A Phase 2 interventional study of Dexamethasone and PDS01ADC in Metastatic Colorectal Cancer (Mcrc), Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma (Icc) and Intrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer, sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI). Recruiting at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 120 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-16.
Sponsored by National Cancer Institute (NCI) · Phase 2, Interventional, and Treatment
Background:
One way to treat liver cancer is to deliver chemotherapy drugs only to the liver (and not to the whole body). Researchers want to see if adding the drug PDS01ADC can improve the treatment. The drug triggers the immune system to fight cancer.\<TAB>
Objective:
To see if treatment with HAIPs to deliver liver-directed FUDR and Dexamethasone chemotherapy in combination with PDS01ADC is effective for certain cancers.
Eligibility:
People aged 18 and older who have cancer of the bile ducts that is only in the liver, or colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver, or cancer of the adrenal glands that has spread to the liver, who are also receiving or planning to receive standard systemic chemotherapy for their disease.
Design:
Participants will be screened with:
Medical history
Physical exam
Blood tests
Pregnancy test (if needed)
Tumor biopsy (if needed)
Electrocardiogram
Computed tomography (CT) scans
Participants will have an abdominal operation. A catheter will be placed into an artery that feeds blood to the liver. The catheter will then be attached to the HAIP. The HAIP will lay under the skin on the left side of the abdomen.
All participants will have liver-directed FUDR and Dexamethasone chemotherapy drugs or heparin with saline infused into the HAIP every 2 weeks. PDS01ADC will be injected under the skin every 4 weeks. They will receive this treatment until their cancer gets worse or they have bad side effects.
Participants will also receive standard systemic chemotherapy for their disease, assigned based on diagnosis, through an IV by their medical oncologist (at NIH or by a local provider) every 2 weeks.
Participants will have 2 study visits at NIH each month. They will have CT scans every 8 weeks. At visits, they will repeat some screening tests.
Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after treatment ends. Then they will be contacted every 6 months for 5 years.
Background:
Regional chemotherapy for hepatic malignancies takes advantage of the fact that tumors are perfused almost exclusively by the hepatic artery and, that the agent used (Floxuridine, FUDR) has a 95% first-pass metabolism by the liver.
Early clinical trials performed during the 1970's and 1980's demonstrated impressive response rates that led to the adoption of hepatic artery infusion pump chemotherapy (HAIP) at select centers; however, little has changed in the ensuing decades with respect to regional
therapy for the liver, although there has been continued and even renewed interest.
Dose reductions of FUDR are common after several treatments, which has limited both the magnitude and duration of treatment responses in many cases.
We posit that the logical and much-needed "next step" in regional therapy is to take advantage of the FUDR-induced tumor necrosis with an agent able to activate local tumor immunity for a synergistic effect.
PDS01ADC is an immunocytokine composed of two IL-12 heterodimers, each fused to the H-chain of the NHS76 antibody. The NHS76 IgG1 antibody has affinity for both single- and double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), and targets regions of tumor necrosis where DNA has become exposed. PDS01ADC targets necrotic areas of the tumor and activates immune cells in the tumor microenvironment to induce a Th1 polarization of lymphocytes and the release of IFN-gamma. IFN-gamma in turn induces a host of immunomodulatory effects that contribute to robust antitumor responses that are localized within the tumor microenvironment, with no systemic distribution or exposure to IL-12.
Data from a recent Phase I study demonstrate that subcutaneous administration of PDS01ADC is safe and a MTD has been determined. Moreover, preclinical models indicate that PDS01ADC synergizes with therapies able to effectively induce tumor necrosis, which may also minimize toxicity by limiting off-target exposure.
Objective:
-To determine the objective response rate (ORR) in participants with unresectable metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC), or adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) with liver dominant disease treated with PDS01ADC in combination with HAIP in participants receiving systemic therapy

EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
Exclusion Criteria- All Cohorts
Participants who are receiving any other agents.
Participants with active diseases, that might deteriorate when receiving an immunostimulatory agent with the exceptions:
Exclusion Criteria-Metastatic Colorectal Carcinoma
-Participants with incontrovertible radiographic evidence of disease outside of the colon/rectum (primary) and liver given unlikelihood of benefit from liver-directed therapy.
Note: Lung lesions seen on CT do not always represent metastases. They are very hard to qualify, therefore exception to this exclusion is participants with fewer than five lung lesions greater than 1 cm that have not increased in size by more than 10% over a 4-month period of time and are amenable to resection should subsequent problematic growth occur. Lesions less than 1 cm are indeterminant as far as etiology is concerned and will be ignored. Participants with liver metastases and oligometastatic lung lesions (we define oligometastatic as less than 5 amenable to thoracoscopic removal) are still likely to benefit from liver directed therapy.
Exclusion Criteria-Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma
-Presence of distant metastatic disease. Clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease to regional lymph nodes will be allowed, provided it is amenable to resection.
Note: Lung lesions seen on CT do not always represent metastases. They are very hard to qualify, therefore exception to this exclusion is participants with fewer than five lung lesions greater than 1 cm that have not increased in size by more than 10% over a 4-month period of time and are amenable to resection should subsequent problematic growth occur. Lesions less than 1 cm are indeterminate as far as etiology is concerned and will be ignored. Participants with liver metastases and oligometastatic lung lesions (we define oligometastatic as less than 5 amenable to thoracoscopic removal) are still likely to benefit from liver directed therapy.
Exclusion Criteria-Adrenocortical Carcinoma
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.
Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).
Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.
Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).
Your pathology report is the document that shows this.
A line of therapy is one course of treatment, which may combine several drugs. First-line is the first course given; second-line follows when that stops working or is not tolerated.
“Two prior lines” means two courses that count separately under the study’s rules — not simply two drugs. Ask the study team if you are unsure how yours are counted.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².
Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.
A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.
Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.
The amount of disease can be tracked with a defined measurement, so the study can see whether it shrinks or grows. It might be a tumour measured on a scan or, in some blood cancers such as myeloma, a marker measured in blood or urine.
The criteria or the study team say which measurement counts — having no tumour visible on a scan does not by itself rule you out.
A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.
It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.
A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.
Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.
A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.
Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.
The New York Heart Association’s four classes of how much heart failure limits physical activity.
Studies set their own limit — many outside heart failure leave out class III–IV, while heart failure studies may ask for a particular class. Check the class this study names.
Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.
Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.
Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.
Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.
The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.
“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.
PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.
PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Started Oct 2022 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2027, 62 months after the start.
Of 498 non-industry phase 2 interventional studies under Colorectal Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 55 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 33 and three quarters within 75. This study's planned 62 months is above that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 618 studies reached it within 49 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 75.
How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.
