Brief Title: Interferon-Beta Gene Transfer (Ad.hIFN-β) as Treatment for Refractory Colorectal Carcinoma With Liver Metastases
Official Title: A Phase I/II Study of Interferon-Beta Gene Transfer (Ad.hIFN-β) in the Treatment of Refractory Colorectal Carcinoma With Liver Metastases
Study ID: NCT00107861
Brief Summary: This study will be conducted in subjects with refractory colorectal carcinoma with unresectable liver metastases. The purposes of the study are: * to evaluate the safety and any harmful effects of an intravenous injection of Ad.hIFN-β; * help determine whether the virus carrying the interferon-beta gene will enter the bloodstream and liver tumor cells and cause the cancer cells to die.
Detailed Description: This trial is a clinical research study of Ad.hIFN-β, an investigational, replication-defective, recombinant adenovirus containing the human interferon beta gene, for people that have refractory colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases. Scientists have been exploring a variety of approaches to develop medications to treat patients with refractory colorectal carcinoma with liver metastases; a disease for which current treatment provides only limited relief, so there is a need for new medications.
