Purpose

This is an open-label, multicenter, multiple-ascending dose, FIH, Phase 1 study of RTX-321 for the treatment of patients that are HLA-A*02:01 positive with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, unresectable, HPV 16+ cancers.

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase 1, open label, multicenter, multidose, first-in-human (FIH) dose escalation
      and expansion to determine the safety and tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose and
      pharmacology, and antitumor activity of RTX-321 in adult patients with persistent, recurrent,
      or metastatic, unresectable cervical cancer (squamous, adeno, or adenosquamous histology),
      HNSCC, or squamous cell cancer of the anal canal that is not amenable to curative therapy.
      Prior to study screening, all patients must be confirmed to be HLA-A*02:01 positive.
      Documentation of an HPV 16+ tumor is required at prescreening for patients with cervical
      cancer and HNSCC. RTX-321 is a cellular therapy that expresses 4-1BBL, IL-12, and HPV-16
      Antigen with the goal of harnessing the innate and adaptive immune systems for the treatment
      of cancer. The study will include a monotherapy dose escalation phase followed by an
      expansion phase.

Eligibility Criteria

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Signed written informed consent obtained prior to study procedures Patients ≥18 years
             with an ECOG 0 or 1

          -  Histologically confirmed diagnosis by the local laboratory of persistent, recurrent,
             or metastatic, unresectable cervical cancer (squamous, adeno, or adenosquamous
             histology), HNSCC, or squamous cell cancer of the anal canal that is not amenable to
             curative therapy.

          -  All patients must have experienced disease progression following platinum-based or
             mitomycin C-based chemotherapy administered in the persistent, recurrent, or
             metastatic setting.

          -  All patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive cervical cancer and those
             with HNSCC must have received or have been determined to be ineligible for
             immunotherapy with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.

          -  All patients with cervical cancer will have received or have been determined to be
             ineligible for bevacizumab.

          -  Confirmation of HLA-A*02:01 positive status by central testing.

          -  In patients with cervical cancer or HNSCC, confirmation of HPV 16 within the tumor
             either from historical pathology result (using an FDA-approved HPV testing method,
             patients with cervical cancer only) or based on central laboratory analysis of a tumor
             sample. Patients with anal cancer will not be required to have prospective
             determination of HPV 16 positive status prior to enrollment.

          -  Disease must be measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria

          -  The shorter of 28 days or 5 half-lives must have elapsed since the completion of prior
             therapy, before initiation of study treatment.

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Patient has central nervous system (CNS) involvement. If the patient fulfills the
             following 3 criteria, she/he is eligible for the trial after consultation with the
             Sponsor Medical Monitor.

               -  Completed prior therapy for CNS metastases (radiation and/or surgery)

               -  CNS tumor(s) is clinically stable at the time of enrollment
