A Pilot Study of Sequential ONCOS-102, an Engineered Oncolytic Adenovirus Expressing GMCSF, and Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced or Unresectable Melanoma Progressing After PD1 Blockade
This is a multi center, phase I pilot study of sequential ONCOS-102 and pembrolizumab in
patients with advanced or unresectable melanoma progressing after PD1 blockade. The primary
objective of the study is to determine the safety of sequential treatment with ONCOS-102
followed by pembrolizumab. The protocol aims to enroll patients into two cohorts: prior PD1
monotherapy or prior PD1 plus ipilimumab given sequentially or concomitantly.
patients with advanced or unresectable melanoma progressing after PD1 blockade. The primary
objective of the study is to determine the safety of sequential treatment with ONCOS-102
followed by pembrolizumab. The protocol aims to enroll patients into two cohorts: prior PD1
monotherapy or prior PD1 plus ipilimumab given sequentially or concomitantly.
Inclusion Criteria:
- Adults 18 years of age or older.
- Histopathologically confirmed melanoma with an injectable cutaneous or lymph node
metastasis that has progressed in the opinion of the treating investigator despite
administering a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved anti-PD1 agent, with or
without ipilimumab.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 to 1.
- Measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1.
- Acceptable coagulation status: international normalised ratio (INR) of blood clotting,
prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time within ≤1.5 x upper limit
of normal (ULN).
- Completion of local therapy, such as radiation, surgical resection, injectable
immunebased therapy, or topical pro-inflammatory agent, 21 days prior to first dose of
protocol therapy.
- Adverse events from previous cancer therapies (excluding alopecia) must have recovered
to grade 1 (CTCAE, most recent version). Stable grade 2 AEs such as endocrine
conditions are allowed, and other chronic stable AEs may be considered on a case by
case basis by the Principal Investigator.
- Clinical stability of brain metastases for at least 4 weeks prior to first day of
study therapy.
- Acceptable liver and renal functions defined as:
- Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (does not include patients with Gilbert's Disease)
- Aspartate aminotransferase (AST, SGOT), alanine aminotransferase (ALT, SGPT) ≤3.0
x ULN
- Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x ULN
- Acceptable haematological function defined as (Patients can be transfused to meet the
haemoglobin entry criteria):
- Haemoglobin ≥9 g/dL
- Neutrophils ≥1.5 x 10^9/L
- Platelet count ≥75 x 10^9/L
- Able to provide valid written informed consent.
- All women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test
at screening.
- All patients must agree to use barrier contraception (i.e. condom) during study
treatment and for 2 months after the last virus treatment and 4 months after the last
dose of chemotherapy and pembrolizumab.
Exclusion Criteria:
- A concomitant medical condition requiring receipt of a therapeutic anticoagulant that
in the opinion of the treating physician cannot safely allow for therapeutic injection
of ONCOS-102 and tumor biopsies. Local clinical practice can be followed with regard
to holding a therapeutic anticoagulant during invasive procedures such as biopsies.
- A concomitant medical condition that in the opinion of the treating physician would
pose unreasonable additional risk to therapeutic injection of ONCOS-102.
- Receipt of Investigational agents within 28 days prior to first dose of protocol
therapy.
- Any symptomatic autoimmune disease (such as lupus, scleroderma, Crohn's disease,
ulcerative colitis) that requires administration of >10mg of prednisone equivalent.
Lower dose steroids for conditions such as hypophysitis are allowed.
- Any prior severe adverse event attributed to prior anti-PD1 therapy that, in the
Principal investigator's opinion, would contraindicate pembrolizumab administration
such as:
- Grade 2 or higher pneumonitis
- Grade 4 AST or ALT elevation
- Grade 3 or higher colitis attributable to PD1 blockade; note that colitis
attributable to ipilimumab is not excluded
- Note: in the absence of clinical symptoms of pancreatitis, elevations of amylase
or lipase are not contraindications to therapy on this trial
- Known active infection with Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), Hepatitis C Virus (HCV), or HIV.
Cleared HBV/HCV infection is not an exclusion, nor is HIV infection with cluster of
differentiations 4 (CD4) counts >500 and an undetectable viral load.
- Active bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, requiring systemic therapy apart from
anti-viral maintenance therapy for HIV.
- History of organ transplant.
- Patients requiring chronic systemic immunosuppressants, including steroids (prednisone
daily equivalent of >10 mg).
- Brain metastases that are clinically unstable (e.g. showing unequivocal growth on
imaging, requiring radiation therapy, or steroids >10mg of prednisone equivalent)
within 4 weeks of first dose of study drug.
- Known severe congenital or acquired cellular or humoral immunodeficiency such as
common variable immunodeficiency.
- Women who are pregnant or breast-feeding currently or are planning to do so during or
up to 3 months after the end of protocol therapy.
