The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 24 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • Male or female patients ≥ 18 years of age
  • Signed informed consent and mental capability to understand the informed consent
  • Histologically or cytologically documented NSCLC or RCC with radiographically documented presence of ≤ 6 metastatic lesions consistent with the diagnosis of "oligometastatic" disease
  • Patient's disease must be evaluable per RECIST Version 1.1
  • All metastatic lesions amenable to administration of radiotherapy, at the discretion of the investigator
  • Must have at least one single pre-defined lesion/lesion site (longest diameter ≥ 10 mm and ≤ 50 mm) suitable for intra-tumoral injection
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 1
  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) without evidence of clinically significant conduction abnormalities or active ischemia as determined by the investigator
  • Acceptable organ and marrow function as defined below:; Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1,500 cells/μL; Platelets > 50,000 cells/μL; Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times (×) the upper limit of normal (ULN); Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5 × ULN. If liver metastases are present, AST/ALT < 5 × ULN; Serum creatinine < 1.5 mg/dL and a measured creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula; Prothrombin time (PT)/partial thromboplastin time (PTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN
  • Women of child-bearing potential (defined as a female who has experienced menarche and who has not undergone successful surgical sterilization [hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy]) or is not postmenopausal (defined as amenorrhea for at least 12 consecutive months with an appropriate clinical profile at the appropriate age, eg, greater than 45 years) must have a negative serum pregnancy test prior to first dose of study treatment
  • Male and female patients with reproductive potential must agree to use two forms of highly effective contraception throughout the study

Who cannot take part

  • Prior receipt of stimulator of interferon genes (STING) agonist
  • Prior receipt of therapeutic radiotherapy to the lesions intended for PULSAR treatment
  • Existence of primary tumor that requires therapeutic treatment beyond the provided immune checkpoint inhibitor drug
  • Failure to recover, to Grade 1 or less, from clinically significant AEs due to prior anti-cancer therapy, as judged by the investigator
  • Previous life-threatening (Grade 4) immune-related adverse event (irAE)
  • Existence of actionable mutations that may be eligible for mutation-targeted drug that represents standard-of-care therapy
  • Prior disease progression through programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1 or PD-1)-targeted immunotherapy
  • Anti-cancer therapy, except pembrolizumab and nivolumab, within 4 weeks or < 5 half-lives of the first dose of study treatment
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness (including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations) that in the opinion of the investigator would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Baseline prolongation of QT/corrected QT (QTc) interval (QTc interval > 470)
  • Sponsor reserves the right to exclude any patient from the study on the basis of pre-study medical histories, physical examination findings, clinical laboratory results, prior medications, or other entrance criteria
  • Presence of brain metastases
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
