Description:
This is a Phase 1b/2a, open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and safety/efficacy
evaluation trial of Pexa-Vec plus Cemiplimab in patients with metastatic or unresectable
renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The trial consists of a dose-escalation stage, where the maximum
feasible dose of Pexa-Vec in combination with Cemiplimab will be determined, followed by an
expansion stage. During the expansion patients will receive Cemiplimab alone or in
combination with Pexa-Vec, which will be administered either through intravenous (IV) or
intratumoral (IT) injection.

This is a Phase 1b/2a, open-label, multi-center, dose-escalation and safety/efficacy
evaluation trial of Pexa-Vec plus Cemiplimab in patients with metastatic or unresectable
renal cell carcinoma (RCC). The trial consists of a dose-escalation stage, where the maximum

combination with Pexa-Vec, which will be administered either through intravenous (IV) or
intratumoral (IT) injection.

Part 1, Dose escalation | Experimental | Pexa-Vec will be administered via IV infusion at a dose of 3 x 10^8 pfu once per week for 4 treatments. Based on the occurrence of dose-limiting toxicities, patients may subsequently be enrolled to receive Pexa-Vec on the same schedule at a dose of 1 x 10^9 pfu.
Cemiplimab will be administered via IV infusion every 3 weeks. | - Pexastimogene Devacirepvec (Pexa-Vec)
- Cemiplimab
|
Part 2, Pexa-Vec (IT) and Cemiplimab | Experimental | Pexa-Vec will be administered via IT (intratumoral) injection every 2 weeks for 3 treatments.
Cemiplimab will be administered via IV infusion every 3 weeks. | - Pexastimogene Devacirepvec (Pexa-Vec)
- Cemiplimab
|
Part 2, Cemiplimab | Experimental | Cemiplimab will be administered via IV infusion every 3 weeks.
At disease progression, Pexa-Vec will be administered via IT (intratumoral) injection every 2 weeks for 3 treatments. Cemiplimab will continue every 3 weeks. | |
Part 2, Pexa-Vec (IV) and Cemiplimab | Experimental | Pexa-Vec will be administered via IV infusion once per week for 4 treatments.
Cemiplimab will be administered via IV infusion every 3 weeks. | - Pexastimogene Devacirepvec (Pexa-Vec)

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically or cytologically confirmed metastatic or unresectable clear cell renal
cell carcinoma (ccRCC)
- Part 2 Arm D ONLY: Patients must be refractory to anti PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 (either as
monotherapy or in-combination with other approved checkpoint inhibitors or targeted
therapies according to their approved label) and patients must meet all of the
following criteria:
1. Received treatment of approved anti PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 (dosed per label of the
country providing the clinical site) for at least 6 weeks. History of anti-PD-L1
only is not allowed.
2. Progressive disease after anti PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 will be defined according to
RECIST 1.1. The initial evidence of progressive disease is to be confirmed by a
second assessment, no less than 4 weeks from the date of the first documented
progressive disease, in the absence of rapid clinical progression. (This
determination is made by the Investigator; the Sponsor will collect imaging scans
for retrospective analysis. Once progressive disease is confirmed, the initial
date of progressive disease documentation will be considered the date of disease
progression).
3. Documented disease progression within 12 weeks of the last dose of anti PD-1 or
anti-PD-L1. Patients who were re-treated or on maintenance with anti-PD-1 or
anti-PD-L1 will be allowed to enter the study as long as there is documented
progressive disease within 12 weeks of the last treatment date.
- Naive to systemic therapy for RCC or have progressed after, or were intolerant of,
prior systemic therapy.
- Measurable disease based on RECIST 1.1 criteria. Tumor lesions situated in a
previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been
demonstrated in such lesions
- Karnofsky performance status of 70-100
- Age ≥20 years old (or appropriate age of consent for the region)
- Adequate hematological, hepatic, and renal function
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known significant immunodeficiency due to underlying illness (e.g., human
immunodeficiency virus [HIV] / acquired immune deficiency syndrome [AIDS]) and/or
immune-suppressive medication including high-dose corticosteroids
- Part 2 only: Arm A,B,C: Prior treatment with any anti-cancer immunotherapy, including
therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent (prior IL-2 or interferon
allowed) . For Part 1: patients are excluded if they were intolerant to anti-PD-1 or
anti-PD-L1 targeted therapies
- Major surgery within 4 weeks of study treatment (minor surgical procedures are
allowed)
- Ongoing severe inflammatory skin condition requiring prior medical treatment
- History of eczema requiring prior medical treatment
- Tumor(s) invading a major vascular structure (e.g., carotid artery) or other key
anatomical structure (e.g., pulmonary airway) OR viable central nervous system
malignancy
- Clinically significant and/or rapidly accumulating ascites, pericardial and/or pleural
effusions.
- Symptomatic cardiovascular disease, including but not limited to significant coronary
artery disease (e.g., requiring angioplasty or stenting) or congestive heart failure
within the preceding 12 months.
- Asymptomatic cardiovascular disease (current or past history) unless cardiology
consultation and clearance has been obtained for study participation.
- Inability to suspend treatment with anti-hypertensive medication for 48 hours prior to
and 48 hours after all Pexa-Vec treatments
- Use of interferon/pegylated interferon (PEG-IFN) or ribavirin that cannot be
discontinued within 14 days prior to any Pexa-Vec dose
- Known active Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
