Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase 1b open-label dose escalation trial of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 and Pembrolizumab in patients with Metastatic Melanoma or Cutaneous Squamous Cell Skin Cancer that has failed prior standard of care treatments. Upon determination of a Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Feasible Dose (MFD) the study will be expanded into up to 24 additional Metastatic Melanoma patients.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1b open-label dose escalation trial of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 and Pembrolizumab in patients with Metastatic Melanoma or Cutaneous Squamous Cell Skin Cancer that has failed prior standard of care treatments. This study will consist of two arms where the dose will be increased independently until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) / maximum feasible dose (MFD) is reached.

Arm 1 - Low-dose cyclophosphamide, followed by an Ad-MAGEA3 intramuscular (IM) prime, followed by intravenous (IV) administration of MG1-MAGEA3 and IV pembrolizumab.

Arm 2 - Ad-MAGEA3 IM injection as a prime, followed by IV administration of MG1-MAGEA3, followed by intratumoral (IT) injection of MG1-MAGEA3 into tumors and IV pembrolizumab.

In the Phase 1b Expansion for each arm, additional patients will be enrolled at the MTD/MDF as determined in Phase 1 in order to more thoroughly explore immune response, pharmacokinetics/dynamics, and safety for Malignant Melanoma patients who have failed standard therapies.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Arm 1: Intravenous Dosing

Low dose cyclophosphamide (300mg/ m2) at Day -3, then a fixed dose of Ad-MAGEA3 administered IM on study Day 1. Followed by one of 3 dose levels (escalation) of MG1-MAGEA3 administered as 2 intravenous (IV) doses at Day 15 and Day 18 and fixed dose pembrolizumab (200mg) beginning at either Week 6 or Day 1, depending on the cohort.

Drug: Ad-MAGEA3
Adenovirus vaccine expressing Melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGEA3), a tumor antigen

Drug: MG1-MAGEA3
MG1 Maraba oncolytic virus expressing Melanoma-associated antigen 3 (MAGEA3), a tumor antigen

Drug: Pembrolizumab
monoclonal antibody; checkpoint inhibitor of PD1
Other Names:
  • Keytruda
  • Drug: Cyclophosphamide
    low-dose chemotherapy

    Experimental: Arm 2: Intravenous followed by Intratumoral Dosing

    A fixed dose of Ad-MAGEA3 administered IM followed by Pembrolizumab on Day 1. MG1-MAGEA3 administered as an intravenous (IV) dose at Day 15, followed by intratumoral (IT) MG1-MAGEA3 on Day 22, Day 29, and Day 36. IT MG1-MAGEA3 booster injections may be continued every 3 weeks beginning at Day 43 (Week 6).

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Safety of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 administration in Melanoma or Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma [6 months]

      Safety will be determined by assessing the severity and frequency of treatment emergent Adverse Events and clinical laboratory toxicity using NCI CTCAE v 5.0

    2. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/ maximum feasible dose (MFD) of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 in Melanoma or Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma [5 weeks]

      MTD/MFD of Ad/MG1-MAGEA3 administered by IV infusion alone and IV infusion followed by direct injection of tumor (IT injection) in Melanoma or Squamous Cell Skin Carcinoma

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Evaluate Overall Response [2 years]

      Determine the overall response rate (Partial Response (PR) + Complete Response (CR))

    2. Evaluate Disease Control [2 years]

      Determine Disease Control Rate (PR+CR+Stable Disease (SD))

    3. Evaluate PFS [2 years]

      Progression free survival in months

    4. Evaluate Duration of Response, if any [2 years]

      Duration of Response (CR, PR, SD) in months
