III. Scientific Abstract This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of in vivo gene transfer of the Herpes Simplex-thymidine kinase (HStk) gene using PA317/LTKOSN.2 vector producing cells (VPC) in patients with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer. Insertion of the HStk gene into tumor cells confers a sensitivity to the anti-herpes drug ganciclovir (GCV). The HStk/GCV system induces a bystander effect and an anti-tumor immune response. HStk VPC have destroyed intraperitoneal tumors growing in animals. This selective destruction of growing tumors in situ is thought to result from the production of toxic GCV metabolites within the tumor. This procedure has resulted in the cure of experimental animals with limited toxicity. Therefore, we propose to apply this technique for the treatment of refractory or relapsed ovarian cancer. Adult women (≥18 years) with recurrent or refractory ovarian cancer, will be evaluated for the extent and location(s) of their disease before being entered into the study. Pat...
