Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm A (VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, SPECT/CT, TFB-PET, biopsy)
Patients receive VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS IV over 60-90 minutes on day 1. After 2 days, patients receive technetium Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate IV, and about 30 minutes later, undergo whole body planar imaging and SPECT/CT imaging or receive fluorine F18 tetrafluoroborate IV and undergo TFB-PET imaging. If previous imaging data are positive, patients receive technetium Tc-99m sodium pertechnetate IV and undergo another planar and SPECT/CT imaging or fluorine F18 tetrafluoroborate IV and undergo another TFB-PET imaging between 7-10 days and on 15 days if needed after VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS infusion. Biopsy of accessible NIS image-positive tumors may occur after any imaging. Patients also undergo image-guided biopsy of accessible tumor on day 29.

- Maximum tolerated dose of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS (alone and in combination with ruxolitinib phosphate) [ Time Frame: Up to 28 days ]Graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4. Defined as the highest safely-tolerated dose level where at most one patient out of six experiences dose limiting toxicities (DLT) with the next higher dose level having at least 2 of 6 patients who have experienced DLT.
- Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4. Frequency distributions and other descriptive measures will form the basis of the analysis of these variables. Simple summary statistics will be supplemented with Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and related confidence intervals.
- Number of clinical responses [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Defined as complete response, partial response, or stable disease assessed by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 criteria. Will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics across all patients in each group as well as by dose level and primary type of cancer (EC).
- Viral replication and shedding in blood, throat washings, urine, and buccal swabs assessed via quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Descriptive statistics and scatterplots will form the basis of presentation of these variables. Correlations with other outcome measures will be carried out by standard parametric and non-parametric tests (e.g. Pearson's and Spearman's rho).
- Biodistribution and kinetics of virus spread and NIS gene expression in vivo [ Time Frame: Up to day 10 ]Assessed via single-photon emission computed tomography/computed tomography. Will be correlated with tumor distribution.
- Time until treatment related grade 3+ toxicity [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Graded according to the NCI CTCAE version 4. Simple summary statistics will be supplemented with Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and related confidence intervals. The effect of dose and ancillary dichotomized covariates such as age will be explored using logrank testing involving one covariate at a time.
- Time until hematologic nadirs (white blood cells, absolute neutrophil count, platelets) [ Time Frame: Up to 1 year ]Simple summary statistics will be supplemented with Kaplan-Meier survival estimates and related confidence intervals. The effect of dose and ancillary dichotomized covariates such as age will be explored using logrank testing involving one covariate at a time.
