Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine the safety and efficacy of of ACM-CpG for inoperable peritoneal metastases or malignant ascites. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• To determine the safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal biologic dose (OBD) of intraperitoneal injection(s) of ACM-CpG for inoperable peritoneal metastases or malignant ascites? Researchers will assign treatment levels using escalating doses of ACM-CpG Therapy.

Participants will:

* Will receive at least one dose of ACM-CpG therapy on Day 1 of a 28-day treatment cycle.
* May receive up to 2 additional injections if they have clinically stable or responsive disease.
* Must visit the clinic on Days 1, 4, 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 for checkups and tests.
* Will have a CT scan or MRI performed every 8 weeks for 3 scans and then continue to receive scans every 12 weeks to monitor their disease.

Conditions

  • Malignant Ascites
  • Colorectal Adenocarcinoma
  • Peritoneal (Metastatic) Cancer
  • Appendiceal Adenocarcinoma

Interventions

DRUG

ACM-CpG

The dose of ACM-CpG therapy to be infused by intraperitoneal injection will be dependent upon the dose level being delivered at the time of patient enrollment. Dose Levels C1D1 ACM-CpG Dose -1a (step down dose) 0.1 mg 1. (starting dose) 0.25 mg 2. 0.5 mg 3. 1.0 mg 4. 2.0 mg 5. 4.0 mg 6. 8.0 mg 7. (optional) 10.0 mg
