VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS With or Without Ruxolitinib Phosphate in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Multiple Myeloma, Acute Myeloid Leukemia, or T-cell Lymphoma

NCT03017820

Description:

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus carrying the human NIS and IFN beta genes (VSV-hIFNbeta-sodium iodide symporter [NIS]) with or without ruxolitinib phosphate in treating patients with multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. A virus, called VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS and ruxolitinib phosphate may work better at treating multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia and T-cell lymphoma.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the best dose and side effects of recombinant vesicular stomatitis virus carrying the human NIS and IFN beta genes (VSV-hIFNbeta-sodium iodide symporter [NIS]) with or without ruxolitinib phosphate in treating patients with multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or T-cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. A virus, called VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS, which has been changed in a certain way, may be able to kill cancer cells without damaging normal cells. Ruxolitinib phosphate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS and ruxolitinib phosphate may work better at treating multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia and T-cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS in different treatment
      regimens (alone [group A] and in combination with ruxolitinib phosphate [ruxolitinib] [group
      B]) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia, or T-cell
      lymphoma and in combination with ruxolitinib and cyclophosphamide (group C) in
      relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma patients.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the safety profile of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS (alone and in combination with
      ruxolitinib).

      II. To estimate clinical response rate of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS (alone and in combination with
      ruxolitinib) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, acute myeloid leukemia,
      or T-cell lymphoma overall and by disease type.

      III. To estimate progression-free and overall survival of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS (alone and in
      combination with ruxolitinib) in patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma, acute
      myeloid leukemia, or T-cell lymphoma overall and by disease type.

      CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

      I. To determine the time course of viral gene expression and virus elimination, and the
      biodistribution of virally infected cells at various times points after infection with
      VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS using planar and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed
      tomography (CT) imaging.

      II. To assess virus replication, viremia, viral shedding in urine and respiratory secretions,
      and virus persistence after systemic administration of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS.

      III. To characterize the pharmacodynamics (PD) of VSV-IFNbeta-NIS by way of measuring serum
      interferon-beta and also vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV)-real time (RT)-polymerase chain
      reaction (PCR) of VSV-IFNbeta-NIS.

      IV. Assess CD8+ T cell (both general and VSV-IFNbeta-NIS specific) and natural killer (NK)
      cell responses.

      V. Gene expression analysis pre- and post-virotherapy. VI. Assess presence of VSV in tumor
      and normal tissues subsequent to administration of intravenous (IV) VSV-IFNbeta-NIS.

      VII. To identify the best dose of VSV-hIFNbeta-NIS in the regimen being evaluated based on
      activity observed in the correlative measures described above in those dose levels identified
      as tolerable.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose escalation study of VSV-IFNbeta-NIS. Patients are assigned to 1 of 3
      groups.

      GROUP A: Patients receive VSV-IFNbeta-NIS intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day 1.
      Patients undergo SPECT/CT scans at baseline, and at days 3 and 8 after VSV-IFNbeta-NIS
      infusion.

      GROUP B: Patients receive VSV-IFNbeta-NIS IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and ruxolitinib
      phosphate orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days -1 to 9. Patients undergo SPECT/CT scans at
      baseline, and at days 3 and 8 after VSV-IFNbeta-NIS infusion.

      GROUP C: Patients receive VSV-IFNbeta-NIS IV over 30 minutes on day 1 and ruxolitinib
      phosphate PO BID on days -1 to 9. Patients also receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on
      day 2. Patients undergo SPECT/CT scans at baseline, and at days 3 and 8 after VSV-IFNbeta-NIS
      infusion.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28 days, and then every 3
      months for up to 1 year or until progressive disease, then every 6 months for 1 year.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Incidence of adverse events of grade 3 or higher
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Assessed by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. The maximum grade for each type of adverse event will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns (by cohort and overall). Additionally, the relationship of the adverse event(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. The rate of grade 3 or higher non-hematologic adverse events, and the rate of grade 4 or higher adverse event (hematologic and non-hematologic) will be computed each with a 95% exact binomial confidence.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Clinical response
Time Frame:Up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The number of responses (complete response [CR], very good partial response, partial response [PR], or minimal response for multiple myeloma; CR, CR with incomplete recovery, cytogenetic complete response, PR for acute myeloid leukemia [AML]; CR or PR for T-cell lymphoma [TCL]) will be summarized by simple descriptive summary statistics.
Measure:Progression-free survival
Time Frame:From registration to disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 2 years
Safety Issue:
Description:The distribution of survival time will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier (overall, by dose level, and by disease type).
