Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is a Phase 1-2 open-label dose escalation study of the immuno-activating monoclonal antibody APX005M administered in combination with nivolumab to adult subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma. The Phase 1 portion is intended to establish the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when administered in combination with nivolumab. The Phase 2 portion of the study will evaluate safety and efficacy of the combination.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

APX005M-002 is an open-label Phase 1-2 study and comprises a dose-escalation portion (Phase 1) followed by a Phase 2 tumor specific portion.

Eligible subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma will receive intravenous APX005M in combination with nivolumab until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death, whichever occurs first.

Study objectives include:

* Determine the maximum tolerated dose and the recommended phase 2 dose of APX005M when given in combination with nivolumab
* Evaluate safety of the APX005M and nivolumab combination
* Evaluate the objective response rate, duration of response and median PFS by RECIST 1.1 in subjects with non-small cell lung cancer or metastatic melanoma receiving APX005M in combination with nivolumab
* Determine the PK of APX005M

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Histologically or cytologically confirmed, immunotherapy naïve or PD-1/PD-L1 pre-treated, metastatic or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer not amenable to curative treatment. Subjects may be treatment naive or could have received one prior platinum based chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer and subjects with a documented activating mutation (e.g., EGFR, ALK, ROS) must also have received the appropriate therapy and progressed
* Histologically or cytologically confirmed unresectable or metastatic melanoma that progressed during treatment with an anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy and had confirmation of PD\>=4 weeks later. Subjects with BRAF activating mutation could have also received a BRAF inhibitor and/or MEK inhibitor regimen prior to anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy.
* Measurable disease by RECIST 1.1
* ECOG performance status of 0 or 1
* Adequate bone marrow, liver and kidney function
* Negative pregnancy test for women of child bearing potential
* Agreement to use effective methods of contraception per the protocol requirements

Exclusion Criteria

* Previous exposure to any immunomodulatory agents (e.g., anti- CD40, anti-PD-1/PD-L1, anti-CTLA-4, IDO inhibitors) except PD-1/PD-L1 targeting agents in the subsets of patients that must have previous treatment with anti-PD-1/PD-L1 therapy
* Second malignancy (solid or hematologic) within the past 3 years except locally curable cancers that have been apparently cured
* Active, known, clinically serious infections within the 14 days prior to first dose of investigational product
* Use of systemic corticosteroids or other systemic immunosuppressive drugs
* Active, known or suspected autoimmune disease
* History of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required corticosteroids or current pneumonitis
* History of interstitial lung disease
* History of life-threatening toxicity related to prior anti-PD-1/PD-L1 treatment for subjects with metastatic melanoma or NSCLC.
