The progress posters of the two trials will summarize the study designs for Adaptimmune's ongoing MAGE-A4 multi-tumor study in urothelial (bladder), melanoma, head and neck, ovarian, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), esophageal, and gastric cancers; and, the combination study with NY-ESO and NY-ESO and KEYTRUDA® (pembrolizumab) in multiple myeloma.
Outline of Study Design for MAGE-A4 SPEAR T-cells
The MAGE-A4 SPEAR T-cells clinical trial is an open-label, non-randomized pilot study that evaluates the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of MAGE-A4 SPEAR T-cells in patients with HLA-A*02 and MAGE-A4 positive inoperable locally advanced or metastatic tumor(s). The dosage escalation study uses a modified 3+3 design wherein there will be three groups of patients. In Group 1 there will be 3 to 6 patients who will be treated using a dose of 100 million transduced SPEAR T-cells and will have a 21-day interval for safety review. The Group 2 will have 3 to 6 patients who will be treated using a dose of 1 billion transduced SPEAR T-cells, 7-day interval for safety review and the third Group 3 will also have 3 to 6 patients who will be treated using a dose of 1-5 billion transduced SPEAR T-cells, 7-day interval for safety review.
The patient candidates in the clinical trial must be over 18 years, have HLA-A*02 positive, have MAGE-A4 positive inoperable locally advanced or metastatic tumor(s) at >=1+ intensity in >= 10% of tumor cells MAGE-A4 expression by immunohistochemistry (IHC), have ECOG status 0 or 1 and adequate organ function. They would follow the Lymphodepletion regimen wherein they will be given fludarabine (30 mg/m2/day) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2/day) for 3 days.
The efficacy of the trial will be assessed by overall response rate, time to response, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival at weeks 4, 8, and 12, month 6, and then every 3 months until confirmation of disease progression. The study is open and ongoing.
Outline of Study Design for NY ESO SPEAR T-cells with or without KEYTRUDA® in multiple myeloma
This trial is an open-label, randomized pilot study which will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and antitumor activity of NY-ESO SPEAR T-cells with or without KEYTRUDA® in patients with multiple myeloma. Patients who are eligible for this study would be randomly assigned either of the two treatment groups - NY-ESO SPEAR T-cells alone (Arm 1) or NY-ESO-1 SPEAR T-cells in combination with KEYTRUDA® (Arm 2). The clinical study will have total 20 patients and each group is expected to have 10 patients. Those eligible patients who do not receive the T-cell infusion may be replaced.
The patient candidates in the clinical trial must be over 18 years, HLA-A*02:01, *02:05, or *02:06 positive, have histologically confirmed diagnosis of multiple myeloma with either primary refractory or relapsed/refractory disease expressing NY-ESO-1 and/or LAGE-1a, they should have received prior therapies including IMiD and a proteasome inhibitor as separate lines or a combined line of therapy; have ECOG status 0 or 1; and adequate organ function. The patients would be following the Lymphodepletion regimen fludarabine (30 mg/m2/day) and cyclophosphamide (600 mg/m2/day) for 3 days, followed by granulocyte-colony stimulating factor. For patients in Arm 2, KEYTRUDA® will be administered every 3 weeks, starting at week 3 following T-cell infusion until week 108. The target dosage is dose of 1 - 8 × 109 transduced SPEAR T-cells. The efficacy of the trial will be assessed by the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) Uniform Response Criteria. Overall response rate, time to response, duration of response, progression-free survival, and overall survival will be determined. The study is open and enrolling.
