E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
1.To assess the safety and tolerability of investigational treatment combinations based on the proportion of participants with adverse events (AEs)
2.To evaluate objective response rate (ORR) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
1.To evaluate the duration of response (DOR) as assessed by BICR per RECIST 1.1 |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Has histologically or cytologically confirmed melanoma
2. Has unresectable Stage III or Stage IV melanoma, not amenable to local therapy
3. Has the presence of at least 1 measurable lesion by CT or MRI per RECIST 1.1 as confirmed by BICR
4. Has progressed on treatment with an anti-PD-1/L1 mAb administered either as monotherapy, or in combination with other checkpoint inhibitors or other therapies
5. Has submitted prestudy imaging
6. Has not received more than 3 lines of therapy for their advanced melanoma
7. Has provided a tumor biopsy
8. Is male or female from 18 years to 120 years at the time of signing the informed consent
9. Has an ECOG performance status 0 to 1 (as assessed within 7 days of the first dose of study intervention)
10. Contraceptive use by men should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
Male participants are eligible to participate if they agree to the following during treatment with the investigational agents.
Be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis) and agree to remain abstinent
OR
Must agree to use contraception unless confirmed to be azoospermic (vasectomized or secondary to medical cause)
11. Contraceptive use by women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies
- A female participant is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Is not a WOCBP
OR
- Is a WOCBP and using a contraceptive method that is highly effective (with a failure rate of <1% per year), with low user dependency, or be abstinent from heterosexual intercourse as their preferred and usual lifestyle (abstinent on a long term and persistent basis), during the intervention period and for the time specified in the protocol after the last dose of study intervention. The investigator should evaluate the potential for contraceptive method failure (ie, noncompliance, recently initiated) in relationship to the first dose of study intervention
- A WOCBP must have a negative highly sensitive pregnancy test (urine or serum as required by local regulations) within 24 hours before the first dose of study intervention
- If a urine test cannot be confirmed as negative (eg, an ambiguous result), a serum pregnancy test is required. In such cases, the participant must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive
12. The participant (or legally acceptable representative if applicable) provides written informed consent/assent for the study
13. Has adequate organ function. Specimens must be collected within 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention
14. Has resolution of toxic effect(s) of the most recent prior therapy to Grade 1 or less (except alopecia). If the participant received major surgery or radiation therapy of >30 Gy, they must have recovered from the toxicity (resolved to ≤ Grade 1) and/or complications from the intervention |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency or is receiving chronic systemic steroid therapy (in dosing exceeding 10 mg daily of prednisone equivalent) or any other form of immunosuppressive therapy within 7 days before the first dose of study intervention. Participants with asthma that require intermittent use of bronchodilators, inhaled steroids, or local steroid injections would not be excluded from the study
2. Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or requires active treatment within the past 2 years. Exceptions to the secondary malignancy exclusion include basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, new nonulcerated primary melanoma <1 mm in depth with no nodal involvement, Grade 1 follicular lymphoma or carcinoma in situ (eg, breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy
3. Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated CNS metastases may participate provided they are stable (without evidence of progression by imaging prior to the first dose of study intervention as evidenced by 2 scans at least 4 weeks apart providing stability, and any neurologic symptoms have returned to baseline), have no evidence of new or enlarging brain metastases confirmed by repeat imaging, and have not required steroids for at least 14 days before study intervention. The second scan showing stability may be used as baseline scan if acquired within the Screening Phase
4. Has ocular or mucosal melanoma
5. Has known hypersensitivity to active substances or any of their excipients including previous clinically significant hypersensitivity reaction to treatment with another mAb
6. Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in the past 2 years (ie, with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids, or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (eg, thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed
7. Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy
8. Has known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV; HIV 1/2 antibodies) No testing of HIV is required unless mandated by local health authority
9. Has known history of hepatitis B (defined as HBsAg reactive) or known hepatitis C virus (defined as HCV RNA [qualitative] is detected) infection
10. Has a history of (noninfectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or current pneumonitis
11. Has a history of active tuberculosis (TB; Bacillus tuberculosis)
12. A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to randomization or treatment allocation. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
13. Has received prior systemic anticancer therapy including investigational agents within 4 weeks prior to randomization/allocation
14. Has received prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of first dose of study intervention. Participants must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis
15. Has had major surgery (<3 weeks prior to first dose of study intervention)
16. Has received a live vaccine within 30 days before the first dose of study intervention. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, BCG, and typhoid vaccine. Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed; however, intranasal influenza vaccines (eg, FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed
17. Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study intervention
18. Has a history or has current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the substudy, interfere with the participation for the full duration of the substudy, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator
19. Is pregnant or breastfeeding or expecting to conceive or father children within the projected duration of the substudy, starting with the Screening visit through 120 days after the last dose of study intervention
20. Has had an allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant |
