Purpose
Open-label, dose escalation (Phase I) and dose expansion (Phase IIA) study of patients
receiving intra-tumoral IMSA101 alone or in combination with an immune checkpoint inhibitor
(ICI) (Phase I and II)
Detailed Description
This is an open-label, dose escalation (Phase I), and dose expansion (Phase IIA) study
designed to evaluate safety and efficacy of IMSA101 alone or in combination with an ICI
(Phase I and II). Therefore, the study will be conducted in 2 phases. The dose of IMSA101 in
Phase IIA will be based on the monotherapy and combination Recommended Phase 2 Doses (RP2Ds)
from Phase I.
The following methodology applies to all patients (unless otherwise indicated):
- Pre-treatment screening radiographic tumor assessments will be collected within 30 days
prior to initial dose for all patients. Photographic assessments for
cutaneously-accessible lesions will be performed as detailed in a separate photography
manual.
- Treatment cycles will be 28 days in duration with lesions injected weekly on Day 1 for
the first three weeks of Cycle 1 and then every 2 weeks during cycles 2 and beyond.
- A single pre-defined lesion/lesion site (longest diameter ≥ 10 mm and ≤ 35 mm) shall be
injected throughout study duration, if possible. Where the original injection site is
considered by the investigator to become inaccessible, a second lesion/lesion site shall
be selected as a replacement and this shall be used henceforth so long as it is
considered accessible. Subsequent injection sites shall be replaced when they are
considered inaccessible.
- Where no remaining accessible lesions are present and where benefit of IMSA101 therapy
is, in the opinion of the investigator, being derived by the patient, continued
injections of IMSA101 into the vicinity of an inaccessible lesion or, in the case that a
lesion can no longer be radiographically visualized, into the last known location of the
non-visible lesion shall be allowed.
- Patients will be admitted to the hospital for observation overnight following IT
injection with IMSA101 on Day 1 of Cycle 1. Patients will be followed throughout the
study for drug tolerability and safety by collection of clinical and laboratory data,
including information on adverse events (AEs) using CTCAE v5.0 criteria, serious adverse
events (SAEs), DLTs, concomitant medications, vital signs, and electrocardiograms
(ECGs).
- Patients will be assessed for anti-tumor efficacy based on radiographic assessments and
if applicable, photographic tumor assessments, and analysis of Objective Response Rate
(ORR), Time to Progression (TTP), and Progression Free Survival (PFS) using RECIST
criteria (Appendix 13.2) at screening and the end (≤ 7 days) of even numbered cycles
(Cycle 2, Cycle 4, etc.) after the first dosing.
Trial Arms
Name | Type | Description | Interventions |
---|
Ph I Monotherapy | Experimental | Dose escalation design in which administered dose levels of IMSA101 as monotherapy will be escalated stepwise in successive cohorts of 3 to 6 patients per dose group (using a standard 3+3 study design) of IMSA101 until the RP2D or maximum tolerated dose (MTD) level is identified.
The first patient enrolled in each dose level must complete the first two weeks of Cycle 1 prior to enrolling the second and third patients.
Dose levels to be evaluated include (although not necessarily limited to) 100 µg (representing 1/60th of the pre-clinical Highest Non-Severely Toxic Dose [HNSTD] dose), 200 µg, 400 µg, 800 µg, and 1,200 µg. | |
Ph I Combination Therapy | Experimental | Ph I combination dosing of IMSA101 shall be evaluated upon satisfaction of the following criteria:
A given dose level (combo dose level 1) has been confirmed as safe for monotherapy dosing (i.e. 2/6 patients experience Cycle 1 DLT).
The next higher dose level (combo dose level 2) has been confirmed as safe for monotherapy dosing (i.e. 2/6 patients experience Cycle 1 DLT).
The dose level (combo dose level 1) is found to demonstrate adequate IMSA101 pharmacodynamic (PD) activity based on exploratory endpoints.
Eligible patients shall have demonstrated RECIST stable disease through ≥ 4 consecutive cycles of an approved PD-1/PD-L1-targeted ICI with no Grade ≥ 3 CTCAE events considered to be drug-related.
Safety evaluations and dose escalation of IMSA101 administered in combination with current therapy shall proceed in a manner consistent with monotherapy escalation and shall proceed independently of monotherapy dose escalation. | - IMSA101
- Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)
|
Ph II Monotherapy (Arm A) | Experimental | This dose-expansion arm of 20 patients is intended to confirm the tolerability of the RP2D and identify provocative signals of IMSA101 anti-tumor activity when administered as monotherapy
Tumor type to be evaluated will be identified prior to Phase IIA commencement and will be documented in a protocol amendment. | |
Ph II Combination Therapy (Arm B) | Experimental | This dose-expansion arm of 20 patients is intended to confirm the tolerability of the RP2D and identify provocative signals of IMSA101 anti-tumor activity when administered as combination therapy with PD-1/PD-L1 targeted immune checkpoint inhibitors.
This arm shall include a safety run-in of 5-10 patients.
Tumor type and corresponding treatment combination will be identified prior to Phase IIA commencement and documented in a protocol amendment. | - IMSA101
- Immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI)
|
Ph II Combination Therapy (Arm C) | Experimental | This dose-expansion arm of 20 patients is intended to confirm the tolerability of the RP2D and identify provocative signals of IMSA101 anti-tumor activity when administered as combination therapy with non-PD-1/PD-L1-targeted immuno-oncology (IO) drugs approved by the FDA.
This arm shall include a safety run-in of 5-10 patients.
Tumor type and corresponding treatment combination will be identified prior to Phase IIA commencement and documented in a protocol amendment.. | - IMSA101
- Immuno-oncology (IO) therapy
