A Clinical Trial of AdNRGM Plus CB1954 in Prostate Cancer

Plain-language summary
This is an open label, non-randomised, phase I, sequential group trial which will explore the safety and tolerability of ascending doses of AdNRGM, in combination with CB1954. Five groups of 3 patients each will be treated with escalating doses of AdNRGM (10\^10, 3x10\^10, 10\^11, 3x10\^11, 10\^12 vp) followed 2 days later by intravenous CB1954 at a fixed dose (24mg/m\^2). To ensure the coverage of the whole prostate the vector will be delivered by multiple, template-guided trans-perineal injections using an adaptation of standard prostate brachytherapy technique. Dose escalation will be dependent on safety and tolerability; at each dose-level, if dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is seen in one patient, the cohort will be expanded to a maximum of 6 patients. If DLT is then observed in a second patient at that dose, no further patients will be recruited and the previous (lower) dose-level will be defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). If DLT is seen in 0/3 or just 1/6 patients, dose escalation may continue.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patients who present with biopsy-proven local recurrence of prostate cancer following radical radiotherapy and a rising PSA with or without androgen suppression with antiandrogens or LHRH agonist/antagonist therapy or after bilateral orchidectomy. A rising PSA is defined as 2 increases over 3 or 4 readings over a minimum period of 6 weeks, with time-points separated by at least 2 weeks. If the patient is on antiandrogens or LHRH agonist/antagonist therapy, this therapy should be continued.
* Life expectancy greater than 3 months.
* Aged at least 18 years.
* Written informed consent.
* World Health Organisation (WHO) performance status of 0-1.
* PSA value ≥ 2 and ≤ 100 ng/ml at study entry.
* Adequate hepatic function (i.e. bilirubin, AST, ALT all \< 1.5 x upper limit of normal for Institution).
* Normal renal function (\<1.25 x upper normal limit for the Institution).
* Adequate haematological function (i.e. haemoglobin \> 10g/dl, WCC \> 3x109/l, platelets \> 150x10\^9/l) and normal clotting (INR and APTT \<1.2).
* Patients must agree not to father a child within 12 months following AdNRGM administration, and must use at least two methods of contraception, one of which is barrier, starting from the time of AdNRGM administration for at least 12 months.
* No known immuno-incompetence.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients with a prostate or abnormal focus which is deemed clinically unsuitable for trans-perineal template-guided injection.
* Patients who have pr…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
