ADP-A2M4CD8 as Monotherapy or in Combination With Either Nivolumab or Pembrolizumab in HLA-A2+ Subjects With MAGE-A4 Positive Tumors (SURPASS)

This study will investigate the safety and tolerability of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cell therapy in subjects who have the appropriate human leukocyte antigen (HLA) and MAGE-A4 tumor antigen. Tumor indications include endometrial, esophageal, esophagogastric junction (EGJ), gastric, head and neck, melanoma, non-small cell lung (NSCLC), ovarian or urothelial cancer.

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

  • Key Inclusion criteria
  • Age ≥18 and ≤ 75 years
  • Subject is positive for at least 1 HLA-A*02 inclusion allele
  • Histologically or cytogenetically confirmed diagnosis of urothelial cancer, esophageal, esophagogastric junction (EGJ) cancer, gastric cancer, non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), head and neck or ovarian cancer, endometrial cancer, melanoma
  • Measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 prior to leukapheresis and lymphodepletion.
  • Tumor shows MAGE-A4 expression as confirmed by central laboratory
  • ECOG Performance Status of 0 or 1.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% or the institutional lower limit of normal range, whichever is lower Note: other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
  • Subjects must have ≥ 90% room air oxygen saturation at rest at Screening (within 7 days of leukapheresis) and at Baseline.

Key exclusion criteria

  • Positive for any HLA-A*02 allele other than: one of the inclusion alleles
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to fludarabine, cyclophosphamide or other agents used in the study
  • Active autoimmune or immune mediated disease
  • Leptomeningeal disease, carcinomatous meningitis or symptomatic CNS metastases
  • Other prior malignancy that is not considered by the Investigator to be in complete remission. Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness
  • Active infection with human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus, or human T cell leukemia virus
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding

Note: other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Treatment and study plan

Autologous genetically modified ADP-A2M4CD8 cells alone or in combination with nivolumab every four weeks or pembrolizumab every 6 weeks

Genetic

Infusion of autologous genetically modified ADP-A2M4CD8 on Day 1 alone or in combination with either nivolumab 480 mg IV every four weeks or pembrolizumab 400mg IV every 6 weeks

Primary outcomes

  1. To evaluate safety and tolerability of ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    Determination of incidence of dose-limiting toxicities, adverse events and tolerable dose

  2. To evaluate safety of ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab

    Time frame: Up to 15 years

    Incidence of patients with Replication-competent Retrovirus, persistence of ADP-A2M4CD8 T-cells and incidence of insertional oncogenesis.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Anti-tumour activity: Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    ORR is defined as incidence of complete responses or partial responses as assessed by RECIST v1.1

  2. Anti-tumor activity: Best overall response (BOR)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    BOR is per RECIST V1.1.

  3. Time to response (TTR)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    For patients who are observed to respond to ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab, the time taken to achieve a partial response or complete response (TTR) is assessed.

  4. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    For patients who are observed to respond to ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab, the DOR is the date of first response (including confirmation) up until disease progression per RECIST v 1.1 or death

  5. Duration of stable disease (DoSD)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    For patients who are observed to have stable disease by RECIST v 1.1, the duration of period of stable disease until disease progression or death

  6. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: 2.5 years

    PFS is assessed from date of infusion of ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab up until the date of disease progression per RECIST v1.1 or death.

  7. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: 15 years

    OS is assessed from date of infusion of ADP-A2M4CD8 as monotherapy or in combination with either nivolumab or pembrolizumab up until the date of patient death.
