Brief Summary

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

This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 when given together with nivolumab or ipilimumab in treating patients with stage III or IV melanoma. Monoclonal antibodies, such as anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503, nivolumab, and ipilimumab, may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Detailed Description

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

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 (anti-SEMA4D VX15/2503) with nivolumab, or ipilimumab, in melanoma patients who have progressed on anti-PD1/L1 based checkpoint inhibitors.

II. To determine the recommended phase II dose and schedule of the combination of anti-SEMA4D VX15/2503 with nivolumab, or ipilimumab, in melanoma patients who have progressed on anti-PD1/L1 based checkpoint inhibitors.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. Define the adverse event profile for the agent combinations and determine attribution (i.e. drug related adverse events \[AEs\]); II. To evaluate clinical response of patients treated with maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) of the combination of anti-SEMA4D with nivolumab, or ipilimumab.

III. To evaluate whether adding anti-SEMA4D to PD1 or CTLA-4 blockade can increase T-cell infiltration into tumors and whether change in T-cell infiltration is associated with response.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 arms.

ARM A: Patients receive anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes and nivolumab IV over 30 minutes every 28 days for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

ARM B: Patients receive anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 IV over 60 minutes and ipilimumab IV over 30 minutes every 21 days for courses 1-4, then receive anti-SEMA4D monoclonal antibody VX15/2503 every 28 days for subsequent courses for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for 2 years, every 6 months for 3 years, then annually thereafter.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with histologically confirmed unresectable stage III or stage IV metastatic melanoma, who have not been previously treated with a SEMA4D antibody and have had prior anti-PD1/PDL1 inhibitors with documented progression; patient may have or not have prior anti-CTLA4 treatments
* Measurable disease per RECIST v. 1.1 criteria using imaging scans, or peripheral lesions that can be adequately documented with a picture and a ruler even if they do not meet RECIST criteria.
* Patients must have non-target lesion accessible for sequential biopsy (core needle biopsy or excision preferred, fine needle aspiration not eligible)
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1
* Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within 24 hour of initiation of dosing and must agree to use an effective form of contraception during the study from the time of the negative pregnancy test up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug.

Women of non-childbearing potential may be included if they are either surgically sterile or have been postmenopausal for \>= 1 year. Fertile men must also agree to use an effective method of birth control while on study drug and up to 6 months after the last dose of study drug
