Official Title: Phase I Trial of Intravenous Administration of Vesicular Stomatitis Virus Genetically Engineered to Express Thyroidal Sodium Iodide Symporter (NIS) and Human Interferon Beta (hIFNb) in Patients With M

Brief Summary: This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of vesicular stomatitis virus-human interferon beta-sodium iodide symporter (VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS) in treating patients with stage IV endometrial cancer or endometrial cancer that has come back. The study virus, VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, has been changed so that it has restricted ability to spread to tumor cells and not to healthy cells. It also contains a gene for a protein, NIS, which helps the body concentrate iodine making it possible to track where the virus goes. VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS may be able to kill tumor cells without damaging normal cells.
