Solid Tumor Clinical Trial in Tampa, FL

About This Solid Tumor Study in Tampa

This is a multipart, open-label, multi-center dose escalation, dose expansion phase I clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D), and preliminary efficacy of MEM-288 in patients with advanced solid tumors. Eligible subjects must have a tumor lesion(s) which is accessible for injection. The dose escalation phase (Part 1A - advanced solid tumors) has completed and is closed to enrollment. This phase evaluated multiple doses of MEM-288 dosed via intratumoral injection once every 3 weeks to assess safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, and to determine the MTD. The dose expansion phase has multiple parts for advanced NSCLC. Part 1B has completed after evaluation of MEM-288 dosed via intratumoral injection in combination with standard of care nivolumab dosed via intravenous injection. In a separate dose expansion arm (Part 1C) that is open for enrollment, patients with advanced NSCLC will be randomized to receive either an initial priming dose of MEM-288 injected into an accessible lesion (s) alone (Day 1) followed by MEM-288 in combination with standard of care docetaxel every 3 weeks up to 6 doses or MEM-288 injected into an accessible lesion(s) in combination with standard of care docetaxel therapy Day 1 and every 3 weeks up to 6 doses. The study rationale is that the oncolytic effect of MEM-288 combined with the presence of CD40L and type 1 IFN in injected tumors will provide a strong signal for DC-mediated T cell activation leading to generation of systemic anti-tumor T cell responses with broad specificity akin to what is observed in the abscopal effect.

Must have first progression more than (\>) 84 days following initiation (cycle 1 day 1) of their most recent anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor therapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy Part 1C MEM-288 plus docetaxel combination must have either:

first progression with anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor therapy with or without concurrent chemotherapy, or

progressed following initial first line anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 monotherapy followed by 2nd line platinum chemotherapy (with or without continuation of their first line anti-PD-1 or PD-L1 therapy).

Must have progressed on standard therapy, including platinum-based chemotherapy and/or checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Merkel cell Carcinoma

Must have progressed on standard checkpoint inhibitor therapy.

Subjects must have received a BRAF inhibitor as monotherapy or in combination with other targeted agents for BRAF V600E mutant melanoma.

Subjects must have received an anti-PD-1/ PD-L1inhibitor as monotherapy or combination with anti-CTLA-4 inhibitor or other therapies.

Pancreatic cancer

Progression after systemic chemotherapy which included either gemcitabine or Fluorouracil (5-FU)-based regimen (including capecitabine).

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC)

Prior treatment (for advanced, metastatic or (neo)adjuvant) must have included a taxane and/or anthracycline-based therapy.

Head and Neck Cancer

Prior treatment requirement in the metastatic or unresectable locally advanced setting include:

Subjects must have received a platinum containing chemotherapy regimen for treatment of primary tumor in locally advanced, or metastatic settings

Subjects must have received an anti-PD-1/ PD-L1 as monotherapy or in combination with chemotherapy.

Progressed following therapy with at least one PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor (regardless of PD-L1 expression status), except for patients with pancreatic cancer. a) Prior progression on a PD-1 or PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitor should be unequivocal; progression that occurs within the first 8 weeks of treatment on these agents should be confirmed with a second CT at least 4 weeks apart (to exclude pseudo-progression).

Patients with activating EGFR mutation or ALK rearrangement which is expected to be responsive to available tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy, must have been previously treated with an applicable tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

Tumor lesion which is deemed feasible for biopsy and injection under CT or ultrasound guidance (based on size, location, and visibility) by an interventional radiologist, and patient willing and able to provide tissue from biopsy of this lesion. Injected tumor should be \> 1 cm3 in volume and should not encase or be inseparable from vital structures such as major nerves or blood vessels. a) For Part 1 monotherapy patients treated at the first dose level, the tumor for injection must be an accessible cutaneous, subcutaneous, or superficial lymph node lesion that is palpable.
