NCT03435640

Brief Summary

Patients received intratumoral (IT) injections of NKTR-262 in 3-week cycles for up to 3 cycles; bempegaldesleukin with or without nivolumab was administered every 3 weeks (q3w), and treatment continued until unacceptable toxicity, death, or disease progression per RECIST 1.1. Based on Phase 1 results of the study, the decision was made not to start the Phase 2 part of the study and the study was terminated.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants Experiencing Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTS)

    DLTs were assessed in Cohort 1 through Cohort 9, which had dose levels of NKTR-262 as 0.03mg, 0.06mg, 0.06mg, 0.12mg, 0.24mg, 0.48mg, 0.96mg, 1.92mg, and 3.84mg in combination with bempegaldesleukin (bempeg). There was only 1 DLT that occurred in one of the Cohort 9 patients. Therefore, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of NKTR 262 was not reached.

    The DLT window is 21 days following NKTR-262 single agent administration (Cycle 1) and an additional 9 days when combined with bempeg for staggered dosing administration (Cohorts 1 and 2), or 7 days for the same day administration (Cohort 3 and higher).

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR) Per RECIST 1.1 in Cohort A and Cohort B at Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D)

    Objective Response Rate (ORR) per RECIST 1.1 in Cohort A and Cohort B at Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects with evidence of a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST) Version 1.1 and as assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR).

    From Cycle 1 Day 1 to 100 days after the last dose of study drug or the date for new anti-cancer therapy, whichever is earlier.

Study Arms (1)

NKTR-262 + bempegaldesleukin or + bempegaldesleukin with nivolumab

EXPERIMENTAL

Phase 1: NKTR-262 in escalating doses, combined with bempegaldesleukin. The goal of this dose escalation part of the study is to establish a recommended Phase 1b dose for NKTR-262 + bempegaldesleukin with nivolumab, followed by a dose-confirmation cohort.

Drug: NKTR-262Drug: bempegaldesleukinDrug: nivolumab

Interventions

During Phase 1 Doublet: Patients receive escalating doses of NKTR-262 IT (starting dose 0.03 mg) in 3-week treatment cycles. During Phase 1 Doublet (Cohort A), Phase 2 Doublet: Patients were to receive the RP2D of NKTR-262. During Phase 1 Triplet (Cohort B), and Phase 2 Triplet: Patients receive the RP2D of NKTR-262.

NKTR-262 + bempegaldesleukin or + bempegaldesleukin with nivolumab

During Phase 1 Doublet (Cohort A), and proposed Phase 2 Doublet: Patients receive 0.006 mg/kg bempegaldesleukin administered in 3-week treatment cycles. During Phase 1 Triplet (Cohort B), and proposed Phase 2 Triplet: Patients receive 0.006 mg/kg bempegaldesleukin administered in 3-week treatment cycles.

Also known as: NKTR-214
NKTR-262 + bempegaldesleukin or + bempegaldesleukin with nivolumab

During Phase 1 Triplet (Cohort B), and proposed Phase 2 Triplet: Patients receive a nivolumab flat dose of 360 mg administered in 3-week treatment cycles.

Also known as: Opdivo®
NKTR-262 + bempegaldesleukin or + bempegaldesleukin with nivolumab

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis of a locally advanced (not amenable to curative therapy such as surgical resection) metastatic cancer of the following histologies: melanoma (MEL), Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC), triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), renal cell carcinoma (RCC), colorectal cancer, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), or sarcoma.
  • Life expectancy \> 12 weeks as determined by the Investigator.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0 or 1.
  • Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1.
  • Patients enrolled in Cohorts 1-10, Cohort A, Cohort B and Phase 2 Doublet must be refractory to all therapies known to confer clinical benefit to their disease.
  • Fresh tumor tissue available for cellular characterization and programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-L1) status.
  • Injected lesions (up to two) must be between 20 mm and 90 mm in diameter for IT injection; lesions must be accessible for baseline and on-treatment biopsies. Any liver lesion targeted for injection must not exceed 50 mm at the time of injection.
  • Demonstrated adequate organ function within 14 days of Cycle 1 Day 1 (C1D1).

You may not qualify if:

  • Use of an investigational agent or an investigational device within 21 days before administration of first dose of study drug(s).
  • Patients treated with prior interleukin-2 (IL-2).
  • Patients who have been previously treated with a toll-like receptor (TLR) agonist (excluding topical agents) and patients who have received experimental cancer vaccines.
  • Patients who have received systemic interferon (IFN)α within the previous 6 months prior to enrollment to the study.
  • Other active malignancy, except non-melanomic skin cancer
  • Evidence of clinically significant interstitial lung disease or active, noninfectious pneumonitis.
  • Prior surgery or radiotherapy within 14 days of initiating study drug(s). Patients must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not required corticosteroids and have not had radiation pneumonitis.
  • Prolonged Fridericia's corrected QT interval (QTcF) \> 450 ms for men and \> 470 ms for women at Screening.
  • History of unstable or deteriorating cardiac disease within the previous 6 months prior to screening including but not limited to the following:
  • Unstable angina or myocardial infarction.
  • Congestive heart failure (NYHA Class III or IV).
  • Uncontrolled clinically significant arrhythmias.
  • Patients with a history of any retinal disorders (e.g., retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, retinal hemorrhage, macular degeneration).
  • Uveal melanoma will be excluded
  • Patients with tumor that invade the superior vena cava or other major blood vessels.
