORR) will be comprised of clinical, radiological and pathology assessments.

  2. Change in specific cancer markers [16 weeks]

    Change in the specific cancer markers (CEA, CA-19-9, CA-125) from baseline to each post-PIPAC assessment.

  3. Progression-free survival (PFS) [6 months]

    Progression-free survival (PFS) assessed based on imaging data (PET/CT)

  4. Overall Survival (OS) [12 months]

    OS up to 12 months from the first administration of study treatment.

  5. Change in quality of life [16 weeks]

    Change in quality of life according to EORTC QLQ-CR29 from screening to 16 weeks.

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Additional Safety Endpoint: Number and severity of related AEs and SAEs throughout 6 months from the first administration of study treatment. [6 months]

    Number and severity of related AEs and SAEs throughout 6 months from the first administration of study treatment.

  2. Exploratory Endpoint: Change in macrophages and immune cells characteristics in peritoneal fluid [12 weeks]

    Change in macrophages and immune cells characteristics in peritoneal fluid and tissues from baseline up to 12 weeks.
