Description:
Background:
Combination immunotherapy techniques are being explored to improve responses and enhance
benefits in people with cancer. Researchers want to see if this type of treatment can help
people with advanced solid tumors.
Objective:
To find a safe dose of SX-682 in combined treatment with Bintrafusp alfa and BN-CV301
vaccines and to see if this treatment will cause tumors to shrink.
Eligibility:
Adults age 18 and older with metastatic cancer may be eligible for the first part of the
trial. Adults age 18 and older with metastatic triple negative breast cancer or p16 negative
head and neck squamous cell cancer, and who are not candidates for curative surgery may be
eligible for the second part of the trial.
Design:
Participants will be screened under a separate protocol.
Participants may have tumor biopsies. They will have physical exams. Their symptoms and
medicines will be reviewed. They will have blood tests. They will have electrocardiograms to
evaluate their heart.
Participants will have imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They may have a
procedure where a small tube with a tiny video camera is put into the nose to look at the
throat if they have head and neck cancers.
Participants will get bintrafusp alfa through an intravenous catheter. For this, a small tube
is put into an arm vein. They will get BN-CV301 vaccines as injections in the arm or thigh.
They will take SX-682 by mouth twice a day. They will take the study drugs up to 2 years.
They will keep a medicine diary.
Participants will have study visits every 2 weeks. They will have 1 or 2 follow-up visits
within 30 days after they stop treatment. Then they will be monitored by phone or email for 2
years.

Detailed Description
Background:
- Combination immunotherapy approaches are being actively explored to further improve
responses, enhance clinical benefit, and overcome resistance to PD(L)-1 agents in cancer
participants.
- Interleukin-8 (IL-8) is a pro-inflammatory chemokine produced by various cell types.
Overexpression of IL-8 and/or its receptors CXCR1 and CXCR2, is commonly seen in many
human cancers including breast, cervical, melanoma and prostate.
- SX-682 is an oral, small molecule inhibitor of the CXCR1/2 chemokine receptors that are
believed involved in MDSC-recruitment to tumor and other pro-tumoral mechanisms.
- Bintrafusp alfa (M7824 or MSB0011359C) is a bifunctional protein composed of the
extracellular domain of the TGF-BetaRII receptor (TGF-Beta 'trap') fused to a human
IgG1. Preclinical data shows bintrafusp alfa treatment increases T-cell trafficking,
antigenspecific CD8+ T-cell lysis and NK cell activation.
- CV301 is a poxviral-based vaccine comprised of recombinant Modified vaccinia Ankara
(MVA-BN-CV301, prime) and recombinant fowlpox (FPV-CV301, boost). CV301 contains
transgenes encoding two (2) tumor-associated antigens (TAA), mucin 1 (MUC1) and
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), as well as three costimulatory molecules (B7.1, ICAM-1
and LFA-3, designated TRICOM). A recent phase 1 clinical trial demonstrated that
antigen-specific T cells to MUC1 and CEA, as well as to a cascade antigen, brachyury,
were generated in most participants.
- Preclinical studies performed in LTIB with SX-682, M7824 and a CEA-based vaccine showed
a significant reduction in tumor growth as well as a significant increase in tumor
infiltration with CD4+ and CD8+ T cells.
Objectives:
- Arm 1 (Sequential Dose Escalation):
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of single agent SX-682.
- To determine the MTD of SX-682 followed by M7824 and CV301 vaccines in participants
with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. If the MTD is not reached the study will
be focused to describe the safety and tolerability of SX-682 followed by M7824 and
CV301 vaccines.
- Arm 2 (Combination Dose Escalation):
--To determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of SX-682 with M7824 and CV301
vaccines in participants with advanced or metastatic solid tumors. If the MTD is not
reached the study will be focused to describe the safety and tolerability of the drug
combination.
- Arm 3 (Expansion):
- To evaluate preliminary efficacy based on Objective Response Rate (ORR), in each
disease cohort separately.
Eligibility:
- Age >= 18 years old
- Arms 1 and 2 (Dose-Escalation Cohort): Subjects with cytologically or histologically
confirmed locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors.
- Arm 3 (Expansion Cohorts):
- TNBC: Subjects with cytologically or histologically confirmed locally advanced or
metastatic Triple Negative Breast Cancer that has progressed on at least one prior
treatment in the advanced or in the metastatic setting.
- HPV negative HNSCC: Subjects with cytologically or histologically confirmed locally
advanced or metastatic, HPV negative head and neck squamous cell cancer (p16
negative for oropharyngeal) that has progressed on at least one prior treatment
involving a platinum drug or cetuximab in advanced or in the metastatic setting.
- Prior first line systemic therapy is required unless there is no standard treatment
available, the participant cannot tolerate standard first line treatment, or the
participant declines standard treatment after appropriate counseling has been provided.
- ECOG performance status of 0 to 1
- Adequate renal, hepatic, and hematologic function
- Subjects in Arms 1 and 2 may have disease that is measurable or non-measurable but
evaluable disease (e.g. present on bone scan, rising tumor markers, non-measurable by
RECIST but visible on CT scan). participants with third space fluid (for example pleural
effusions) as only site of disease will not be eligible. Subjects in Arm 3 must have
measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1
Design:
- Arm 1 is a phase I, open-label, 3+3 sequential dose escalation trial with short term,
2-week SX-682 monotherapy lead-in followed by treatment with M7824 and CV301 vaccine
series in advanced solid tumors (Q2W dosing schedule) for the duration of treatment.
- Arm 2 is a phase I, open-label, 3+3 combination dose escalation trial with short term
SX- 682 monotherapy lead in followed by SX-682 combination with M7824 and CV301 vaccine
series in advanced solid tumors (Q2W dosing schedule). Each enrolled participant will
receive SX-682 as monotherapy for 2 weeks then will receive SX-682, M7824 and CV301 for
the duration of treatment
- Arm 3 has two expansion cohorts. Following identification of the MTD or R2PD for the
combination of SX-682, M7824 and CV301 vaccine, disease-specific phase 2 expansion
cohorts will open in 1) advanced/metastatic triple negative breast cancer and 2)
advanced/metastatic, platinum-refractory HPV negative head and neck squamous cell
carcinoma.

- Administration of steroids for other conditions through a route known to result
in a minimal systemic exposure (topical, intranasal, intro-ocular, or inhalation)
is acceptable;

cardiac or pulmonary disease, hepatic disease, bleeding diathesis or recent (within 3
months) clinically significant bleeding events or other illness considered by the
Investigator as high risk for investigational drug treatment.

- Participants with heart failure (New York Heart Association [NYHA] class III or IV) or
cerebrovascular accident within one year or acute myocardial infarction within one
year.

indicated. As there is a risk of severe bleeding with M7824, participants must be
willing to receive blood transfusions if medically necessary for their own safety
- Any other condition, which would, in the opinion of the Principal Investigator
indicated the subject is a poor candidate for the clinical trial or would jeopardize
the subject or the integrity of the data obtained.
- Pregnant women are excluded from this study because study drugs potential for
teratogenic or abortifacient effects are unknown. Because there is an unknown but
potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the
mother with study drugs, breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated
with study drugs.
