Abstract 1093TiP
Background
RP1 is an enhanced potency oncolytic HSV-1 which expresses a fusogenic glycoprotein (GALV-GP R-) and granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). Pre-clinical studies with RP1 demonstrated potent GALV-GP R-enhanced anti-tumor activity and immunogenic cell death. This phase I/II (Ph I/II) study (NCT03767348) was designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RP1 as single agent and in combination with nivolumab (nivo) in pts with advanced solid tumors, including pts whose disease failed prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy.
Trial design
This is a multi-center, first-in-human, open label, non-randomized Ph 1/2 study of RP1 alone and in combination with nivo in pts with advanced solid tumors, including those that failed prior anti-PD1/PD-L1 therapy. The Ph 1 dose escalation and expansion are fully enrolled. Approximately 260 pts are expected to be enrolled in the ongoing Ph 2 portion across five cohorts; melanoma (n=30, enrolment complete), non-melanoma skin cancer (n=45, to include 15 pts with anti-PD1/PD-L1 failed disease), MSI-H/dMMR (n=30), anti-PD1/PD-L1-failed non-small-cell lung cancer (n=30) and anti-PD1 failed cutaneous melanoma (n=125). Pts in the Ph 2 portion receive up to 10 mL of RP1 intratumorally into one or more deep/visceral and/or superficial lesions at the recommended Ph 2 dose (1x106 PFU/mL × 1 followed by 1x107 PFU/mL × 7). Following the first dose of RP1, nivo (240 mg IV Q2W for 4 months then 480 mg IV Q4W for up to 2 years) is subsequently administered in combination. Pts may receive up to 8 additional doses of RP1 if they meet protocol-specified criteria. Tumor assessments are performed Q8W. The primary objectives of the Ph 2 part of the study are to assess the safety, tolerability, and overall response rate (ORR) of RP1 in combination with nivo. Secondary objectives include duration of response, complete response rate, disease control rate, and PFS. Exploratory objectives include biodistribution and shedding analysis of RP1 and biomarker studies, including analyses of pre- and on-treatment tumor biopsies and blood samples. Enrollment is currently ongoing in the UK and US, with additional sites in the EU expected to open in 2021.
