E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Inclusion Criteria:
1.Have documented histologic diagnosis of synovial sarcoma (may be confirmed by the presence of t(X;18) (p11:q11) translocation or B cell lymphoma 6 corepressor [BCOR] rearrangement) and have disease that is unresectable locally-advanced or metastatic prior to the start of first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy. Unresectable is defined as having evidence of positive surgical margins after resection of primary disease or a documented surgical consultation with assessment of an inability of resection to provide clear margins.
2.Have IHC test results from tumor biopsy for NY ESO 1 that are positive (≥1% expression).
3.At the time of Pre screening, subjects must be receiving a first line anthracycline or ifosfamide-containing systemic anti-cancer therapy regimen (single agent ifosfamide, single agent anthracycline, combination anthracycline plus ifosfamide, or combination anthracycline plus olaratumab). Subjects must have received at least 4 cycles but no more than 8 cycles of therapy (or no more than 180 days of systemic anti-cancer therapy). Subjects who have received local regional therapy (surgical resection, radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation, or cryotherapy) are eligible if they meet the following:
a.Subjects whose disease converted to operable after completion of first-line chemotherapy are eligible, if local regional therapy (surgical resection, radiotherapy, radiofrequency ablation or cryotherapy) is completed within the 180-day period from the date of the first dose of first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy. Please note that an extension of this 180-day may be allowed per Section 3.3 of the protocol.
b.Subjects whose disease remains inoperable after completion are eligible, if radiotherapy is completed within the 180-day period from the date of the first dose of first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy and there is no evidence of progressive disease prior to initiation of radiotherapy. Please note that an extension of this 180-day period may be allowed per Section 3.3 of the protocol.
c.Subjects who have PD ≤6 months after date of last dose of adjuvant/neoadjuvant systemic anti-cancer therapy or date of last day of local regional therapy are not eligible.
4.Must have documentation of no evidence of disease progression of the tumor during or after completion of first line systemic anti-cancer therapy as determined by the investigator using RECIST v1.1 guidelines. Subjects who have a tumor response of SD with evidence of ≥15% to 20% increase in tumor burden will be submitted for Central Review to adjudicate the investigator’s assessment of tumor response prior to randomization. Subjects with NED are eligible.
5.Have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1.
6.Age ≥12 years.
7.Have a life expectancy of at least 6 months, as determined by the investigator.
8.If a female of child-bearing potential (FCBP), willing to undergo pregnancy testing and agree to use at least 1 highly-effective (e.g., combined [estrogen and progesterone containing] oral hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, vasectomy, or sexual abstinence) or 2 effective contraceptive methods (e.g., condom, diaphragm, oral progesterone only contraception) during the dosing period and for 1 month (which is the duration of a menstruation cycle) after administration of the last dose of CMB305. More stringent contraception criteria should be followed if requested by local regulatory authorities.
9.If male and sexually active with a FCBP, must be surgically sterile (i.e., vasectomy) or agree to use highly effective contraception, such as latex condom, during the dosing period and for 3 months (which is the duration of a sperm cycle) after administration of the last dose of CMB305. More stringent contraception criteria should be followed if requested by local regulatory authorities.
10.Have recovered from the toxic effects (except alopecia) to grade 2 or better from systemic anti cancer therapy according the National Cancer Institute-Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Version 4.03 (or newer).

2. Have received prior anti-NY-ESO-1 therapy.
3. Have received first-line systemic anti-cancer therapy other than an anthracycline-containing or ifosfamide-containing regimen (single agent anthracycline, single agent ifosfamide, combination anthracycline plus ifosfamide, or combination anthracycline plus olaratumab).
4. Have received treatment with systemic immunomodulatory agents (including, but not limited to, interleukin-2) within 28 days prior to administration of the first dose of CMB305 (i.e., Day 1) or 5 half-lives of the drug, whichever occurs sooner.
5. Have significant immunosuppression from:
a. Concurrent, recent (≤21 days prior to administration of the first CMB305 dose [i.e., Day 1]), or anticipated need for chronic treatment with systemic immunosuppressive dose of corticosteroids (the use of physiologic doses of corticosteroids may be approved after consultation with the sponsor).
b. Other immunosuppressive medications (≤21 days prior to administration of the first CMB305 dose [i.e., Day 1]) including, but not limited to, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents or conditions such as common variable hypogammaglobinemia.
6. Have psychiatric, other medical illness, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, prevents compliance with the study procedures or the ability to provide valid informed consent (or assent for subjects 12 to <18 years of age).
7. Have a history of uncontrolled autoimmune disease.
8. Have significant electrocardiogram (ECG) finding or cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association cardiac disease (>Class II), myocardial infarction within the previous 3 months before administration of the first dose of CMB305 (i.e., Day 1), unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina.
