Study Description

Brief Summary

The proposed clinical study is a Phase 1/2a trial to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and clinical activity of anti-HLA-G CAR-T cells IVS-3001 administered to subjects with previously treated, locally advanced, or metastatic solid tumors which are HLA-G positive (HLA-G+) - as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis on tumor biopsies using the 4H84 antibody.

Detailed Description

Primary Objectives:

IVS-3001 is an autologous CAR-T cell therapy targeting human leukocyte antigen (HLA-G)

Phase 1: To determine the safety, tolerability and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IVS-3001 in subjects with refractory or relapsed HLA-G+ solid tumors.
Phase 2a: To evaluate the anti-tumor activity of IVS-3001 in selected HLA-G+ solid tumor types.

Secondary Objectives:

To evaluate pharmacokinetic profile of IVS-3001: persistence, expansion.
To evaluate the clinical activity of IVS-3001 in selected HLA-G+ solid tumor types.
To assess the long-term safety of IVS-3001.

Exploratory Objectives:

• To explore functionality of IVS-3001 as well as immune biomarkers linked with IVS-3001 and their relationship with clinical response

For Phase 2a, eligible subjects will be enrolled into indication-specific cohorts:

Cohort 1: HLA-G+ clear cell renal cell carcinoma who failed or intolerant to checkpoint inhibitor (CPI) and tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI)
Cohort 2: Epithelial ovarian carcinoma who failed or intolerant to platinum-based therapy, and should have failed or intolerant for PARP inhibitor if BRCA 1/2 mutated
Cohort 3: Other HLA-G+ tumors (biomarker driven) who failed or intolerant to at least one prior line of therapy and for whom at discretion of treating physician there is no standard therapy to confer a clinical benefit
HLA-G expression on tumor cells (any level of expression is acceptable) as determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC) analysis on tumor biopsies using the 4H84 antibody [1, 2]
Measurable disease (at least one target lesion) per RECIST v1.1 [3]
Life expectancy >12 weeks.
Availability of a pre-treatment tumor archived tissue specimen to test for HLA-G expression.

In case an archival tissue is not available, patients should be willing to consent for pretreatment biopsy to screen for HLA-G expression.
