TNFalpha and Interleukin 2 Coding Oncolytic Adenovirus TILT-123 During TIL Treatment of Advanced Melanoma

Study Purpose

This is an open-label, phase 1, first-in-human (FIH), dose-escalation, multicenter, multinational trial evaluating the safety of oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123 as monotherapy and in association with T-cell therapy with TILs in metastatic melanoma patients.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Signed and dated informed consent before any trial-related activities.
  • - Male or female, between 18-75 years of age (both included).
  • - Pathologically confirmed previously treated refractory or recurrent stage 3-4 melanoma, which cannot be treated with curative intent with available therapies.
  • - At least one prior line of medical treatment is required (for example checkpoint inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, interleukin-2).
Multiple prior therapies (e.g. surgery, checkpoint inhibitors, kinase inhibitors, interleukin-2, interferon, chemotherapy, radiation) are allowed.
  • - A > 9 mm tumor (in diameter, typically a minimum of 1 cm3 in volume) without signs of necrosis must be available for biopsy/operation to enable growing of TILs.
  • - At least one additional tumor (>14 mm in diameter) must be available for injections and biopsies for correlative analyses.
The disease burden must be measurable, but does not need to fulfil RECIST 1.1.
  • - Eligible for adoptive T-cell therapy with tumor infiltrating lymphocytes.
Adequate hepatic, cardiac and renal functions as following: 1. Platelets > 75 000/mm3. 2. Haemoglobin ≥ 100 g/L. 3. AST and ALT < 3 x ULN. 4. GFR >60 ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula). 5. Leukocytes (WBC) > 3,0. 6. Bilirubin <1.5 x ULN.
  • - Men and women must be willing to use adequate forms of contraception from screening, during the trial, and for a minimum of 90 days after end of treatment, in accordance with the following: - Women of childbearing potential: Barrier contraceptive method (i.e. condom) must be used in addition to one of the following methods: Intrauterine devices or hormonal contraception (oral contraceptive pills, implants, transdermal patches, vaginal rings or long-acting injections).
  • - Women not of childbearing potential: Barrier contraceptive method (i.e. condom) must be used.
  • - Men: Barrier contraceptive method (i.e. condom) must be used.
  • - Demonstrated WHO performance score of 0-1 at screening.
  • - Life expectancy time longer than 3 months.
  • - Capable of understanding and complying with parameters as outlined in the protocol.
  • - BRAF negative or positive.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • - Use of immunosuppressive medications (corticosteroids or drugs used in treatment of autoimmune disease).
Exempted are the following which can be allowed at screening and during the trial: replacement corticosteroids if e.g. the patient has adrenal insufficiency after prior immunotherapy; pulmonal and topical treatments; up to 20 mg of prednisone/prednisolone.
  • - History of another active invasive cancer as judged by the investigator within the past 3 years except basalioma.
  • - Treated with any anti-cancer therapy for melanoma 30 days prior to enrolment.
Anti-cancer therapy for melanoma is defined as anti-cancer agents (immunotherapy, signal-transduction inhibitors [e.g. BRAF and MEK inhibitors], cytotoxic chemotherapy), radiotherapy and investigational agents. An investigational agent is any drug or therapy that is currently not approved for use in humans.
  • - Uncontrolled cardiac or vascular diseases.
  • - History of heart attack or cerebral stroke within the previous 12 months before screening or is not recovered from an older heart attack or cerebral stroke.
  • - LDH value > 3 x ULN.
  • - History of hepatic dysfunction, hepatitis or HIV.
  • - History of coagulation disorder.
  • - Any other disease which prevent participation in the opinion of the investigator.
  • - Female patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding or intends to become pregnant.
  • - Untreated brain metastases.
Treated brain metastases which have not progressed in 3 months prior to screening are allowed.
  • - Previously treated with any oncolytic adenovirus that was administered intratumorally.
  • - Previously treated with adoptive cell therapy.
  • - Allergy to TILT-123, TIL, or ingredients present in the investigational medicinal products.
- Administered an investigational medicinal product or device in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to screening

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT04217473
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Additional Details

The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety of TILT-123. The approach has the potential to a) increase the efficacy of adoptive T-cell therapy, b) remove the need for toxic pre- and post-conditioning regimens, c) yield the combined anti-tumor benefits of armed oncolytic viruses and T-cell therapy. Dose escalation of TILT-123 injection will take place between cohorts not intra-patient and will be determined based on Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs).

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: TILT-123

Patients will receive administrations of TILT-123. Patients will also receive Tumor Infiltrating Lymphocytes (TILs) during the treatment phase. Escalation to the next dose of TILT-123 level will occur when the safety data has been evaluated for all patients in the preceding dose level.

Interventions

Biological: - TILT-123

TNFalpha and IL-2 coding oncolytic adenovirus TILT-123
