Phase 1B Study Evaluating Alternative Routes of Administration of CMP-001 in Combination With Pembrolizumab in Participants With Advanced Melanoma

NCT ID: NCT03084640

Last Updated: 2022-08-03

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1
• Total Enrollment: 30 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL
• Study Start Date: 2017-05-04
• Study Completion Date: 2021-09-30

Brief Summary

CMP-001-002 is a Phase 1b study of CMP-001 administered to participants with advanced melanoma who are either receiving pembrolizumab, or who have previously received an anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy for advanced melanoma, and who have not responded (that is, immunotherapy resistant).

This study will be conducted in two parts:

Part 1 will consist of a Dose Escalation Phase and a Dose Expansion Phase

• Dose Escalation Phase will be conducted to assess and identify a recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CMP-001 for subcutaneous (SC) administration
• The Dose Expansion Phase is intended to further characterize the safety, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of the RP2D of CMP-001 administered SC in combination with pembrolizumab

Part 2 will assess the safety and preliminary evidence of antitumor activity of CMP-001, administered both SC and intratumoral (IT) when given in combination with pembrolizumab.

Participants will continue treatment with CMP-001 in combination with pembrolizumab as long as they do not experience unacceptable toxicities and when continued treatment, is in the participant's best interest according to the Investigator.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• Participants enrolled into Part 1 must have tumor lesions where repeated IT injections are not feasible and in whom, based on the Investigator's judgement, SC injection is the only viable route of CMP-001 administration. Participants with lesions that are easily accessible for IT injections are not eligible to participate in Part 1. Participants enrolled into Part 2 must have at least one tumor lesion with a longest diameter of >/= 0.5 cm amenable for IT injection of CMP-001.

• Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of metastatic or unresectable malignant melanoma. Ocular melanoma participants are not eligible.
• Participants must have received prior treatment with anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy (alone or as part of a combination) in the advanced or metastatic setting and had documented progression per RECIST. Participants must have received at least 4 doses of anti-PD-1 or anti-PD-L1 therapy.
• Participants must have measurable disease by RECIST Version 1.1.
• Capable of understanding and complying with protocol requirements.
• A life expectancy of greater than 24 weeks at Screening.
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
• Most recent laboratory values (within 3 weeks prior to Week 1 Day 1) meet the following standards:

1. Bone marrow function: neutrophil count greater than or equal to (>/=) 1,000/cubic millimeter (mm^3), platelet count >/=75,000/mm^3 and hemoglobin concentration >/= 8.0 grams per deciliter (g/dL).

2. Liver function: total bilirubin less than or equal to (<=) 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) of each institution, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase <=3 times the ULN range of each institution.

3. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) <=2.0 times the ULN range of each institution.

4. Renal function: serum creatinine <=1.5 times the ULN range of each institution.

• The participant must sign a written informed consent form prior to the initiation of any study procedures. Adult participants unable to provide written informed consent on their own behalf will not be eligible for the study.

Exclusion Criteria

• Pregnant or breast feeding
• Received investigational therapy (that is, small molecule or biologic) within 30 days prior to the start of CMP-001 dosing on Week 1 Day 1. However, if an investigational drug has a short half-life, a reduced wash out period may be acceptable upon permission given by the Sponsor.

Participants who have a history of adrenal insufficiency and are receiving greater than 10 mg/day systemic steroids may be eligible but only after Sponsor consultation. Participants who are currently receiving steroids at a dose of <=10 mg/day do not need to discontinue steroids prior to enrollment.
