Phase I/II Randomized Study of NBTXR3 Activated by Abscopal or RadScopal Radiation in Combination With Immunotherapy (Anti-PD-1/L-1) for Patients With Advanced Solid Malignancies

Primary Objective

Phase I & II

• To evaluate efficacy and safety of NBTXR3 activated by radiation (Abscopal or RadScopal™) in combination with immunotherapy ( anti-PD-1/L-1)

Secondary Objective:

• To evaluate the safety profile of NBTXR3 activated by radiation (Abscopal or RadScopal™) in combination with immunotherapy ( anti-PD-1/L-1).
• To evaluate time-to-event outcomes of NBTXR3 activated by radiation (Abscopal or RadScopal™) in combination with immunotherapy ( anti-PD-1/L-1).

Exploratory Objectives:

I. To evaluate radiomic measurements with outcomes of study treatments.

II. To evaluate biomarkers of response in subjects after receiving study treatment.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I: Patients receive NBTXR3 intratumorally on day 1. Patients also receive ( anti-PD-1/L-1) intravenously (IV) on day 8. Beginning day 15, patients undergo Abscopal radiation therapy over 1-2 weeks. Cycles with ( anti-PD-1/L-1) repeat every 3-6 weeks per standard of care up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

COHORT II: Patients receive NBTXR3 intratumorally on day 1. Patients also receive ( anti-PD-1/L-1) IV on day 8. Beginning day 15, patients undergo RadScopal radiation therapy over 1-2 weeks. Cycles with ( anti-PD-1/L-1)repeat every 3-6 weeks per standard of care up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 12 weeks for up to 2 years post-radiation therapy.

a. Intratumoral NBTXR3 injections only allowed in lung or liver lesions.

• Selected high and low dose target lesions must be amenable to receive radiation therapy as determined by the investigator or treating radiation oncologist.

• Allowed high dose RT regimens are 50 Gy in 4 fractions or 60 Gy in 10 fractions
• Allowed low dose RT for RadScopal™ cohort is 1.4 Gy per fraction for 4 - 5 fractions to only low dose-target lesion(s) determined by the investigator or treating physician.
• Patients can receive radiation therapy for symptomatic metastatic disease prior to enrollment or during the study a.

• AST / ALT ≤ 2.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) or ≤ 3 x ULN for patients with liver metastases
• For participants to be treated for lung metastases, adequate lung function with expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥ 0.8L or ≥ 35% predicted and carbon monoxide diffusing capability (DLCO) ≥ 40% with or without bronchodilator within 30 days prior to NBTXR3 injection. Participants to be treated for liver metastasis a pulmonary function test is not required.
• Patients who meet the criterion above without oxygen (02), but need acute (started within 7 ± 3 days) supplemental oxygen due to tumor-caused obstruction/hypoxia are eligible, provided the amount of the O2 needed has been stable.
• Negative urine or serum pregnancy test ≤ 7 days prior to NBTXR3 injection in all women of child-bearing potential (WOCBP). WOCBP must agree to follow instructions for method(s) of contraception for the duration the entire study period and 160 days (~5.33 months) after the last dose of anti-PD-1/L-1 treatment. Local laws and regulations may require use of alternative and/or additional contraception methods. WOCBP who are continuously not heterosexually active are exempt from contraceptive requirements but should still undergo pregnancy testing.
• Signed informed consent form (ICF) indicating that participant understands the purpose of, and procedures required for, the study and is willing to participate in the study.

4.2 Exclusion criteria:

• Symptomatic central nervous system metastases and/or carcinomatous meningitis

a.
