ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00299962
  Purpose

This Phase I study will evaluate the safety of two doses of BG00001 at different doses and intervals. Eligible subjects will have:

  • malignant pleural mesothelioma, or
  • pleural effusions who have progressed through at least one prior therapy or have refused therapy

BG00001 is given twice through a catheter in the pleural space.

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • To determine toxicity of two doses of intrapleural BG00001 (Ad.hIFN-β over 8 days, and [ Time Frame: Through Day 85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • To assess systemic and intrapleural cytokine responses as well as cellular and humoral immune responses after repeated BG00001 instillation, [ Time Frame: Through Day 85 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
  • and to assess, in a preliminary way, efficacy via tumor regression, time to progression and survival. [ Time Frame: 15 years or until subject dies, whichever comes first ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Detailed Description:

Ad.hIFN-β (BG00001) is a replication-defective recombinant adenoviral vector containing the human interferon-beta (hIFN-β) gene. This Phase I study is designed to evaluate the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of two doses of intrapleural (IP) Ad.hIFN-β in subjects with pleural malignancies either metastatic or pleural mesothelioma.

Five dose levels will be studied:

  • Dose levels 1, 2, and 3 will be given on Days 1 and 15
  • Dose levels 4 and 5 will be given on Days 1 and 8
