New injection shrinks sarcoma tumors in early trial

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Are willing and able to provide written informed consent for the study prior to any protocol-specific procedures and to comply with all local and study requirements. 2. Are ≥ 18 years of age on the day of providing informed consent. 3. Have advanced and/or metastatic disease of the body wall or extremities that is amenable to intratumoural injection either by palpation or under ultrasound guided injection, that has been histologically or pathologically confirmed as an STS. STS located on the scalp may also be considered for treatment. 4. Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2. 5. Have life expectancy of more than 12 weeks. 6. Have adequate renal and hepatic function as assessed by the Investigator. 7. Female participants who are Women Of Child-Bearing Potential (WOCBP) must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening (within 14 days of the first study drug administration), must be willing to use a highly effective contraception from date of consent, throughout the study period and up to 30 days after the last study drug administration, and must not be breastfeeding. 8. Male participants with a potentially fertile female partner are eligible if they have had a vasectomy or are willing to use adequate contraception from prior to commencement of study drug administration, throughout the study period and up to 30 days after the last study drug administration, and must not donate sperm throughout the study period and up to 30 days after the last study drug administration. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Are planning to receive intratumoural treatment or radiotherapy to any of the tumours intended for injection within 28 days prior to Screening, or during treatment with tigilanol tiglate. 2. Have a tumour intended for injection that is immediately adjacent to, or with infiltration into, any major artery or vein (e.g., if the tumour for injection is located adjacent to the jugular vein). 3. Are receiving or have received other investigational agents or have used an investigational device without undergoing a 28-day (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) wash-out period prior to their first treatment with tigilanol tiglate. These patients must have recovered from all AEs due to previous investigational therapies to ≤ Grade 1 at baseline. 4. Are receiving or have received systemic anticancer therapy, without undergoing a 28-day (or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter) wash-out period prior to their first treatment with tigilanol tiglate. These patients must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤ Grade 1 at baseline. Patients with ≤ Grade 2 neuropathy may be eligible following discussion with Sponsor Medical Monitor. 5. Have had major surgery within 28 days of their first treatment with tigilanol tiglate or anticipate the need for major surgery during the study period. Minor surgical procedures are permitted, but with sufficient time for wound healing. 6. Have known, active brain metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants who have previously treated brain metastases and are neurologically stable can be included. 7. Have any bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy that would make intratumoural injection or biopsy unsafe, or if they are on therapeutic warfarin therapy. 8. Have a history of allergic reactions or severe hypersensitivity (Grade ≥ 3) attributed to tigilanol tiglate or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to tigilanol tiglate, any of its excipients or other agents used in the study. 9. In the opinion of the treating Investigator, they are not an appropriate candidate for the study for any reason (e.g., they have known psychiatric or substance abuse disorder that would interfere with their ability to cooperate with the requirements of the study.
