Arm Description

Single dose-escalation of ORCA-010, Dose Cohort 1: 1x10*11 viral particles. Single dose of ORCA-010 will be administered for the first subject only and all relevant safety data for this subject will be reviewed by the DSMB prior to enrolling additional subjects. After the DSMB review, subjects will be enrolled in groups of three (including the first subject) and assessed for safety and Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) after a single dose of ORCA-010. Group of 3 subjects. Dose will be escalated to the next cohort based on safety and toxicity results from the 3 treated subjects to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, if not determined by this cohort.

Single dose-escalation of ORCA-010, Dose Cohort 2: 5x10*11 viral particles. Group of 3 subjects. Dose will be escalated to the next cohort based on safety and toxicity results from the 3 treated subjects to determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose, if not determined by this cohort.

Single dose-escalation of ORCA-010, Dose Cohort 3: 1.5x10*12 viral particles. Group of 3 subjects. Dose will be considered as the Maximum Tolerated Dose based on safety and toxicity results from the 3 treated subjects.

Two dose administration of ORCA-010 seperated by 2 weeks, Dose Cohort 4: The Maximum Tolerated Dose depending on Phase I/ Part A results. Group of 12 subjects.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Safety profile of ORCA-010
To evaluate safety and tolerability of intratumoral administration of ORCA-010 according to CTCAE V5.0. The primary endpoint of this study is to assess Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) and the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) for ORCA-010 to determine the final safety dose of administration for Phase IIa/Part B.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Biological activity of ORCA-010
To explore the biological activity of intratumoral administration of ORCA-010. Biological activity of ORCA-010 will be measured by assessing viral replication by measuring ORCA-010 virus DNA in blood. In addition, virus replication and spread will be assessed by staining prostate cancer tissue obtained through prostate biopsies with adenovirus specific antibodies. Subject's serum will be assayed for antibody responses against ORCA-010.
Antitumor immune responses
To evaluate potential antitumor immune responses following ORCA-010 administration. Subject's serum will be analyzed for antibody responses against tumor-associated antigens (e.g. PSA, PSMA, PCA3, and Prostein). Subject's Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells (PBMCs) will also be analyzed for cellular immune responses against tumor-associated antigens. Prostate biopsies will be taken to detect local antitumor immunological reactions (eg. infiltration and activation of T cells).
Shedding of ORCA-010
Shedding of ORCA-010 will be assessed by detection of vector DNA in blood and urine using quantitative-PCR (Q-PCR).

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This open label, dose escalating study is a phase I/IIa first in man study designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of intratumoral administration of a novel oncolytic adenovirus (ORCA-010) in treating diagnosed treatment naïve Patients with localized prostate cancer.
Detailed Description
The study is divided into two parts. In Part A of the study, cohorts of subjects will be administered escalating doses of ORCA-010, using the 3+3 design. When the Maximum Tolerated Dose has been determined in Part A, a group of 12 new subjects will be treated in Part B of the study at this dose, with two administrations separated by a 2-week interval.
