ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00072098

Purpose

RATIONALE: Inserting the interleukin-12 gene into a person's cancer cells may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of interleukin-12 gene when injected into the tumors of patients with liver metastases secondary to colorectal cancer.

Estimated Enrollment:	36
Study Start Date:	September 2003

Detailed Description:

OBJECTIVES:

Determine the toxicity and maximum tolerated dose of intratumoral adenoviral vector-delivered interleukin-12 gene in patients with liver metastases secondary to colorectal cancer .
Determine the tumor response in patients treated with this regimen.
Determine the immune response in patients treated with this regimen.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.

Patients receive ultrasound-guided intratumoral injections of adenoviral vector-delivered interleukin-12 gene (ADV-hIL12) on day 1.

Cohorts of 3-6 patients receive escalating doses of ADV-hIL12 until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined. The MTD is defined as the dose preceding that at which 2 of 3 or 2 of 6 patients experience dose-limiting toxicity.

Patients are followed at days 11, 15, 29, 43, and 57 and are then followed for survival thereafter.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 30-36 patients will be accrued for this study.
