Virus therapy takes on hard-to-treat ovarian cancer
NCT ID NCT06618235
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new treatment called THEO-260, a virus designed to attack cancer cells, in people with advanced ovarian cancer that no longer responds to platinum chemotherapy. About 44 participants will receive different doses of the virus through an IV to find a safe dose and see if it can shrink tumors. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, as ongoing management is expected.

Inclusion Criteria: * Confirmed histological diagnosis of advanced high grade serous or endometrioid cancer of the fallopian tube, primary peritoneum or ovary either on archival biopsy or fresh tumour biopsy. * Platinum-resistant disease (radiological recurrence/ progression with 6 months of prior platinum treatment), primary platinum-refractory disease (recurrence/ progression during first line platinum treatment) and patients who are intolerant to or have no available SOC or SOC unacceptable/ unsuitable in the view of the Investigator. * Life expectancy of \> 3 months. * ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. * Measurable disease as per RECIST V1.1. Exclusion Criteria: * Prior anti-cancer treatment within 28 days or 5 half-lives, prior to first dose of THEO-260. * Prior treatment with a group B adenovirus. * Currently enrolled in a clinical trial of an IMP or used any IMP with 5 half-live, prior to first dose of THEO-260. * Radiation therapy within 2 weeks of first dose of THEO-260 and is scheduled to have radiation therapy during participation of trial. * Clinical evidence of cerebral metastases or Central Nervous System (CNS) involvement including leptomeningeal disease. Patients with previous cerebral metastases must have no evidence of progression or haemorrhage after treatment. * Uncontrolled pleural effusion or pericardial effusion requiring recurrent drainage procedures (as defined as once monthly or more frequently). * Prior pneumonitis or history of interstitial lung disease. * Confirmed QTcF ≥470 ms on screening 12-lead ECG or history of Torsades de Pointes or history of congenital long QT syndrome. * Concomitant medications that prolong the QTc interval and/or increase the risk for Torsades de Pointes. * Patients with active hepatitis infection or hepatitis C. Patients with past hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection or resolved HBV infection. * Active infection with tuberculosis. * Active infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2). * Patients with active human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection or known history of HIV infection. * Active infection requiring IV antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to first dose of THEO-260, or long-term oral therapy for systemic infection. * Known contra-indications or hypersensitivity to the excipients of the IMP. * Viral infection during the 2 weeks prior to first dose of THEO-260. * Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years. * Known risk of renal injury, including those with a past history of acute or sub-acute renal disease. * Known heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class 2-4. * Known contra-indications or hypersensitivity to the AxMP, paracetamol. * Known alcohol consumption in excess of 2 units per day. * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%, unstable angina, serious uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmia, a myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to trial enrolment or a history of myocarditis. * Arterial oxygen saturation \<92% on room air prior to first dose of THEO-260. * Received any licensed or investigational vaccines within 28 days prior to first dose of THEO-260.
