Study of CRX100 as Monotherapy and in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies

Study Purpose

This clinical study is an open-label, Phase 1, dose-escalation study to determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the drug product produced by Administering CRX100 alone and in combination with Pembrolizumab in advanced solid malignancies. Patients will be screened and evaluated to determine whether or not they meet stated inclusion criteria. Enrolled subjects will undergo leukapheresis to enable the ex vivo generation of CRX100. Patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), malignant melanoma (excluding uveal melanoma), gastric cancer, triple negative breast cancer, and osteosarcoma. The study will start with monotherapy dose escalation followed by combination cohorts.

Subjects must be willing and able to comply with all study procedures, requirements, and follow-up examinations.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participation in this study: 1. Subjects with new or progressive brain metastasis. Subjects with treated brain metastases are eligible if there is no evidence of progression for at least four weeks after central nervous system-directed treatment, as ascertained by clinical examination and brain imaging (MRI or CT) during the screening period. 2. Subjects who received any chemotherapy or immunotherapies (non-cell-based therapies) or oncolytic virus therapy, radiotherapy, radiosurgery or investigational agents within three weeks of enrollment. 3. Subjects who still are experiencing Grade 2 or higher AEs from prior therapies such as surgery, radiation therapy and systemic anti-cancer therapies unless approved by sponsor. 4. Subjects who received any type of cell-based therapies within the last 12 weeks from the planned apheresis date. 5. Subjects experiencing any active infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal) for which systemic antimicrobials are required. Subjects who need prophylactic anti-viral agents that can inhibit the replication of VACV will be excluded from participating. 6. Subjects must not have history of active or symptomatic autoimmune disease or evidence of symptomatic autoimmune pneumonitis, glomerulonephritis, vasculitis, other symptomatic autoimmune disease, documented history of autoimmune disease or syndrome requiring systemic treatment in the past two years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, steroids or immunosuppressive agents) Exceptions are permitted for vitiligo, type I diabetes mellitus, residual hypothyroidism due to autoimmune condition requiring only hormone replacement, psoriasis not requiring systemic treatment, conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger or other conditions approved by the medical monitor. 7. Have a condition requiring systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (>10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days prior to apheresis, and within 14 days prior to infusion.

Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active chronic hepatitis B or C, life-threatening illnesses unrelated to cancer, or any serious medical or psychiatric illness that could, in the Investigator's opinion, interfere with participation in this study. 9. Pregnant or nursing an infant (subject or household contacts). 10. Clinically significant immunodeficiency (e.g., due to underlying illness and/or medication) in a subject or household contacts. 11.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Monotherapy Dose-Escalation Cohorts

Prior to the current amendment, no DLTs were observed at Dose Levels 1-5. Starting with the current protocol amendment, dosing decisions in monotherapy cohorts will utilize a 3+3 design for Dose Level 6. CRX100 infusion will occur every nine weeks (+/- 7 days). Subjects will receive up to a maximum of four infusions of CRX100 unless it is determined by the treating physician and the sponsor that it is in the best interest of the subjects to receive additional doses of CRX100 beyond four doses. A minimum of three DLT-evaluable subjects will be doses at Dose Level 6 and expanded to six subjects if determined necessary based on DLT incidence using the 3+3 design, and discussion with SRC and Sponsor.

Experimental: Combination Therapy Cohorts

Subjects with relasped or refractory solid tumors, as defined in the inclusion criteria, will be enrolled to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor activity of CRX100 in combination with Pembrolizumab in patients with advanced solid malignancies. The dose of CRX100 used will be determined from the monotherapy cohorts. CRX100 infusion will occur every nine weeks (+/- 7 days). Subjects will receive up to a maximum of four doses of CRX100 unless it is determined by the treating physician and the sponsor that it is in the best interest of the subjects to receive additional doses of CRX100 beyond four doses. Pembrolizumab will be administered at 200mg IV every three weeks (Q3W) per the approved label.
