Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This study is an open-label, phase 1/1b study of the pressure-enabled hepatic artery infusion of SD-101, a TLR 9 agonist, alone or in combination with intravenous checkpoint blockade in adults with metastatic uveal melanoma.

Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
In the Sentinel Cohort, patients will receive 2 SD-101 infusions (2 weeks apart) with assessments for toxicity prior to escalating from the first dose level (0.5 mg) to the second dose level (2 mg). In the absence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), each patient will be eligible to transition into Cohort A.
In Cohorts A-C and Phase 1b, patients will receive 2 cycles of SD-101. Each cycle consists of 3 consecutive weekly infusions. Escalating doses of SD-101 will be administered alone (Cohort A), together with nivolumab (Cohort B), and together with combined ipilimumab and nivolumab (Cohort C). Cohort B will begin dosing at the minimum anticipated biological effect level (MABEL(2mg SD-101)). Cohort C will begin one dose level below the MTD or optimal dose from Cohort B to optimize safety when adding CPI to SD-101.
Following determination of the recommended MTD or optimal dose of SD-101 for PEDD/HAI and which checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) regimen(s) are tolerated, the study will progress to Phase 1b. Patients in Phase 1b will receive the SD-101 dose selected from Phase 1 in the presence of systemic single- or double-agent checkpoint blockade. The choice of single- or double-agent CPI therapy together with SD-101 for Phase 1b will consider safety data in addition to response rates from Cohorts B and C in Phase 1.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Phase 1: To Determine the Safety of SD-101 Alone, in Combination with Nivolumab, and in Combination with Both Nivolumab and Ipilimumab [12 months]
As a measure of safety, adverse events will be graded according to CTCAE v5.0.
- Phase 1: To Determine the Maximum Tolerable Dose (MTD) or Optimal Dose of SD-101 alone, in Combination with Nivolumab, and in Combination with Both Nivolumab and Ipilimumab [12 months]
A standard 3+3 dose-escalation design will be employed to determine the MTD or optimal dose.
- Phase 1b: To Assess Overall Response Rate (ORR) [12 months]
As a measure of activity, ORR will be assessed. ORR will be assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumours (RECIST) v1.1.

As a measure of activity, OS will be assessed. The events for the assessment of 12-month OS are death events.

The choice of single- or dual-agent CPI therapy together with SD-101 for Phase 1b will consider AEs/SAEs per CTCAE v5.0.
- Phase 1: Determination of Single vs. Dual-agent CPI in Phase 1b using RECIST v1.1 [6 months]

As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine hepatic-specific response rate (HRR).
- Phase 1b: Assess Preliminary Efficacy in Terms of RECIST v1.1 for Immune Based Therapeutics [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine duration of response (DOR).
- Phase 1b: Assess Preliminary Efficacy in Terms of RECIST v1.1 for Immune Based Therapeutics [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine overall progression-free survival (PFS).
- Phase 1b: Assess Preliminary Efficacy in Terms of RECIST v1.1 for Immune Based Therapeutics [12 months]
As a measure of activity, RECIST 1.1 will be utilized to determine clinical benefit (complete response [CR] + partial response [PR] + stable disease [SD]).
