Condition(s) studied
NF2 Deficiency
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
ST002
ST002: Single multi-point intra-tumoral injection of ST002, a lentiviral vector designed to drive expression of the NF2 protein product, Merlin.
Study summary
This is an open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation pilot study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of ST002 in the treatment of patients with NF2 mutation-related solid tumors. ST002 injection is a gene therapy product designed for NF2. By reinserting the normal XXX gene into genetically deficient tumor cells, the product expresses Merlin. This regulates gene transcription in tumor cells, controls the tumor microenvironment, and inhibits tumor growth and invasion, achieving therapeutic effects.

* Patients with poorly controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure\>150 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure\>100 mmHg under regular medication control), as well as those with a history of hypertensive crisis or hypertensive brain disease;
* Suffering from unstable angina or acute myocardial infarction, or having a history of both within the past six months;
* Patients with a history of malignant tumors within the past 5 years, except for cured basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, cervical cancer, and gastrointestinal cancer;

Primary outcome measure(s)
Safety evaluation — From baseline to Week 24 after administration Evaluate the incidence of drug-related adverse events (AEs) and adverse events (SAEs) from baseline to Week 24 after administration, with a focus on neurotoxicity and genome-wide integration carcinogenic risks.
