Arm 1 ( Phase 2/3 Run in ): PRV111: Topical Locoregional Delivery Placed Over the Tumor Region Primary Endpoint: Overall Response Rate (ORR) Primary Objective: Demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PRV111 in patients with Carcinoma in Situ (CIS) (WHO 2017) Arm 2 (Phase 1) PRV211: Intraoperative Locoregional Delivery Placed into the Resected Tumor Bed Primary Endpoint: Safety Primary Objective: Determine Safety of PRV211 in intraoperative setting Subject Assignment: Subjects will be assigned
Interventions
DRUG
PRV211 (Intraoperative Cisplatin System)
PRV211 system is comprised of two parts, a liquid permeation enhancer (PE) and cisplatin patch. The permeation is brushed onto the resected tumor bed and after 5 minutes the patch can be applied directly over the same area. Apply up to 2 layers of the PRV211 system to the tumor bed post-resection. The duration of the PRV211 treatment takes approximately 10-20 minutes and then the surgeon can continue as planned with the rest of the standard of care procedure. The proposed starting dose is 0.5 mg/cm2 of cisplatin on the tumor bed. This approach can be safe and effective in preventing locoregional recurrence after surgery and eliminating high-risk factors for local recurrence, such as dysplasia at the margins.
DRUG
PRV111 (Cisplatin Transmucosal System)
PRV111 (Cisplatin Transmucosal System) is a thin, 2-layer, matrix-type, transmucosal patch consisting of a chitosan matrix layer embedded with cisplatin loaded chitosan particles (CLPs) and a non-woven fabric adhesive unidirectional backing, which is applied to the matrix layer during manufacturing. The patch is self-adhesive. In addition to the PRV111 patch, a separately packaged Permeation Enhancer (PE) Powder for Reconstitution used in conjunction with PRV111. The reconstituted PE Solution is intended to improve the absorption of the cisplatin active ingredient and will be applied prior to patch application.
DRUG
PRV131 (Cisplatin Intratumoral Injectable)
PRV131 is a nanoparticle-based cisplatin formulation designed for intratumoral administration. The product is supplied as a lyophilized powder and reconstituted with a separately packaged diluent to form a suspension for injection. The reconstituted suspension is administered directly into the tumor, with dosing customized based on tumor size and injection site distribution. Upon intratumoral administration, the nanoparticles facilitate deep tumor penetration and localized drug release, enabling high local cisplatin concentrations while minimizing systemic exposure.
Primary outcome measures
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time frame: 6-7 months
Proportion of treated tumors that have a response to PRV111 treatment. Response is defined as either or both: 1) histopathological downgrade of the disease such as partial or complete response as determined by post-treatment biopsies compared to baseline, or 2) clinically measurable tumor volume reduction from baseline of 30% or more from baseline.
Safety assessed via dose-limiting toxicities
Time frame: 1-month post-surgery and through study completion, ~12-14 months
Determine a safe dose of PRV211 (Intraoperative Cisplatin System) under the conditions of the trial. For the purpose of safety detection, if greater than 33% of subjects being evaluated for safety present with dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), the study drug is deemed unsafe.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
