AdUP: AdNRGM; VDEPT + GMCSF in locally recurrent prostate cancer
ISRCTN ISRCTN06254734
DOI 10.1186/ISRCTN06254734
ClinicalTrials.gov identifier
EudraCT number 2007-700341-13
Public title AdUP: AdNRGM; VDEPT + GMCSF in locally recurrent prostate cancer
Scientific title AdUP: A Phase I Clinical Trial of a replication defective type 5 adenovirus vector expressing nitroreductase and GMCSF (AdNRGM) given via trans-perineal, template-guided, intra-prostatic injection, followed by intravenous CB1954, in patients with locally relapsed hormone-refractory Prostate Cancer
Acronym AdUP
Serial number at source 13599
Study hypothesis The main purpose of this trial is to determine safety and tolerability of a gene therapy strategy for the treatment of locally relapsed prostate cancer. The gene therapy is based on the intraprostatic injection of a viral vector (AdNRGM) carrying a gene called GMCSF which is able to induce a strong immune response against the prostate cancer, and a gene called NTR which is able to convert an inactive compound called CB1954 (prodrug) to a powerful anti-cancer drug. To ensure coverage of the whole prostate the vector will be administered by multiple stereotactically-guided intraprostatic injections. 48 hours after the injection of the viral vector, the prodrug CB1954 will be administered intravenously. It is expected that the combination of the immune response induced by the GMCSF and the activation of the prodrug C1954 operated by NTR within the tumour tissue will result in the death of a significant number of prostate cancer cells.

Ethics approval Oxford A, 07/12/2012, ref: 12_SC_0660
Study design Non-randomised interventional; Design type: Treatment
Countries of recruitment United Kingdom
Disease/condition/study domain Prostate Cancer
Participants - inclusion criteria 1. Patients who present with biopsy proven local recurrence of prostate cancer following radical radiotherapy and a rising PSA while on androgen suppression with LHRH agonist therapy or after bilateral orchidectomy. A rising PSA is defined as 3 consecutive increases (measured by the same laboratory) over a minimum period of 6 weeks, with timepoints separated by at least 15 days. If the patient is on LHRH agonist therapy, this therapy should be continued.
2. Life expectancy greater than 3 months
3. Aged at least 18 years
4. Written informed consent
5. WHO performance status of 0-1 (Appendix 2)
6. PSA value = 4 and = 25 ng/ml at study entry
7. Adequate hepatic function (i.e. bilirubin, AST, ALT all < 1.5 x upper limit of normal for Institution)
8. Normal renal function (<1.25 x upper normal limit for the Institution)
9. Adequate haematological function (i.e. haemoglobin > 10g/dl, WCC > 3x109/l, platelets > 150x109/l) and normal clotting (INR and APTT <1.2)
10. Patients must agree not to father a child within 12 months following AdNRGM administration, and must practice a barrier method of contraception starting from the time of AdNRGM administration for at least 12 months
11. No known immunoincompetence
Participants - exclusion criteria 1. Patients with a prostate or tumour which is deemed clinically unsuitable for transperineal templateguided injection
2. Patients who have previously been treated with prostate brachytherapy
3. Patients who have received chemotherapy, radiotherapy or immunotherapy within 28 days of study entry
4. Acute active infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal) which requires specific therapy
5. Chronic hepatitis B or C infection, HIV positive patients. (Patients will be tested for HBV/HCV, but not HIV)
6. Concurrent severe medical illnesses incompatible with the treatment including psychiatric pathology likely to affect
protocol compliance
7. Tumours of other organs or tissues still active or treated radically less that 3 years before (except that successfully treated, nonmetastatic skin cancers are not an exclusion criterion)
8. Concurrent corticosteroids, or any medication known to have significant immunosuppressive action
9. Patients unable to travel for regular hospital assessments
10. Evidence of adenovirus infection and/or shedding at prescreening
