About this trial

Nelitolimod is a classC toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist that binds to TLR9 receptors on myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) and helps reshape the tumor microenvironment (TME) and promote antitumor immunity. Investigators hypothesize that Nelitolimod can induce antitumor immune response in CRLM when administered regionally to the liver via a TriNav Pressure Enabled Drug Delivery (PEDD) catheter without compromising surgical feasibility or patient safety.

The study objective is to investigate the feasibility and safety of an innovative immunotherapeutic approach for patients with CRLM designed to overcome the immunosuppressive TME in CRLM. Investigators hypothesize that this investigational neoadjuvant treatment will be well tolerated and will not prevent patients from undergoing successful, safe CRLM liver resections. Investigators will assess the safety and feasibility of Nelitolimod given via TriNav PEDD in 10 patients with CRLM prior to liver resection. Patients will receive standard treatment with chemotherapy and then undergo placement of the PEDD catheter. Patients will then receive 3 doses of Nelitolimod before undergoing liver resection.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Capable of giving signed informed consent, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in this protocol. A signed informed consent must be obtained prior to conducting any study-specific procedures.

Male or female adults 18 years of age or older on day of signing informed consent.

Radiographically confirmed metastatic adenocarcinoma to the liver from a colon or rectum primary tumor that is amenable to resection. TXNXM1+

Only participants with liver-limited, resectable metastatic disease are eligible for participation (ablations are allowed to achieve an R0 intention-to-treat outcome).

Disqualifiers

• Systemic therapy with immunosuppressive agents within 7 days or use of any investigational drug within 28 days before the start of trial treatment.

Prior exposure to any immune checkpoint blockade agent or any other immunomodulatory agent used as antineoplastic therapy for metastatic CRC.

Receipt of any organ transplantation, including allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Active autoimmune disease that might deteriorate when receiving an immunostimulatory agent, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which in the opinion of the Investigator might impair the subject's tolerance or ability to participate in the trial.
