Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Prior treatment
- Participants ineligible to be retreated with pembrolizumab due to a treatment-related AE while on a prior anti-PD(L)-1 regimen that led to discontinuation of that prior therapy and would thus prevent retreatment or with an immune-related adverse event (irAE) of grade 3 or greater
- Participants with known untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis. NOTE: Participants with previously treated brain metastases may participate provided ALL of the following apply:
- Treated CNS lesions are radiographically stable (without evidence of progression for ≥ 28 days prior to the first dose of study intervention) after intervention (eg, surgery and/or radiation).
- Neurologically stable and on stable dose of ≤ 10mg of prednisone equivalent steroids for at least 7 days prior to the first dose of study intervention.
- Any prior investigational or standard cancer therapy, with exception of PD-1/PD-L1 (includes nivolumab + Relatlimab) therapy, chemotherapy or radiation within 6-9 weeks of the first dose of the investigational therapy (see Inclusion Criteria)
- Presence of B-RAF driver mutation without prior receipt of BRAF +/- MEK inhibitors, unless patient declines BRAF +/-MEK inhibition for any reason or is unable to tolerate BRAF and/or MEK inhibitors.
- Known HBV infection defined as hepatitis B surface antigen reactive. NOTE: Participants with HBV infection on stable anti-viral therapy for \> 4 weeks prior to the planned first study intervention and viral load confirmed as undetectable during Screening may be eligible.
- Known active HCV infection defined as detectable HCV RNA (qualitative) infection. NOTE: History of HCV is not exclusionary if participant has received curative treatment and viral load is confirmed as undetectable during Screening.
Other illness
- Participants with a history of a malignant disease other than those being treated in this study. The following exceptions are permitted:
- Malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years. Shorter intervals can be considered after discussion with the Principal Investigator.
- Completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers.
- Any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has never required therapy, such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
- Participants with a known history of chronic viral infections as indicated below. If patients do not have a known history, testing is not required during the screening period to confirm the patient has an active infection.
- Glomerular filtration rate (calculated using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula) \< 30 mL/min
- Participants with a history of allogeneic tissue/solid organ transplant
Lab values
- Active HIV infection. Those with HIV infections on combination antiretroviral medications with stable CD4 count \>200/microliters as measured within screening time period. If the patient does not have a known history of HIV, then testing is not required during screening to confirm presence or absence of HIV.
- Positive serum pregnancy test
- Participants with out-of-range screening laboratory values as defined below. NOTE: Hematology evaluations must be performed \>7 days from any blood transfusion. Or blood product transfusion or from any dose of hematologic growth factor.
- Total bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN; participants with Gilbert's syndrome are excluded if total bilirubin \> 3.0 × ULN; or direct bilirubin \> 1.5 × ULN
- Albumin \< 3.0 g/dL
- Absolute lymphocyte count \< 0.5 × 10\^9/L
Other
- Participants with a diagnosis of ocular or metastatic uveal melanoma
- Completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type
Who the study is looking for
- Age ≥18 years at the time of signing informed consent form (ICF)
- Patients must have unresectable Stage III or Stage IV non-ocular melanoma per American Joint Committee on Cancer 8th Edition Staging Criteria not amenable to local therapy
- Participants must have measurable disease by RECIST v1.1 criteria as assessed by investigator/ radiology. Lesions situated in a previously irradiated area are considered measurable if progression has been shown in such lesions.
- Participants must have Eastern Cooperative Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0, 1 or 2 at screening visit.
- Life expectancy of at least 12 weeks
- Adequate bone marrow, liver, and renal function
- Hemoglobin ≥9.0 g/dL
- Platelets ≥100/mm3
- ANC ≥1.5/mm3
- Creatinine Clearance ≥ 30mL/min Cockcroft-Gault CrCl, mL/min = (140 - age) × (weight, kg) × (0.85 if female) / (72 × Cr, mg/dL).
- AST and ALT less than 3 times the Upper Limit of Normal or less than 5 times the Upper Limit of normal with liver metastases. T Bilirubin \< 3.1 mg/dL.
- Has progressed on a prior PD-1/PD-L1 treatment
- Recovered from toxicities of pembrolizumab to Grade ≤1, excluding endocrine toxicities
- Prior Receipt of PD-1/PD-L1 therapy within 9 weeks prior to the first dose of the investigational therapy.
- Women of childbearing potential must have had a negative pregnancy test performed within 7 days prior to the start of treatment
- Females of childbearing potential and males must be willing and able to use an adequate method of contraception to avoid pregnancy for the duration of the study.
- Male and female participants of childbearing potential who are sexually active with a non-sterilized partner must agree to use highly effective methods of birth control from the trial screening date until 3 months after the final dose of study intervention; cessation of birth control after this point shall be discussed with a responsible physician.
- Pregnant or lactating women are prohibited from enrolling in this study.
- Male participants are not allowed to donate sperm from the time of enrollment until 6 months after administration of study interventions.
