Purpose

Open-label study using ASP-1929 photoimmunotherapy in combination with anti-PD1 therapy in patients with recurrent or metastatic head and neck and squamous cell cancer or advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma.

Detailed Description

      Cohorts of patients with recurrent or metastatic (R/M) squamous cell cancer of the head and
      neck (HNSCC) or advanced or metastatic cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma will receive
      anti-PD1 therapy in combination with anti EGFR antibody-dye conjugate, ASP-1929, followed by
      photoimmunotherapy (PIT). HNSCC patients are required to have positive expression of
      programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) defined by Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥1. Primary
      endpoints are safety, tolerability, and tumor response of ASP-1929 PIT treatment in
      combination with anti-PD1.

Eligibility Criteria

        Overall Inclusion Criteria:

        Provide written informed consent

        • Cancers as follows:

        Cohort 1 : Histologically or cytologically confirmed recurrent locally and/or metastatic
        head and neck squamous cell carcinoma with Combined Positive Score (CPS) ≥ 1 as determined
        by an FDA approved test

        Note: A multi-disciplinary group (including a surgeon and radiation oncologist) must agree
        that the patient is not a candidate for locoregional therapy.

        Cohort 2 : Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic
        cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma not amenable to definitive surgery or radiation.

        Cohort 3: Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced or metastatic
        cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma not amendable to definitive surgery or radiation.
        Patients' disease has progressed despite at least 2 months of anti-PD1 therapy.

          -  At least one site of disease accessible to light illumination

          -  Measurable disease by modified RECIST 1.1

          -  Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1

          -  No prior systemic therapy administered in the recurrent and/or metastatic setting
             (with the exception of systemic therapy completed ≥ 6 months prior if given as part of
             multimodal treatment for locally advanced disease)

          -  Adequate organ function

          -  Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at
             screening and must be willing to use 2 methods of highly effective birth control while
             on study or be surgically sterile, or abstain from heterosexual sexual activity for
             the course of the study through 120 days after the last dose of anti-PD1 treatment.

          -  Male participants must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception
             starting with the first dose of study medication through 120 days after the last dose
             of anti-PD1 treatment.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Prior therapy with an anti-PD1 or anti-PD-L1 (Cohort 1 and 2 only)

          -  Radiation therapy (or other non-systemic therapy) within 4 weeks prior to study Day 1
             or not fully recovered from adverse events due to a previously administered treatment

          -  Receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in doses exceeding 10 mg daily of
             prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 14 days
             prior to Cycle 1 Day 1.

          -  Diagnosed and/or treated for additional malignancy within 2 years prior to study Day
             1, except for, curatively treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell
             carcinoma of the skin and/or curatively resected in situ cervical and/or breast

          -  Known or active central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis

          -  Active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (ie,
             with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs).

          -  Evidence of interstitial lung disease or current active, noninfectious pneumonitis

          -  Active infection requiring systemic therapy

          -  Known or active bacterial, viral, and fungal infection including tuberculosis, active
             Hepatitis B (eg, HBsAg reactive), or Hepatitis C (eg, RNA [qualitative] is detected)

             immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related illness

             vaccines for injection are generally inactivated flu vaccines and are allowed; however
             intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, Flu-Mist®) are live attenuated vaccines, and are
             not allowed.

             dose of study treatment

             received study therapy (including RM-1929 or ASP-1929 PIT studies), or used an
             investigational device within 4 weeks of study Day 1

             arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with
             study requirements
