IO102-IO103 in Combination With Pembrolizumab as First-line Treatment for Patients With Metastatic NSCLC, SCCHN, or mUBC

Prior treatment

• Has received prior therapy with an anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, or anti-PD-L2 agent or with an agent directed to another stimulatory or co-inhibitory T-cell receptor (eg, CTLA-4, OX 40, CD137) other than for adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment AND was discontinued from that treatment due to a Grade 3 or higher immune-related AE (irAE).
• Has received prior systemic anti-cancer therapy in the first line setting for the participant's metastatic disease (treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation as part of neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy is allowed as long as completed at least 6 months prior to diagnosis of metastatic disease).
• Participants must have recovered from all AEs due to previous therapies to ≤Grade 1 or baseline. Participants with ≤Grade 2 neuropathy are eligible.
• Has received prior radiotherapy to the lung \>30 Gy within 6 months of start of trial treatment and have recovered from all radiation-related adverse events, not have require corticosteroids, and not have had radiation pneumonitis. A 1-week washout is permitted for palliative radiation (≤2 weeks of radiotherapy) to non-central nervous system (CNS) disease.
• Have received a live or live attenuated vaccine within 30 days prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Examples of live vaccines include, but are not limited to, the following: measles, mumps, rubella, varicella/zoster (chicken pox), yellow fever, rabies, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and typhoid vaccine. 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.
• Participation in or has participated in a trial of an investigational agent within 30 days prior to study entry or has used an investigational device within 6 months prior to the first dose of trial treatment. Note: Participants who have entered the follow-up phase of an investigational trial may participate as long as it has been 6 months after the last dose of the previous investigational agent.
• Has a diagnosis of immunodeficiency10. Received any of the following medications or procedures within 2 weeks prior to time of treatment initiation: Systemic or topical corticosteroids at immunosuppressive doses \> 10 mg/day of hydrocortisone or \> 5mg/day of prednisone equivalent.
• Has known active CNS metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided they are radiologically stable, i.e., without evidence of progression for at least 4 weeks by repeat imaging (note that the repeat imaging should be performed during trial screening), clinically stable and without requirement of steroid treatment for at least 14 days prior to first dose of trial treatment.
• Has had an allogenic tissue/solid organ transplant.

Other illness

• Have a life expectancy of \< 3 months and/or rapidly progressing disease.
• Has a known additional malignancy that is progressing or has required active treatment within the past 2 years.
  • Note: Participants with basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin or carcinoma in situ (e.g., breast carcinoma, cervical cancer in situ) that have undergone potentially curative therapy are not excluded.
• Has severe hypersensitivity (≥Grade 3) to IO102 or IO103, pembrolizumab and/or any of their excipients.
• Has an active autoimmune disease that has required systemic treatment in past 2 years (i.e., with use of disease modifying agents, corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs). Replacement therapy (e.g., thyroxine, insulin, or physiologic corticosteroid replacement therapy for adrenal or pituitary insufficiency) is not considered a form of systemic treatment and is allowed.
• Has a history of (non-infectious) pneumonitis that required steroids or has current pneumonitis.
• Has an active infection requiring systemic therapy.
• Has a known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. No HIV testing is required unless mandated by local health authority.
• Has a known history of Hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] reactive) or known active Hepatitis C virus (HCV) (defined as HCV ribonucleic acid \[RNA\] \[qualitative\] is detected) infection.
• Has known psychiatric or substance abuse disorders that would interfere with cooperating with the requirements of the trial.
• Has progressive disease (PD) within six months of completion of curatively intended systemic treatment for locoregionally advanced SCCHN.

Lab values

• A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (e.g., within 72 hours) prior to treatment. If at any time, a urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required.
• Known adrenal insufficiency function (that is basal cortisol level \< 140nmol/L or \< 5 μg/dL).
• Has a history or current evidence of any condition, therapy, or laboratory abnormality that might confound the results of the trial, interfere with the patient's participation for the full duration of the trial, or is not in the best interest of the patient to participate, in the opinion of the treating investigator.
