Angiosarcoma Clinical Trial in San Francisco, CA

About This Angiosarcoma Study in San Francisco

This is a multicenter, open-label study of Intratumoral Vusolimogene Oderparepvec (VO) to investigate safety and estimate when used in combination with pembrolizumab for treating participants with angiosarcoma. This is the first study evaluating this novel combination in participants with advanced angiosarcoma who have progressed after prior immunotherapy.

Sponsor: Varun Monga, MBBS

Participants must have received and progressed following first-line standard of care, including a taxane or anthracycline based chemotherapy regimen.

Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \<= 3.0 × ULN (or \<= 5.0 × ULN, if liver metastases) Note: If aminotransferase levels (AST and/or ALT) are \> 3 × ULN but \<= 5 × ULN, total bilirubin must be \<= 1.5 × ULN.

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) \<= 2.5 × ULN (or \<= 5.0 × ULN, if liver or bone metastases)

Blood creatinine \<= 1.5 × ULN or measured or calculated (using Cockcroft) creatinine clearance \>= 30 mL/minute for participants with creatinine levels \> 1.5 × institutional ULN.

Note: For participants who are on chronic anticoagulant therapy these participants may be enrolled if the pretreatment INR \< 2.5.

Adequate oxygen saturation: \>=92% on room air.

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document.

Participants with a history of treated brain metastasis and, at the time of screening, asymptomatic CNS metastases are eligible, provided they meet all the following:

Brain imaging at screening shows no evidence of interim progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging, and clinically stable for at least 2 weeks

Have measurable disease outside the central nervous system (CNS)

Only supratentorial metastases allowed

No ongoing requirement for corticosteroids as therapy for CNS disease; anticonvulsants at a stable dose allowed

No stereotactic or whole brain radiation within 14 days prior to C1D1.

Individuals with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial.

Exclusion Criteria

Prior treatment with an oncolytic therapy.

Currently receiving antiviral drug therapy (e.g. valacyclovir or acyclovir).

Has acute or chronic active hepatitis B and C virus infection or known history of hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or known active hepatitis C virus (HCV) (defined as HCV RNA \[qualitative\]) or HIV infection.Note: No testing for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, or HIV is required unless mandated by local health authority or if clinically indicated.

Had systemic infection requiring IV antibiotics or other serious infection within 14 days prior to dosing.

Has active significant herpetic infections or prior complications of herpes simplex 1 (HSV-1) infection (e.g., herpetic keratitis or encephalitis).

Systemic anticancer therapy within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or five half-lives, whichever is shorter, before the first administration of VO. Note: programmed cell death protein 1 (PD1)/programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) directed therapy is allowed.

Has not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy to \<= grade 1 or baseline. Note: participants with toxicities after prior anticancer therapies that are not considered a likely safety risk such as Grade ≤ 2 neuropathy or alopecia, or immune mediated AEs that are unlikely to recur with standard countermeasures (e.g., hormone replacement after adrenal crisis, stable endocrine insufficiencies such as thyroid and adrenal insufficiency), are an exception to this criterion and may qualify for the study in discussion with the Principal Investigator.

Is currently participating in or has participated in a study of an investigational agent or has used an investigational device within four weeks prior to the first dose of study treatment. Note: participants who have entered the follow-up phase of an investigational study may participate as long as it has been four weeks since the last dose of the previous investigational agent.

Has received prior radiotherapy within two weeks of start of study treatment. Note: participants who are eligible must have recovered from all radiation-related toxicities, not require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (\<=2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-CNS disease.

History of interstitial lung disease.

History of documented allergic reactions or acute hypersensitivity attributed to VO and pembrolizumab or any of its excipients.

Has received a live vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. Note: Seasonal influenza vaccines for injection are generally killed virus vaccines and are allowed, however, intranasal influenza vaccines (e.g., FluMist®) are live attenuated vaccines and are not allowed. Available Coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines do not contain live virus and are allowed.

Conditions requiring treatment with immunosuppressive doses (\> 10 mg daily prednisone or equivalent) of systemic corticosteroids other than for corticosteroid replacement therapy within 14 days after enrollment. For the definition of replacement therapy.

Undergo major surgery ≤ 2 weeks prior to starting VO. Note: participants who undergo major surgery requiring general anesthesia such as exploratory laparotomy or thoracotomy and are eligible for the study must adequately recover prior to starting study treatment. Procedures such as central line placement, endoscopies and tooth extractions under local anesthesia do not meet criteria for major surgery.

Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required corticosteroids or has current pneumonitis.

Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that will be unfavorable for the administration of study drug or affect the explanation of drug toxicity or AEs, or interfere with the participant's participation for the full duration of the study, or is not in the best interest of the participant to participate, in the opinion of the treating Investigator.

Has known psychiatric, alcohol abuse, or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperating with the requirements of the study.

Has serious uncontrolled medical disorders such as uncontrolled hypertension, bleeding diatheses, uncontrolled diabetes.

Has clinically significant cardiovascular disease within 12 months from first dose of study drug, including New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cerebral vascular accident, history of myocarditis, or cardiac arrhythmia associated with hemodynamic instability.

Is a person deprived of their liberty by a judicial or administrative decision, or an adult person subject to a legal protection measure.

Has been treated with botanical preparations (e.g., herbal supplements or traditional Chinese medicines) intended for general health support or to treat the disease under study within 2 weeks prior to first dose and throughout the study.

Has an active, known, or suspected autoimmune disease. Note: participants with Type I diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism only requiring hormone replacement, skin disorders (such as vitiligo, psoriasis, or alopecia) not requiring systemic treatment, or conditions not expected to recur in the absence of an external trigger are permitted to enroll.

Has a history of life-threatening toxicity related to prior immune therapy. Note: Toxicities that are unlikely to recur with standard countermeasures (e.g., hormone replacement after adrenal crisis) are allowed.
