Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This phase I/II trial is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose or the maximum administered dose of intratumoral administration of hu14.18-IL2 and to evaluate side effects of intratumoral hu14.18-IL2 when given alone, after radiation therapy, after radiation therapy and in combination with nivolumab, and after radiation therapy and in combination with nivolumab and ipilimumab in patients with melanoma that is advanced (stage IV) or with melanoma that cannot be removed by surgery and is considered surgically incurable. Hu14.18-IL2 is a molecule called a fusion protein that can bind to some tumor cells and cause immune cells to become activated to kill tumor cells. Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses beams of high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Immunotherapy with immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as nivolumab and ipilimumab, can help the body's immune system attack cancer by releasing the "brakes" on the immune system to allow cancer fighting immune cells to remain activated. This study will evaluate whether giving intratumoral hu14.18-IL2 with radiation therapy, nivolumab and ipilimumab has antitumor activity for participants with advanced melanoma. After completion of study treatment, participants are followed up at 30 days, every 12 weeks for up to 2 years, and then every 6 months thereafter.

- PHASE IA: As described above. Participants receive hu14.18-IL2 fusion protein intratumorally (IT). PHASE IB: As described above. Participants undergo palliative RT and hu14.18-IL2 fusion protein IT as in phase IA. PHASE IC: As described above. Participants undergo palliative RT, receive nivolumab, and hu14.18-IL2 fusion protein IT as in phase IA. PHASE ID: As described above. Participants undergo palliative RT, receive nivolumab in combination with ipilimumab, and hu14.18-IL2 fusion protein IT as in phase IA.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Subjects must have histologically proven, malignant melanoma, that is advanced (stage IV) or is unresectable and therefore considered surgically incurable
* Subject's disease must be measurable by immune-related RECIST criteria using clinical assessments or imaging
* Subjects must have at least one (1), but preferably two (2), sites of readily accessible, superficial disease (i.e., cutaneous, subcutaneous, and/or readily-palpable lymphadenopathy) that are amenable to repeated hu14.18-IL2 injections and two (2) to four (4) biopsies (designated Lesions A (index lesion) and B). These lesions must be at least 1 cm, but no greater than 5 cm, in longest diameter.
* If there are two lesions, one will be injected with hu14.18-IL2 and undergo biopsies. The second will not undergo injections with hu14.18-IL2, but will undergo two biopsies and be observed clinically. It is preferable, but not required, that these lesions have not received prior RT.
* Subjects must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 or 1
* Subjects must have received or declined at least one FDA approved immunotherapy treatment demonstrating an impact on survival (i.e: anti-CTLA-4 antibody, anti-PD-1 antibody, IL2, etc).
* Subjects with Central Nervous System (CNS) metastases are eligible if the CNS lesions are stable for at least 2 months and if tapered off treatment doses of systemic corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment on the trial. Management with maintenance physiologic doses of corticosteroids is acceptable.
* Subjects to be entered into Phase IB, IC and ID must be evaluated by a radiation oncologist and determined to have a need for palliative RT based on current or imminent symptoms at a tumor site that is also injectable. If palliative RT is needed to one or more disease sites, a separate site of disease that does not require RT must remain to enable assessment of systemic disease response.
* Subjects must have adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function as defined by:
* Total White Blood Cell (WBC) \> 3,000/mm3 (or total neutrophil count \> 1,500/mm3), platelets \>100,000/mm3, and hemoglobin \> 10 g/dL.
* AST/ALT ≤ 3 x the upper limit of normal. Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (\< 3.0 mg/dL for subjects with Gilbert's Syndrome).
* Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal
* Subjects with a history of ischemic cardiac disease must complete a stress radionuclide scan with results that show no evidence of myocardial ischemia or heart failure, as well as normal pulmonary function
* Subjects must be willing and able to provide informed written consent for the study.
* Subjects must have no immediate requirements for palliative chemotherapy, or surgery. Subjects in Arm 1A must have no immediate requirement for palliative RT.
* Subjects must be willing and able to discontinue antihypertensive medications if advised to do so for the days of hu14.18-IL2 administration.
* Subjects must have a washout period of at least 28 days between any prior systemic anti-cancer therapy (including immunotherapies) and the first dose of study drug(s).
Exclusion Criteria:
* Subjects with a diagnosed auto-immune disease (exceptions: subjects with controlled diabetes mellitus type I, thyroid disease, vitiligo and alopecia areata not requiring treatment with immunosuppressants are eligible)
* Subjects with a history of diabetes mellitus requiring systemic therapy within the past 3 months (i.e. either oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin) must have a documented Hemoglobin A1c \<8.0% at the time of enrollment.
* Subjects with known genetic conditions causing pre-disposition to RT toxicity (i.e: Li-Fraumeni, ATM deficiency, active scleroderma, etc).
* Subjects who cannot provide independent, legal, informed consent.
* Women of childbearing potential will be excluded if they are pregnant, nursing, or not willing to use effective contraception, as discussed with the treating physician, during the treatment period. A negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) is required for women of child bearing potential within 14 days before study registration.
* A person of childbearing potential is anyone (regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, having undergone tubal ligation, or remaining celibate by choice) who was born with a uterus and at least one ovary and meets the following criteria
* Has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or
* Has not been naturally postmenopausal for at least 12 consecutive months (i.e., has had a menses at any time in the preceding 12 consecutive months).
* Subjects with symptoms of ischemic cardiac disease, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within the immediate preceding 6 months and/or uncontrolled cardiac rhythm disturbance
* Subjects with significant psychiatric disabilities or seizure disorders
* Subjects with symptomatic pleural effusions or ascites.
* Subjects with organ allografts
* Subjects who require, or are likely to require, systemic treatment doses of corticosteroids, or other immunosuppressive drugs, or have used them within 2 weeks of registration (clarification: subjects receiving physiologic maintenance or replacement doses of systemic steroids are eligible).
* Subjects with significant intercurrent illnesses per physician discretion.
* Subjects with active or acute infections or active peptic ulcers, unless these conditions are adequately corrected or controlled, in the opinion of the treating physician.
* Subjects with a second malignancy other than adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer. Subjects will be considered eligible if they have been continuously disease free for \> 5 years from a second malignancy prior to the time of enrollment.
* Subjects with known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, active or chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection, or with clinical evidence of hepatitis.
* Subjects with a clinically significant neurologic deficit or objective peripheral neuropathy (Grade ≥2).
* Subjects with known hypersensitivity to hu14.18-IL2 or human immunoglobulin, or those who experienced significant immune-related adverse events requiring treatment with steroids or other immunosuppressant therapy during prior treatment with ipilimumab, or anti-PD1/PD-L1 checkpoint blockade therapy.References
