Brief Summary

This is a phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of intralesional talimogene laherparepvec administration in pediatric subjects with advanced non-CNS tumors that are amenable to direct injection

Detailed Description

This is a phase 1, multicenter, open-label study of talimogene laherparepvec in pediatric subjects with advanced non-CNS tumors that are amenable to direct injection in the clinical setting. Approximately 18 - 24 pediatric subjects are expected to be enrolled and treated with at least 1 dose of talimogene laherparepvec into 2 cohorts stratified by age. DLT will be evaluated based on at least 9 DLT-evaluable subjects in cohort A1. The DLT evaluation period is 35 days from the initial administration of talimogene laherparepvec.

Conditions

Advanced Non CNS Tumors

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Talimogene Laherparepvec (TVEC)

The first dose of talimogene laherparepvec will be administered at a dose of up to 4.0 mL of 10ᶺ6 PFU/mL followed by a dose of up to 4.0 mL of 10ᶺ8 PFU/mL 21 days (+3 days) later. Subsequent doses of up to 4.0 mL of 10ᶺ8 PFU/mL will be administered every 14 days (± 3 days) thereafter. Cohorts will be assigned as follows: Cohort A1 (age 12 to ≤ 21 years). Cohort B1 (age 2 to \< 12 years). The DLRT will review the safety data of the first 3 subjects in the older age cohort A1 to decide if the younger age cohort B1 can be opened for enrollment. If dose de-escalation is needed and if permissible based on the incidence of DLTs, additional DLT-evaluable subjects will be enrolled and treated at a lower dose level of talimogene laherparepvec. Dose de-escalation cohorts will be assigned as follows and the same DLT rules will be applied: Cohort A2 (age 12 to ≤ 21 years), Cohort B2 (age 2 to \< 12 years).

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Talimogene Laherparepvec

Intervention Type: DRUG

Talimogene laherparepvec will be administered by intralesional injection only into injectable cutaneous, subcutaneous, nodal tumors, and other non-visceral tumors with or without image ultrasound guidance. The first dose of talimogene laherparepvec will be up to 4.0 mL of 10\^6 PFU/mL administered on day 1. The second injection, up to 4.0 mL of 10\^8 PFU/mL (or up to 4.0 mL of 10\^6 PFU/mL for a dose de-escalated cohort), will be administered 21 (+3) days after the initial injection. All subsequent injections, up to 4.0 mL of 10\^8 PFU/mL (or up to 4.0 mL of 10\^6 PFU/mL for a dose de-escalated cohort), will be administered every 14 (± 3) days. The treatment cycle interval may be increased due to toxicity.

Exclusion Criteria
