Overview
This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm exploratory clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CMTS1215 (Proteus mirabilis) oncolytic bacteria injection for the treatment of solid tumors. The study aims to enroll at least 8 patients with histologically confirmed solid tumors who have failed or are unable to complete conventional first-line, second-line, or third-line anti-tumor therapies.
Description
Oncolytic bacteria are a class of bacteria that can specifically reproduce within tumors and cause tumor cell death while activating the host immune system. CMTS1215 is a Proteus mirabilis strain developed by the research team with demonstrated oncolytic effects in preclinical studies. The bacteria show excellent tumor tropism and have been shown to be safe and effective in mouse and canine models.
This study will evaluate the tumor response rate at 1 week and 4 weeks post-treatment according to RECIST 1.1 criteria, as well as assess the safety profile of the treatment. Patients will receive intratumoral injection of CMTS1215 under direct visualization or endoscopic guidance for up to 6-8 treatment cycles.
