IRX-2 Regimen Combined With Nivolumab in Recurrent/Metastatic Solid Tumors

NCT03758781

Description:

This study is to determine the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab in patients with recurrent metastatic solid tumors. Researchers believe that this combination will have a tolerable safety profile and will increase the response rate in comparison to Nivolumab alone.

Purpose

This study is to determine the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with Nivolumab in patients with recurrent metastatic solid tumors. Researchers believe that this combination will have a tolerable safety profile and will increase the response rate in comparison to Nivolumab alone.

Detailed Description

      The first phase of this trial is to establish the safety of IRX-2 Regimen combined with
      Nivolumab. The IRX-2 Regimen is a 21-day regimen of cyclophosophamide on Day 1 and
      subcutaneous IRX-2 injections for 10 days between Days 4 and 18. If no dose limiting
      toxicities (DLTs) are observed during the first 4 weeks of treatment, the enrollment will
      continue in a dose expansion phase. If there is a study treatment related DLT in 1 of 6
      patients, the same dose will be investigated at the dose expansion cohorts. If study
      treatment related DLT is observed in 2 of 6 patients, accrual will be stopped and new dose
      levels or treatment sequences will be considered.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  At least 18 years of age

             written informed consent and any locally required authorization must be obtained from

             inhibitor monotherapy is allowed.

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2

          -  Adequate normal organ and marrow function

          -  Participants who are receiving therapeutic anti-coagulant therapy are eligible.

          -  Palliative radiation therapy is allowed to non-target lesions at the discretion of the
             treating physician.

          -  Participants must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be
             accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded) as
             outlined in RECIST version 1.1.

          -  Life expectancy of greater than 3 months.

          -  Female participants of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy
             test within 7 days prior to treatment.

          -  Body weight must be greater than 66 pounds.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Prior exposure to a combination of IRX-2 regimen, PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors and CTLA-4
             inhibitors are excluded. Prior exposure to PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitors is allowed.

          -  Radiation therapy with a curable intent within 30 days of first dose of study
             treatment is excluded. However, radiation therapy with a palliative intent is allowed
             to treat after 14 days from the last dose of radiation.

          -  Any medical contraindications or previous therapy that would preclude treatment with
             the IRX-2 Regimen, or nivolumab.

          -  Any unresolved toxicity Grade 2 or greater from previous anticancer therapy with the
             exception of alopecia, vitiligo, and the laboratory values defined in the inclusion
             criteria.

          -  Participants with irreversible toxicity not reasonably expected to be exacerbated by
             treatment with IRX-2, or nivolumab may be included only after consultation with the
             study physician.

          -  Active or prior documented autoimmune or inflammatory disorders

          -  Current or prior use of immunosuppressive medication within 14 days before the first
