Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a Phase 1/2 open label trial of G100 in participants with low grade Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). G100 is composed of glucopranosyl lipid A in a stable emulsion and is a potent TLR4 (toll-like receptor-4) agonist. G100 will be administered by direct injection (intratumorally) into tumors of low grade NHL with or without standard low dose radiation therapy. Preclinical models and clinical studies in other cancers such as Merkel cell carcinoma have demonstrated that G100 administered in this manner can alter the tumor microenvironment, activate dendritic cells, T cells and other immune cells and induce systemic anti-tumor immune responses. In this trial, the safety, immunogenicity, and preliminary clinical efficacy of G100 will be examined alone or with pembrolizumab.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Follicular low-grade NHL:
* In Part 1-3: either treatment naïve (except for France) OR relapsed or refractory following at least one prior treatment.
* In Part 4, enrollment is limited to relapsed OR refractory follicular NHL participants.
* In Part 5, enrollment will include relapsed and refractory CD20+ follicular NHL following at least one but not more than 2 prior treatments.
2. Tumor mass(es) accessible for intratumoral injection
* For Part 1-3, are being considered for local radiation therapy and at least one additional site of disease outside the radiation field for assessment of distal (abscopal) response.
* For Part 4 and 5, radiation therapy is omitted. Measurable tumor mass(es) accessible for intratumoral injection must be present for treatment and assessment of response.
3. ≥ 18 years of age
4. Life expectancy of ≥ 6 months per the investigator
5. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
6. Electrocardiogram (ECG) without evidence of clinically significant arrhythmia or ischemia
7. If female of childbearing potential (FCBP), willing to undergo pregnancy testing and agrees to use two methods of birth control or is considered highly unlikely to conceive during the dosing period and for three months after last study treatment, or if receiving pembrolizumab, four months after last treatment
8. If male and sexually active with a FCBP, must agree to use highly effective contraception such as latex condom or is sterile (e.g. following a surgical procedure) during the dosing period and for three months after last study treatment, or if receiving pembrolizumab, four months after last treatment
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Cancer therapies, including chemotherapy, radiation (non-study regimen related), biologics or kinase inhibitors, granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) or granulocyte/monocyte-colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) within 4 weeks prior to the first scheduled G100 dose
2. Investigational therapy within 4 weeks prior to G100 dosing
3. Prior administration of other intratumoral immunotherapeutics
4. Inadequate organ function including:
1. Marrow: Peripheral blood leukocyte count (WBC) \< 3000/mm\^3, absolute neutrophil count ≤ 1500/mm\^3, platelets \< 75000/mm\^3, or hemoglobin \< 10 gm/dL
2. Hepatic: alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \> 2.5 x Upper Limit of Normal (ULN), total serum bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN (participants with Gilbert's Disease may be included if their total bilirubin is ≤3.0 mg/dL)
3. Renal: Creatinine \> 1.5x ULN
4. Other: INR (international normalized ratio) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \>1.5 x ULN
5. Significant immunosuppression from:
1. Concurrent, recent (≤ 4 weeks ago) or anticipated treatment with systemic corticosteroids at any dose, or
2. Other immunosuppressive medications such as methotrexate, cyclosporine, azathioprine or conditions such as common variable hypogammaglobulinemia
6. Pregnant or nursing
7. Myocardial infarction within 6 months of study initiation, active cardiac ischemia or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Grade III or IV heart failure
8. History of other cancer within 2 years (except non-melanoma cutaneous malignancies and cervical carcinoma in situ)
9. Recent (\<1 week ago) clinically significant infection, active tuberculosis or evidence of active hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV infection
10. Central nervous system involvement with lymphoma, including parenchymal and leptomeningeal disease.

(If a superficial lymph node or subcutaneous mass is to be injected, participants on agents such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), aspirin, or clopidogrel are eligible and these agents do not have to be withheld. For procedures with moderate or significant risk of bleeding, long-acting agents such as aspirin or clopidogrel should be discussed with the Medical Monitor and may need to be discontinued before G100 therapy.
For participants enrolled in Part 2 or Part 4 with the potential to receive pembrolizumab:
