Study summary

The goal of this study is determine the safety and tolerability of orally taken probiotic (R-5780) in patients currently on a PD-1 Pathway Checkpoint Inhibitor (checkpoint protein on immune cells called T cells) with Solid Tumors.

Read the detailed description

Patients will take an oral dosage of probiotic (R-5780 and provide patient reported overall feeling and physician scored measure of their tumors. Blood and fecal evaluations of inflammation and assessment of probiotic (R-5780) on fecal levels will also be measured.

Inclusion criteria

  • At least 18 years of age to 80
  • Ability to provide written
  • Unresectable stage III or stage IV melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, or squamous cell carcinoma as per the American Joint Committee on Cancer 2017 Guidelines (8th Edition) regardless of BRAF mutation status and other solid tumors.
  • to anti-PD (checkpoint Protein on Immune Cells called T cells)-1/L1 therapy per v1.1 defined as subject who has disease progression after receiving at least two complete cycles of ICI () therapy or disease progression 6 months from initiation of ICI (immune checkpoint inhibitors) therapy while still on active therapy.
  • of greater than 3 months
  • (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
  • Subjects must have evaluable disease by CT (computer tomography) or MRI (magnet resonance imaging) per RECIST 1.1 criteria or clinically apparent disease that the investigator can follow for response.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any serious medical condition or laboratory abnormality or psychiatric condition or any other significant or unstable concurrent medical illness (in the opinion of the Investigator) would preclude protocol adherence or would make the safety of the study drug difficult to assess
  • Treatment with systemic broad-spectrum antibiotics.
  • No active viral infections.
  • Coexisting severe chronic diseases other than cancer (autoimmunity, inflammatory diseases)
  • Secondary gastrointestinal motility disorders
  • History of solid organ transplant or bone marrow transplant
  • Prior CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor) or allogeneic cellular therapy
  • Ongoing systemic therapy, with the exclusion of prednisone (10 mg/day)
  • Concurrent therapy with any other agent, vaccine, or device
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to conceive or father a child during the trial period
  • Subjects with untreated . Treated brain metastasis are permitted if stable
  • More than 4 prior systemic therapies
  • Other cancer medications during treatment period are not permitted
  • Enrollment in other clinical trials.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of adverse events and their relationship to R-5780 (probiotic) administration

    To assess the number of participants with treatment-related adverse events after taking R-5780 (probiotic)

    Time frame: Baseline through Week 4

Secondary outcomes

  1. Scale (QOLS)

    Collect how the patient is feeling on each study visit on the Quality of Life Scale of 30 questions. The Quality of Life scores are summed so that a higher score indicates higher quality of life.

    Time frame: Baseline through End of Study Day 112
