ATL001 in Patients With Metastatic or Recurrent Melanoma
About the study
This is a first-in-human, open-label, multi-centre, phase I/IIa study to characterize the safety and clinical activity of ATL001, autologous clonal neoantigen reactive T cells (cNeT) administered intravenously in adults with metastatic or recurrent melanoma.
Who can take part
You may be eligible to participate in the study if you meet the following criteria:
INCLUSION CRITERIA
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient must be at least 18 years old at the screening visit.
- Patient must have given written informed consent to participate in the study.
- Patients must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of melanoma.
- Patients must have received a PD-1/ PD-L1 inhibitor prior to treatment with ATL001 (unless contraindicated).
- Patients whose tumour is known to have a BRAF V600 mutation must have received BRAF targeted therapy (as well as a PD- 1/PD-L1 inhibitor unless contraindicated) prior to treatment with ATL001.
- Patient is considered medically fit enough to undergo all study procedures and interventions: procedures to procure blood and tumour tissue, including a general anaesthetic if required, and to receive fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and IL-2 at protocol doses and schedules.
- Patient is considered, in the opinion of the Investigator, capable of adhering to the protocol.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0-1.
- Adequate organ function per the laboratory parameters defined in the protocol.
- Female patients who are of childbearing potential must agree to use a highly effective method of contraception during the study for at least 12 months after the ATL001 infusion. Non-sterilised male participants who intend to be sexually active with a female partner of childbearing potential must use an acceptable method of contraception from the time of screening, throughout the duration of the study and for at least 6 months after the ATL001 infusion.
- Anticipated life expectancy ≥ 6 months at the time of tissue procurement.
- Patient must have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1
Additional Inclusion criteria will apply as per the protocol.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with known leptomeningeal or CNS metastases at the time of screening.
- Patients with ocular, acral or mucosal melanoma.
- Patients with active infectious disease.
- Patients with active, known, or suspected, autoimmune disease requiring immunosuppressive treatments.
- Patients requiring regular treatment with steroids at a dose higher than prednisolone 10mg/day (or equivalent).
- Patients with a current or recent history, as determined by the Investigator, of clinically significant, progressive, and/or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, haematological, endocrine, pulmonary, cardiac, gastroenterological or neurological disease.
- Patients with a history of immune mediated central nervous system toxicity that was caused by, or suspected to be caused by, immunotherapy.
- Patients with a history of ≥ Grade 2 diarrhoea/colitis caused by previous immunotherapy within 6 months of screening. Patients that have been asymptomatic for at least 6 months or have had a normal colonoscopy post-immunotherapy (with uninflamed mucosa by visual assessment) are not excluded.
- Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Patients who have undergone major surgery in the previous 3 weeks.
- Patients with an active concurrent cancer or a history of cancer within the past 3 years (except for in situ carcinomas, early prostate cancer with normal Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) or non-melanomatous skin cancers).
- Patients with a history of organ transplantation.
- Patients who have previously received any investigational cell or gene therapies.
- Patients with contraindications for cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and IL-2 at per protocol doses (see Investigator's Brochure for details).
- Patients with a known history of allergic reactions to amphotericin b, penicillin and/or streptomycin.
Additional Exclusion criteria will apply as per the protocol.
