Researchers are evaluating the best dose and side effects of a modified vesicular stomatitis virus vaccine called VSV-hIFNb2-NIS, alone or combined with cyclophosphamide and immunotherapy drugs ipilimumab, nivolumab, and cemiplimab. This phase I trial focuses on patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or lymphoma that has returned or not responded to previous treatments. The study aims to find the maximum tolerated dose and assess safety, clinical response, and survival outcomes for these patients. Participants are assigned to one of several groups receiving different combinations of treatments. These include intravenous infusions of VSV-hIFNb2-NIS, cyclophosphamide, cemiplimab, nivolumab, ipilimumab, and oral ruxolitinib on specific days. The study also involves advanced imaging techniques like PETCT and SPECTCT scans, biopsies of tumors or lymph nodes, and collection of blood, urine, and buccal cell samples. Some groups have closed enrollment, while others continue with expansion cohorts. During the trial, participants undergo screening with scans and lab tests, then receive treatments as scheduled. Follow-up visits occur on days 15 and 29, at 6 weeks, and then every 3 months up to one year or until disease progression, followed by visits every 6 months until 2 years after registration. Researchers monitor adverse events, clinical responses, progression-free survival, overall survival, viral distribution, immune cell responses, and pharmacodynamics through various laboratory and imaging assessments throughout the study.

This table compares participation in this trial with other options available for this condition. The information is drawn from published research and the trial’s study details and is provided for educational purposes only.
| Factors | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS + ruxolitinib | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS + ruxolitinib + cyclophosphamide | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS + ruxolitinib + nivolumab + ipilimumab | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS + cemiplimab + ruxolitinib |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A combination investigational regimen with an engineered oncolytic virus (VSV-hIFNβ-NIS) plus ruxolitinib, given to adults with relapsed or refractory blood cancers on a clinical trial. | An investigational combination using VSV-hIFNβ-NIS, ruxolitinib, and cyclophosphamide for adults with relapsed or refractory hematological malignancies in a study setting. | A multiple myeloma-specific trial regimen combining VSV-hIFNβ-NIS, ruxolitinib, nivolumab, and ipilimumab, all investigational agents for this population in the trial. | A regimen for relapsed PTCL combining VSV-hIFNβ-NIS, cemiplimab, and ruxolitinib, assigned in the experimental study for lymphoma. |
| Role in trial | Assigned as an experimental combination arm to assess safety and early signs of activity. | Tests if adding cyclophosphamide to the backbone enhances anti-tumor activity or impacts tolerability. | Specific to multiple myeloma, this arm explores whether combining oncolytic therapy and checkpoint inhibitors is feasible and active. | Designed for the relapsed PTCL cohort to evaluate the feasibility and effects of combining an oncolytic virus, ruxolitinib, and cemiplimab. |
| Primary use or target | Treatment of adults with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma, lymphoma, or related blood cancers who have no curative options. | Exploration of tolerability and anti-tumor activity in adults with relapsed or refractory hematological cancers for whom standard therapies have failed. | Designed to target relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma with a combination of immune and oncolytic therapies. | Used in relapsed PTCL to evaluate the impact of a novel virus-based therapy in combination with immune checkpoint inhibition. |
| How it is given or performed | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS is given by intravenous infusion and ruxolitinib is taken orally as per protocol schedule. | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS (IV), ruxolitinib (oral), and cyclophosphamide (IV) are delivered according to study dosing schedules. | Given as intravenous infusions for VSV-hIFNβ-NIS, nivolumab, and ipilimumab, with ruxolitinib taken orally according to defined cycles. | VSV-hIFNβ-NIS and cemiplimab are infused intravenously, ruxolitinib is taken by mouth. Dosing intervals follow protocol assignments. |
| Evidence status | Ongoing clinical investigation; results for this experimental arm are not yet established. | Ongoing clinical investigation; published results for this combination in this setting are not currently available. | No efficacy results are yet available for this investigational combination for multiple myeloma. | No published outcomes currently established for this PTCL regimen used in the trial. |
| Important limitations | Evidence is limited to early-stage clinical investigation without data on long-term outcomes or overall survival. | Limited to small cohort and early trial phase, lacking comparative efficacy against non-investigational standard therapies. | The investigational combination has not been previously studied in myeloma, and no comparator arm allows direct evaluation versus current standard care. | This regimen is unproven in PTCL, enrollment is small, and lack of a standard-care control arm means outcomes versus current options are not yet known. |

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
Duration - Treatment duration varies by group and continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity
Participants receive VSV-hIFNb2-NIS vaccine alone or in combination with cyclophosphamide, ipilimumab, nivolumab, cemiplimab, or ruxolitinib according to their assigned group. Treatments are given intravenously or by mouth on scheduled days, with monitoring for disease progression and side effects.
Duration - Up to 2 years
Participants are followed up on days 15 and 29, at 6 weeks, and then every 3 months for up to one year or until disease progression, followed by visits every 6 months until 2 years after registration. Assessments include imaging scans, biopsies, and sample collections to monitor safety and treatment response.
