Study summary

This study was a mixed phase Ib/II, multi-center, open-label study of tebentafusp (IMCgp100) as a single agent, and in combination with durvalumab and/or tremelimumab, in metastatic cutaneous melanoma. The purpose of this study is to characterize the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics, and to evaluate the anti-tumor activity of tebentafusp (IMCgp100) in combination with durvalumab (MEDI4736, programmed death-ligand 1 [PD-L1] inhibitor), tremelimumab (CLTA-4 inhibitor), and the combination of durvalumab with tremelimumab compared to single-agent tebentafusp (IMCgp100) alone administered as an intravenous or subcutaneous. The study will enroll patients who have metastatic melanoma that is refractory to treatment with an anti-PD-1 inhibitor in the metastatic setting. This study will also evaluate the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of tebentafusp (IMCgp100) monotherapy in patients with advanced non-uveal melanoma who progressed on prior PD-1 inhibitors approved for the treatment of advanced melanoma; patients with BRAF mutations must be refractory to approved BRAF-based therapy.

Read the detailed description

As of Amendment 9, a potential phase 2 portion of the study was to be opened after identification of the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for Arm 5 (tebentafusp sc monotherapy). However, the phase 2 portion of the study was never initiated.

Patients with melanoma of unknown primary are acceptable for Phase 1b escalation cohorts (Arms 1 to 5) but are excluded in Phase 2. NOTE: Patients with the diagnosis of UM are excluded from all cohorts
  4. Phase 1b (Arm 4 and Arm 5) and Phase 2: Patients with disease progression following initiation of treatment with an approved PD-(L)1 inhibitor. Patients with BRAF mutations should be refractory to approved BRAF-inhibitor if clinically feasible. CTLA 4 inhibition therapy is acceptable as a prior line of therapy or in combination with anti-PD-(L)1 therapy. For Phase 2, no prior chemotherapy in the advanced setting is permitted
  5. Phase 1b Arms 1-3: no restriction on prior therapy
  6. HLA-A*02:01 positive by central assay or by an 510K approved assay run in CLIA-certified laboratory
  7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 or 1
  8. Life expectancy of at least 3 months
  9. Phase 2 cohorts only: Patients must have measurable disease according to RECIST v1.1 criteria. Patients enrolled in Phase 1b cohorts may have either measurable or only non-measurable disease (ie, non-target lesion only)
  10. Phase 1b (Arm 4) and Phase 2 cohorts only: Patients must have a site of disease amenable to biopsy (ie, must not also be a target lesion OR if a target lesion must be > 2cm), and be a candidate for tumor biopsy according to the treating institution's guidelines. NOTE: Phase 1b Arms 1-3 and 5 patients are not required to have disease accessible to biopsy
  11. For Arms 1-3 only (ie, applies only to patients assigned to receive tebentafusp in combination with checkpoint inhibitor[s]): Those receiving prior immunotherapy must meet all the following conditions:

    1. Must not have experienced an immune-related adverse event (irAE) where the irAE was the reason for permanent discontinuation of prior immunotherapy in the most recent prior treatment regimen
    2. All irAEs while receiving prior immunotherapy must have resolved to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline prior to screening for this study. Must not have experienced a ≥ Grade 3 immune-related AE within the past 16 weeks or any Grade 4 life-threatening irAE (regardless of duration) or neurologic or ocular AE of any grade while receiving prior immunotherapy. (NOTE: Patients with endocrine AE of any grade are permitted to enroll if they are stably maintained on appropriate replacement therapy, but must have no history of adrenal crisis and be asymptomatic)
    3. Patients currently receiving chronic corticosteroid treatment (longer than 8 weeks duration) for management of pre-existing AEs, or patients with a history of chronic corticosteroid treatment longer than 8 weeks duration for AEs within 6 months of screening are excluded

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of untreated or symptomatic central nervous system (CNS) metastases, leptomeningeal disease, or cord compression.
  2. History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to study medications
  3. History of treatment-related interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis
  4. Impaired baseline organ function as evaluated by out-of-range laboratory values.

  6. Active autoimmune disease or a documented history of autoimmune disease
  7. Recent (\< 12 months of planned first dose of study treatment) active diverticulitis (Phase 1b combination arms)

Exceptions to this exclusion include the following: malignancies that were treated curatively and have not recurred within 2 years after completion of treatment; completely resected basal cell and squamous cell skin cancers; any malignancy considered to be indolent and that has never required therapy; and completely resected carcinoma in situ of any type
  12. Any medical condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, prevent the patient's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns, compliance with clinical study procedures or interpretation of study results
  13. Systemic anti-cancer therapy within 2 weeks of the planned first dose of study treatment. For cytotoxic agents that have major delayed toxicity and any prior immunotherapy approach, 3 weeks is indicated as washout period

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jul 24, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
