Brief Summary

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

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with oral microbiome study intervention (SER-401) or matching placebo in combination with anti-programmed cell death 1 (anti-PD-1) therapy (nivolumab) in participants with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The study also intends to assess clinical outcomes, the impact of microbiome study intervention administration on the microbiome profile, and its association with clinical and immunological outcomes.

Detailed Description

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

This is a Phase 1b, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled, blinded study in adult participants with anti-PD-1 therapy naïve, unresectable or metastatic melanoma to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SER-401, or matching placebo in combination with anti-PD-1 therapy (nivolumab). Prior to initiating microbiome study intervention and nivolumab, participants will undergo an antibiotic or antibiotic placebo treatment lead-in to prime the gut microbiome for engraftment of the oral microbiome study intervention. Study intervention groups will be assessed for safety, changes in the microbiome, changes in the percentage of tumoral CD8 T cells, and antitumor activity. Participants must have measurable disease that can be biopsied and consent to baseline and on-treatment biopsies, as well as stool and blood biomarker collection throughout the study.

Participants Caregivers Investigators
Participants will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to oral microbiome study intervention or matching placebo. Nivolumab will be administered open-label as standard of care to all groups. Investigators, site personnel, and participants will remain blinded to the assignment of microbiome study intervention throughout the course of the study. Select Sponsor personnel, including but not limited to the Medical Monitor, Clinical Scientists, Biostatistician, and Patient Safety, will be unblinded to treatment assignment for ongoing safety monitoring.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Participant must be willing to provide a baseline stool sample.
2. Histologically-confirmed Stage IV cutaneous melanoma or Stage III cutaneous, acral or mucosal melanoma that is judged inoperable. Participants with a history of uveal melanoma are not eligible.
3. Measurable disease as defined by Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST v1.1; ie, defined as at least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured in at least 1 dimension \[longest diameter to be recorded\] with a minimum size of ≥ 10 mm by computerized tomography \[CT\] scan or caliper measurement on clinical exam or ≥ 20 mm by chest X-ray).

1. Malignant lymph nodes must be ≥ 15 mm in short axis when assessed by CT scan to be considered pathologically enlarged and measurable.
2. Participants must have at least one measurable lesion by RECIST and a separate lesion amenable to biopsy that has not been previously irradiated.

i. Participants must be willing to undergo a newly-obtained core needle or incisional biopsy at baseline (prior to antibiotic or antibiotic placebo administration). Fine needle aspiration is not acceptable.
4. Participants must be willing to undergo tumor biopsy on treatment.
