CD40 Agonistic Antibody APX005M in Combination With Nivolumab

NCT03123783

Description:

This study is a Phase 1-2 open-label dose escalation study of the immuno-activating monoclonal antibody APX005M administered in combination with nivolumab to adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma. The Phase 1 portion is intended to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when administered in combination with nivolumab. The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination.

Purpose

This study is a Phase 1-2 open-label dose escalation study of the immuno-activating monoclonal antibody APX005M administered in combination with nivolumab to adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma. The Phase 1 portion is intended to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when administered in combination with nivolumab. The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination.

Detailed Description

      APX005M-002 is an open-label Phase 1-2 study and comprises a dose-escalation portion (Phase
      1) followed by a Phase 2 tumor specific portion.

      Eligible subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma will receive
      intravenous APX005M in combination with nivolumab until disease progression, unacceptable
      toxicity or death, whichever occurs first.

      Study objectives include:

        -  Determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when
           given in combination with nivolumab

        -  Evaluate safety of the APX005M and nivolumab combination

        -  Evaluate the objective response rate, duration of response and median PFS by RECIST 1.1
           in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma receiving APX005M in
           combination with nivolumab

        -  Determine the PK of APX005M

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed, immunotherapy naïve or PD-1/PD-L1
             pre-treated, metastatic or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer not amenable to
             curative treatment. Subjects may be treatment naive or could have received one prior
             platinum based chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and subjects with a
             documented activating mutation (e.g., EGFR, ALK, ROS) must also have received the
             appropriate therapy and progressed

          -  Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic melanoma that had
             confirmed progressive disease during treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy. Subjects
             with BRAF activating mutation could have also received a BRAF inhibitor and/or MEK
             inhibitor regimen prior to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.

          -  Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1

          -  ECOG performance status of 0 or 1

          -  Adequate bone marrow, liver and kidney function

          -  Negative pregnancy test for women of child bearing potential

          -  Agreement to use effective methods of contraception per the protocol requirements

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Previous exposure to any immunomodulatory agents (e.g., anti- CD40, anti-PD-1/PD-L1,
             anti-CTLA-4, IDO inhibitors) except PD-1/PD-L1 targeting agents in the subsets of
             patients that must have previous treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy

          -  Second malignancy (solid or hematologic) within the past 3 years except locally
             curable cancers that have been apparently cured

          -  Active, known, clinically serious infections within the 14 days prior to first dose of
             investigational product

          -  Use of systemic corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressive drugs

          -  Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease

          -  History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required corticosteroids or current
             pneumonitis

          -  History of interstitial lung disease

          -  History of life-threatening toxicity related to prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for
             subjects with metastatic melanoma or NSCLC.
