Purpose

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.

Detailed Description

      This study will evaluate the antitumor activity of anti-LAG3 monoclonal antibody relatlimab
      and the anti-PD1 monoclonal antibody nivolumab in combination in subjects with unresectable
      or metastatic melanoma who have not received prior treatment with immunotherapy. The trial is
      designed with a lead-in phase of 2 cycles (4 week) treatment of either nivolumab, relatlimab,
      or the combination of nivolumab/relatlimab, followed by a combination phase of
      nivolumab/relatlimab treatment in all subjects. This lead-in design with accompanying tumor
      biopsies and peripheral blood analyses will enable mechanistic analyses of the effect of LAG3
      and PD1 blockade alone and in combination to enhance understanding of mechanisms of response
      and resistance. Duration of response, progression free survival, and safety will be assessed
      as secondary objectives.

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Change in LAG3 Expression

Safety Issue:
Description:LAG3 (cell surface molecule expressed on activated T cells) expression is either positive (present) or not detectable if absent after completion of lead-in phase.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Clinical Benefit Rate
Time Frame:12 weeks post initial treatment, up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Complete Response (CR) + Partial Response (PR) + Stable Disease (SD) / total patients assessed per RECIST v1.1. CR: Disappearance of all target lesions. Any pathological lymph nodes (whether target or non-target) must have reduction in short axis to <10 mm. PR: At least a 30% decrease in the sum of diameters of target lesions, taking as reference the baseline sum diameters; SD: Neither sufficient shrinkage to qualify for PR nor sufficient increase to qualify for PD, taking as reference the smallest sum diameters while on study.
Measure:Duration of Response
Time Frame:12 weeks post initial treatment, up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Time from first documented Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR) until the first date that progressive disease is objectively documented.
