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
