Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This phase I trial studies the side effects of intratumoral injection of SD-101 and BMS-986178 in treating patients with solid malignancies that have spread to other places in the body. The TLR9 agonist SD-101 may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop cancer cells from growing. BMS-986178 is a monoclonal anti-OX40 antibody that enhances the activation of T cells, immune cells that are important for fighting tumors. Giving TLR9 agonist SD-101 together with anti-OX40 antibody BMS-986178 may work better in treating patients with advanced solid tumors.

  2. To evaluate changes in pharmacodynamic endpoints in serial tumor biopsies from I TUMOR treated and untreated sites of disease.

OUTLINE:

SAFETY COHORT: Patients receive TLR9 agonist SD-101 intratumorally (IT) on days 1, 8 and 15. Patients also receive anti-OX40 antibody BMS 986178 IT on days 8 and 15, and intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on days 8, 29 and 58.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Incidence of adverse events of intratumoral injections of study drugs [Up to week 96]

      This outcome will be measured for any participant who has received at least one dose of any study medication. Treatment-limiting toxicities will be assessed using CTCAE v5.0. All adverse events will be recorded. Treatment-limiting toxicities are defined as; Hematologic toxicities: Febrile neutropenia; Grade 3 &4 thrombocytopenia; Grade 4 anemia unexplained with exception that toxicities can clearly be determined due to disease progression and/or unrelated to SD-101 or BMS-986178. Non-hematological toxicity ≥ Grade 3; Alopecia; Nausea; Grade 3 or 4 electrolyte abnormalities; Grade 3 or 4 elevation of amylase or lipase not associated with pancreatitis; Grade 3 endocrinopathy controlled by hormone replacement; Grade 3 infusion reaction that returns to Grade 1 in < 6 hours; Grade 3 skin rash not requiring systemic steroid therapy or other systemic immunosuppressive therapy. Doses should be delayed if any Grade ≥ 2 toxicities are not resolved to Grade ≤ 1 or baseline by next cycle.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Overall response rate [Up to 3 years]

      Tumor response assessed per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.1) for target lesions, and assessed by physical measurement; computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET)-CT. Complete Response (CR) = Disappearance of all target lesions Partial Response (PR) = ≥ 30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR Progressive disease (PD) = 20% increase in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions, and/or the appearance of one or more new lesion(s) Stable disease (SD) = Small changes that do not meet any of the above criteria

    2. Progression-Free survival (PFS) [Up to 3 years]

      Progression-Free Survival is defined as the time elapsed between treatment initiation (Day 1) and tumor progression or death from any cause. Progression will be defined using RECIST v1.1.
