Brief Summary
This is a clinical study to compare the efficacy and safety of HBI-8000 combined with nivolumab to Placebo combined with nivolumab in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma. A separate open-label cohort of adults with new, progressive brain metastasis or adolescents with or without new progressive brain metastasis receive HBI-8000 combined with nivolumab.

Study Arms (2)
Test Arm
EXPERIMENTALHBI-8000 30 mg oral BIW + nivolumab IV at specific doses on specific days
Control Arm
PLACEBO COMPARATORPlacebo oral BIW + nivolumab IV at specific doses on specific days
Interventions
Patients will take 30 mg of HBI-8000 orally approximately 30 minutes after a full meal, beginning on Day 1 and continue every 3 to 4 days on the BIW schedule. On Day 1 of each cycle nivolumab IV will be administered by intravenous infusion at specific doses on specific days in accordance with OPDIVO® manufacturer regional product information insert and the institution's prescribing practice. In adolescent patients with body weight \< 40 kg, nivolumab will be dosed at specific doses on specific days.
Patients will take 30 mg of Placebo orally approximately 30 minutes after a full meal, beginning on Day 1 and continue every 3 to 4 days on the BIW schedule. On Day 1 of each cycle nivolumab IV at specific doses will be administered by intravenous infusion in accordance with OPDIVO® manufacturer regional product information insert and the institution's prescribing practice.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Histopathologically confirmed diagnosis of non-uveal, Stage III (unresectable), or Stage IV (metastatic) melanoma according to AJCC staging system (8th edition).
- Known BRAF V600 mutation status or consent to BRAF V600 mutation testing before randomization.
- Tumor tissue available for PD-L1 testing at central lab or local laboratory; results must be obtained prior to randomization. In the event when archived tumor tissue is not available, new tumor biopsy or historical PD-L1 test results may be used for randomization, however tumor tissue, either taken previously or newly acquired, must be provided for central biomarker confirmation for final data analyses.
- PD-L1 expression level is required for randomization. In order to be randomized, a patient must be classified as PD-L1 positive or PD-L1 negative according to the following criteria:
- PD-L1 positive (≥ 1% tumor cell membrane staining in a minimum of a hundred evaluable tumor cells) vs
- PD-L1 negative (\< 1% tumor cell membrane staining in a minimum of a hundred evaluable tumor cells).
- Note: If an insufficient amount of tumor tissue is available prior to the start of the screening phase, patients must consent to allow the acquisition of additional tumor tissue for performance of biomarker analyses.
- Males or females 12 years of age or older.
- ECOG performance status ≤1 for age ≥18 years, Lansky performance status ≥80% for age 12 to 17 years.
- At least one measurable lesion defined by RECIST 1.1 criteria, (separate from the lesion to be used for tumor tissue collection) not counting brain metastasis with:
- Longest diameter ≥10 mm by CT (when slice thickness is ≤5 mm); or ≥ 2× slice thickness (when slice thickness is \>5 mm)
- Pathologically enlarged lymph node: ≥15 mm in short axis by CT (when slice thickness is ≤5 mm)
- Clinical: ≥10 mm (that can be accurately measured with calipers).
- Have not received anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1 or other systemic therapy for unresectable or metastatic melanoma, except for the following, provided that the patient has recovered from all treatment-related toxicities:
- BRAF mutation targeting therapy \> 4 weeks before administration of Study Treatment.
- +10 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- History of ≥ Grade 3 hypersensitivity reactions to monoclonal antibodies.
- Previous treatment with a PD-1, PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4 inhibitor, or any other agents targeting T-cell co-stimulation or immune checkpoint pathways for unresectable or metastatic melanoma.
- Recipient of solid organ transplant.
- History of a cardiovascular illness including: congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association Grade III or IV); unstable angina or myocardial infarction within the previous 6 months prior to first dose of Study Treatment; or symptomatic cardiac arrhythmia despite medical management. QT interval corrected by heart rate using QTcF \>450 ms in males or \>470 ms in females, or congenital long QT syndrome.
- Uncontrolled hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP) \>160 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) \>100 mmHg.
- Patients with new, active, or progressive brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease with except when considered for a separate special open-label cohort.
- History of hemorrhagic diarrhea, inflammatory bowel disease, active uncontrolled peptic ulcer, or bowel resection that affects absorption of orally administered drugs.
- Active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease, except for Type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism requiring only hormone replacement, or skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic therapy.
- Active uncontrolled bacterial, viral, or fungal infection requiring systemic therapy.
- Known history of testing positive for HIV, known AIDS.
- Hepatitis B surface antigen positive or hepatitis C antibody positive. Further investigation per institutional practices may be performed to exclude active infection.
- Patients with a condition requiring chronic systemic treatment with either corticosteroids (\>10 mg daily prednisone or equivalents) or other immunosuppressive medications within 14 days before administration of Study Treatment. Inhaled or topical steroids, or adrenal replacement dose of corticosteroids at dose ≤ 10 mg/day prednisone equivalent are permitted.
- Use of another investigational agent (drug or vaccine not marketed for any indication) within 28 days or before administration of Study Treatment. If the investigational agent is a monoclonal antibody then within 3 months before administration of Study Treatment
- Pregnant or breast-feeding women.
- Have a history of any other malignancy unless in remission for 2 years or locally curable cancers that have been treated with curative intent with no evidence of recurrence, such as:
