E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
ARM 1
• To define the dose of IMCgp100 recommended for further investigation based on dose limiting toxicity (DLT) and pharmacokinetic (PK) data in patients with stage IV or unresectable stage III malignant melanomas. (Completed)
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMCgp100 following multiple weekly IV administrations at doses of 20mcg-50mcg.
ARM 2
• To establish the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of IMCgp100 based on Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) or recommended phase II dose (RP2D) when given daily over four days to patients with stage IV or unresectable Stage III malignant melanomas.
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMCgp100 following multiple daily IV administrations at the established RP2D. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of IMCgp100 (Completed)
• To characterize the PK exposure of IMCgp100 when administered intravenously weekly or daily to patients with stage IV and unresectable stage III malignant melanomas.
• To characterize changes in tumour burden following multiple infusions of IMCgp100 by RECIST 1.1 criteria in evaluable patients.
• To evaluate the incidence of anti-IMCgp100 antibody formation following multiple infusions of IMCgp100. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Pathologically documented Stage IV malignant melanoma or
unresectable Stage III melanoma for which no standard effective therapy exists or for which an appropriate window exists between alternative therapeutic options. Patients for whom early treatment with vemurafenib is indicated e.g. rapidly progressing or symptomatic disease, are excluded from this trial.
2. Previous surgery (other than resection of skin metastases), radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or experimental therapy completed >4 weeks before and all adverse events resolved to ≤ grade 1. In cases where localised radiotherapy has been applied, treatment with IMCgp100 can be commenced after a two week period.
3. HLA A2 positive.
4. ≥ 18 years old.
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1.
6. For patients in the Dose Expansion part only, measurable disease according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Patients participating in the dose escalation arms only require aeessable disease.
7. Life expectancy >3 months.
8. Blood tests within the following parameters:
a. Platelet count ≥100 x 10e9/L
b. Haemoglobin ≥9g/dL (blood transfusion to achieve this level is permitted)
c. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min using the modified Cockroft- Gault equation
d. Neutrophil count ≥1x10e9/L
e. Lymphocyte count ≥0.5x10e9/L
9. Female patients of childbearing potential must use maximally effective birth control during the period of therapy, must be willing to use contraception for 6 months following the last study drug infusion and must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test upon entry into this study. Otherwise, female patients must be postmenopausal (no menstrual period for a minimum of 12 months) or surgically sterile.
10. Male patients must be surgically sterile or willing to use a double barrier contraception method upon enrolment, during the course of the study, and for 6 months following the last study drug infusion.
11. Patients with a history of adrenal insufficiency, maintained on stable replacement dose corticosteroid (<10 mg/d prednisone or the equivalent) are eligible for treatment with IMCgp100, unless there is a past history of adrenal crisis. Eligible patients with a history of adrenal insufficiency receiving replacement dose corticosteroid must receive prophylactic stress dose corticosteroid prior to dosing during the first four doses of IMCgp100 treatment, regardless of weekly or daily dosing regimen.
12. Able to give informed consent. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Symptomatic brain metastases that are unstable, require steroids, or that have required radiation within the last 28 days.
2. Other active malignancy in the past 5 years except carcinoma in situ, completely excised non-melanomatous skin cancer or any other malignancy that in the opinion of the investigator is considered to be cured.
3. Comorbid medical condition that would increase the risk of toxicity in the opinion of the investigator or sponsor. Any symptomatic ongoing infection must be resolved before the patient can be treated in the study.
4. Uveitis
5. Had myocardial infarction within 1 year before enrolment, symptomatic congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association >Class II), unstable angina or unstable cardiac arrhythmia requiring medication.
6. Has an ejection fraction <50%.
7. Clinically significant electrocardiogram (ECG) changes that obscure the ability to assess the RR, PR and QT intervals. Patients with QTc calculated by Bazetts or locally preferred formula which is greater than 500ms.
8. Has hepatic function as follows:
- Aspartate aminotransferase >2.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
- Alanine aminotransferase >2.5 x ULN
- Bilirubin >2.0 x ULN
- Prothrombin time or partial thromboplastin time>1.5 x ULN
9. Bleeding diathesis.
10. Immunosuppressive condition or treatment including previous transplantation, splenectomy or known HIV infection.
11. Has a history of adult seizures.
12. Patients with evidence of a raised intracranial pressure in Arm2 of the study who will have a CSF sample taken
13. Patients receiving chronic corticosteroid treatment (longer than 8 weeks duration) for management of pre-existing adverse events at any dose, or patients with a history of chronic corticosteroid treatment longer than 8 weeks duration for adverse events within 6 months. |
