RTX-321 Monotherapy in Patients With HPV 16+ Tumors

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
 
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04672980
Recruitment Status : Terminated (The Sponsor terminated study after dosing 3 dose groups (9 pts) and closed trial on 11/30/22. RTX-321 was well-tolerated with no DLTs, no related deaths, SAEs or Gr. 3/4 AEs and cleared from circulation rapidly (w/in 10 min).)

Brief Summary:
This is an open-label, multicenter, multiple-ascending dose, FIH, Phase 1 study of RTX-321 for the treatment of patients that are HLA-A*02:01 positive with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, unresectable, HPV 16+ cancers.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Cervical Cancer Head and Neck Cancer Anal Cancer Drug: RTX-321 Phase 1

Detailed Description:
This is a Phase 1, open label, multicenter, multidose, first-in-human (FIH) dose escalation and expansion to determine the safety and tolerability, recommended phase 2 dose and pharmacology, and antitumor activity of RTX-321 in adult patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, unresectable cervical cancer (squamous, adeno, or adenosquamous histology), HNSCC, or squamous cell cancer of the anal canal that is not amenable to curative therapy. Prior to study screening, all patients must be confirmed to be HLA-A*02:01 positive. Documentation of an HPV 16+ tumor is required at prescreening for patients with cervical cancer and HNSCC. RTX-321 is a cellular therapy that expresses 4-1BBL, IL-12, and HPV-16 Antigen with the goal of harnessing the innate and adaptive immune systems for the treatment of cancer. The study will include a monotherapy dose escalation phase followed by an expansion phase.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Safety Assessment by rate of Adverse Events: [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    Measured by incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)

  2. Dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) of RTX-321: [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    As determined by incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs)


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Pharmacodynamics (PD) of RTX-321: [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    As measured by the changes in number of CD8+ T-cells in peripheral blood using flow cytometry

  2. Pharmacokinetics (PK) of RTX-321: [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    As measured by the detection of the number of RTX-321 cells using flow cytometry

  3. Anti-tumor activity of RTX-321 [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    measured by duration of response (DoR)

  4. Anti-tumor activity of RTX-321 [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    Measured by overall survival (OS)

  5. Anti-tumor activity of RTX-321 [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    Measured by progression free survival (PFS)

  6. Anti-tumor activity of RTX-321 [ Time Frame: up to 30 months ]
    Measured by overall response rate (ORR)

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Signed written informed consent obtained prior to study procedures Patients ≥18 years with an ECOG 0 or 1
  • Histologically confirmed diagnosis by the local laboratory of persistent, recurrent, or metastatic, unresectable cervical cancer (squamous, adeno, or adenosquamous histology), HNSCC, or squamous cell cancer of the anal canal that is not amenable to curative therapy.
  • All patients must have experienced disease progression following platinum-based or mitomycin C-based chemotherapy administered in the persistent, recurrent, or metastatic setting.
  • All patients with programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) positive cervical cancer and those with HNSCC must have received or have been determined to be ineligible for immunotherapy with a PD-1 or PD-L1 inhibitor.
  • All patients with cervical cancer will have received or have been determined to be ineligible for bevacizumab.
  • Confirmation of HLA-A*02:01 positive status by central testing.
  • In patients with cervical cancer or HNSCC, confirmation of HPV 16 within the tumor either from historical pathology result (using an FDA-approved HPV testing method, patients with cervical cancer only) or based on central laboratory analysis of a tumor sample. Patients with anal cancer will not be required to have prospective determination of HPV 16 positive status prior to enrollment.
  • Disease must be measurable per Response Evaluation Criteria
  • The shorter of 28 days or 5 half-lives must have elapsed since the completion of prior therapy, before initiation of study treatment.
