Brief Title: IL-2 Expressing, Attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium in Unresectable Hepatic Spread
Official Title: A Phase 1 Study of an IL-2 Expressing, Attenuated Salmonella Typhimurium in Patients With Unresectable Hepatic Spread From Any Non-Hematologic Primary
Study ID: NCT01099631
Brief Summary: The working hypothesis is that oral administration of an attenuated strain of Salmonella typhimurium is safe and efficacious for patients with unresectable hepatic metastasis from a solid tumor cancer. The primary objective of the study is to determine the MTD of Salmonella typhimurium in the treatment.
Detailed Description: This phase I study will be done to evaluate a dose escalation scheme of oral administration of an attenuated strain of Salmonella typhimurium expressing human interleukin-2 (IL-2) in patients with unresectable hepatic metastases from a solid tumor cancer. Standard Phase I dose escalation scheme will be used to determine the MTD of Salmonella Typhimurium. Six dose levels of Salmonella will be studied with a minimum of 3 patients enrolled in a dose level.
