Filter by:This study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, pharmacokinetics, and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) of autogene cevumeran (RO7198457) plus pembrolizumab compared with pembrolizumab alone in patients with previously untreated advanced melanoma.
The stay aims to determine whether switching from targeted therapy to immunotherapy based on a decrease in levels of circulating tumour DNA in the blood, will improve the outcome in melanoma patients.
This study is a phase II study of AZD6738 in combination with durvalumab in patients with solid tumor (cohort A (N=30): GC who have failed secondary chemotherapy treatments regimen; cohort B (B=30): melanoma patients who have failed to IO). Patients will receive AZD6738 plus durvalumab combination regimen. AZD6738 will be administered at 240 mg twice daily on days 1 to 7 in Cycle 0 (lead-in period) and therafter at 240 mg BD on days 22 to 28 in a 28-day cycle. Durvalumab will be administered at 1500 mg every 4 weeks from cycle 1 day 1. Tumour evaluation using modified RECIST 1.1 will be conducted at screening (within 28 days prior to first dose) and every 8 weeks relative to the date of first dose, up to week 40, then every 12 weeks until objective disease progression (within a window of +/- 7 days of the scheduled date). Patients will continue to receive treatment with AZD6738 and durvalumab provided that the treatment is tolerable and there is evidence of clinical benefit (as judged by the investigator) and secure supply of medication. Upon confirmation of objective disease progression, or treatment disconiutation criteria are met, both durvalumab and AZD6738 must be discontinued. Patients may continue with AZD6738/durvalumab beyond objective disease progression (determined by modified RECIST 1.1) at the discretion of the investigator if they are clinically benefiting from the treatment and they do not meet any other discontinuation criteria. If either durvalumab and/or AZD6738 are deemed intolerable (as judged by the investigator) so that discontinuation of either agent is deemed in the patient's best interest despite dose interruptions, dose modification and initiation of supportive treatments, both durvalumab and AZD6738 must be discontinued and the patient withdrawn from the study. Patients are not permitted to continue either AZD6738 or durvalumab as monotherapy. There is no maximum duration of treatment with AZD6738 and durvalumab. The imaging modalities used for modified RECIST 1.1 assessment will be CT or MRI scans of chest,abdomen and pelvis. modified RECIST 1.1 scans will be analysed by the investigator on site. Patients will also be requested to provide tumour samples from the primary or metastatic tumours pre-study and on progression. Sample provision is mandatory, subject to aspecific consent, and will aid understanding of resistance mechanisms. However, if biopsy site is not feasible, the protocol will allow waiving the rebiopsy procedure.
Immunotherapy has helped many cancer patients in the last 5 years by enhancing a patient's immune system to fight cancer. Anti-Programmed Death (PD-1) immunotherapy drugs such as pembrolizumab and nivolumab remove the breaks from cancer-fighting immune cells and have been effective in treating some melanoma patients. Despite the major breakthrough of immunotherapy in oncology treatment, many patients do not respond to this new class of anti-cancer drugs. Recently, evidence suggests that the microorganisms living in a patient's intestines play a major role in modifying the response to anti-PD-1drugs. Patients who respond to these drugs have a unique and healthy group of microorganisms in their gut. Therefore, positive modification of a cancer patient's gut microorganisms to create a more diverse and healthy microbiome may improve the response to immunotherapy. One method of modifying the microbiome is Fecal Microbial Transplantation (FMT) that is already being successfully used in the clinic to treat non-cancer patients with persistent bacterial infections. In this study, the investigators will combine FMT with the approved immunotherapy drugs pembrolizumab or nivolumab that are the standard of care for the treatment of advanced melanoma. The purpose of this study is to examine the safety of combining these two therapies in melanoma patients. The investigator will use fecal material from a healthy donor selected via our stringent protocol that is Health Canada approved. In addition to assessing the safety of the combination, the investigator will also study the effect of FMT on the immune system and microbial ecosystem of the gut.
An observational study of melanoma participants who are eligible for and who have initiated treatment with adjuvant nivolumab as part of routine clinical practice.
This pilot phase I trial studies how well VX15/2503 (pepinemab) with or without ipilimumab and/or nivolumab work in treating participants with stage IIIB-D melanoma that can be removed by surgery. Monoclonal antibodies, such as VX15/2503, ipilimumab, and nivolumab may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) pharmacodynamics and preliminary antitumor activity of lorigerlimab. This Phase 1, open-label study will characterize safety, dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and maximum tolerated/administered dose (MTD/MAD) of MGD019. Dose escalation will occur in a 3+3+3 design in patients with advanced solid tumors of any histology. Once the MTD/MAD is determined, a Cohort Expansion Phase will be enrolled to further characterize safety and initial anti-tumor activity in patients with specific tumor types anticipated to be sensitive to dual checkpoint blockade.
This is a Phase 1, multiple dose, ascending dose escalation study to define a MTD/RD and regimen of XmAb23104, to describe safety and tolerability, to assess PK and immunogenicity, and to preliminarily assess anti-tumor activity of XmAb23104 monotherapy and combination therapy with ipilimumab in subjects with selected advanced solid tumors.
Over the past few years it has become evident that cancer cells can be recognized by the patient's own immune system. The immunological mechanisms at play are often referred to as the "cancer immune cycle" (Chen and Mellman 2013; Mellman 2013; Chen and Mellman 2017).In immune-evasive tumors a pivotal role has been attributed to myeloid dendritic cells (myDC) in regulating the activity of anti-tumor CTL activity within the TME (Broz, Binnewies et al. 2014). In animal models, myDC have been demonstrated to play an essential role in "licensing" anti-tumor CTLs to eradicate tumor cells. These myDC also migrate to tumor-draining lymph nodes and present tumor antigens to T-cells in these secondary lymphoid organs (Roberts, Broz et al. 2016). Human myDCs exist in two subsets that are differentiated by expression of either the BDCA-1 or BDCA-3 surface marker. The CD1c (BDCA-1)+ antigen is specifically expressed on human dendritic cells, which are CD11chighCD123low and represent the major subset of myDCs in human blood (about 0.6 % of all peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs)). CD1c (BDCA-1)+ myDC play an important role in the cross-presentation of tumor antigens following immunogenic cell death (Di Blasio, Wortel et al. 2016). Under conditions of tumor growth, myDC will be poorly recruited to the tumor microenvironment, do not get activated and thereby fail to efficiently coordinate anti-tumor immunity within the tumor micro-environment and present tumor associated antigens within tumor-draining lymph nodes. Talimogene laherparepvec (T-VEC) is a first-in-class oncolytic virus based on a modified herpes simplex virus (HSV) type 1 designed to selectively replicate in and lyse tumor cells while promoting regional and systemic antitumor immunity. In this phase I clinical trial we propose to investigate the safety of intratumoral injection of autologous CD1c (BDCA-1)+ myDC in non-visceral metastases of melanoma plus intratumoral injection of T-VEC (at its approved dose and regimen for the treatment of melanoma). We hypothesize that CD1c (BDCA-1)+ myDC in the T-VEC inflamed tumor microenvironment of the metastasis will capture tumor antigens in vivo and through cross-presentation of these antigens coordinate an effective anti-tumor T-cell response.
The main goal of this study is to evaluate the antitumor activity of relatlimab and nivolumab in combination in subjects with unresectable or metastatic melanoma who have not received prior treatment with immunotherapy.
