Study summary

This phase II trial studies how well brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) works in treating patients with preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) positive synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) or that cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable). Brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) is in a new class of immunotherapy called immune mobilizing monoclonal T-cell receptors against cancer (ImmTAC). Brenetafusp (IMC-F106C), may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine the efficacy, as defined by overall response rate (ORR), of anti-PRAME T-cell receptor/anti-CD3 scFv fusion protein IMC-F106C (brenetafusp [IMC-F106C]) in patients with preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) positive synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To estimate progression free survival (PFS) at 3 months, 12 months, and median PFS in patients with PRAME positive synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma.

II. To assess PRAME expression by ribonucleic acid sequencing (RNAseq) at baseline and correlate PRAME expression with response to brenetafusp (IMC-F106C).

III. To correlate PFS and disease control rate (DCR) with changes in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) (ctDNA).

IV. To determine the efficacy, as defined by ORR, of brenetafusp in the intention to treat population.

V. To estimate the PFS at 3 months, 12 months, and the median PFS in the intention to treat population.

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To identify biomarkers associated with response to brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) in patients with PRAME positive synovial sarcoma and myxoid/round cell liposarcoma.

II. To detect the pathogenic fusion protein in circulating blood and to correlate changes in circulating tumor DNA with response.

III. To correlate DCR with tumor reduction.

OUTLINE:

Patients receive brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) intravenously (IV) over 15-60 minutes on days 1, 8, and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 21 days for up to 2 years in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also undergo computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) throughout the study as well as biopsy and blood sample collection on study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed for up to 30 days.

  • Patients must be HLA-A*02:01 positive. If HLA-A*02:01 status is already known (from standard of care testing in a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act [CLIA]-certified laboratory, e.g., in synovial sarcoma), then results from the patient record should be submitted. For patients with unknown HLA-A*02:01 status, pre-enrollment blood should be submitted for testing through the American National Red Cross Histocompatibility Laboratory Services - Philadelphia for testing

  • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
  • For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated
  • Patients with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
  • Patients with treated brain metastases are eligible if:

    • Follow-up brain imaging after central nervous system (CNS)-directed therapy shows no evidence of progression.
    • Treated CNS lesions are asymptomatic and radiographically stable for ≥ 2 weeks after intervention (surgery and/or radiation)
    • Participants are neurologically stable off systemic corticosteroids for at least 2 weeks prior to enrollment
  • Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
  • Patients with known history or current symptoms of cardiac disease, or history of treatment with cardiotoxic agents, should have a clinical risk assessment of cardiac function using the New York Heart Association Functional Classification. To be eligible for this trial, patients should be class II or better
  • The effects of brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason and because ImmTAC agents are known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and their partners must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry, during study treatment, and for 5 months after the last dose of brenetafusp (IMC-F106C). Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately. Women should not breastfeed while taking brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) and for 5 months after completion of treatment. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of study participation, and 5 months after completion of brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) administration
  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Legally authorized representatives may sign and give informed consent on behalf of study participants

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who received prior treatment with an agent targeting PRAME
  • Patients who have not recovered from adverse events due to prior anti-cancer therapy (i.e., have residual toxicities > grade 1) with the exception of alopecia
  • Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents
  • History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to brenetafusp (IMC-F106C)
  • Patients with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or any other significant condition(s) that would make participation in this protocol unreasonably hazardous
  • Pregnant women are excluded from this study because brenetafusp (IMC-F106C) is an ImmTAC agent with the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with brenetafusp (IMC-F106C), breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with brenetafusp (IMC-F106C)
  • Patients with new or progressive brain metastases (active brain metastases) or leptomeningeal disease will not be eligible for either the synovial sarcoma or myxoid liposarcoma cohorts
  • Patients who have received prior T-cell receptor T-cell (TCR-T) therapy (including prior treatment with Afamitresgene autoleucel)

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate

    Assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) version (v) 1.1 criteria. The time interval for best response evaluation is within the first 6 cycles (after the third response assessment on study), with confirmation of response allowed within 8 cycles (2 cycles after initial response). Each disease cohort will be considered separately. Will use a two-stage Minimax design.

    Time frame: Up to 8 cycles (Cycle length = 21 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Will be calculated using a Kaplan-Meier estimator. Will report the point estimates at specified timepoints (3 months, 6 months, 12 months) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval. Will also report the median PFS.

    Time frame: From study initiation to first evidence of disease progression or death, assessed at 3, 6, and 12 months

  2. Overall survival (OS)

    Will be calculated using a Kaplan-Meier estimator. Will report the point estimates at specified timepoints (3 months, 6 months, 12 months) and the corresponding 95% confidence interval. Will also report the median OS with the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (if evaluable).

    Time frame: At 3, 6, and 12 months

  3. Preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME) expression

    PRAME expression in tumor will first be measured by transcriptomic (ribonucleic acid) assessment and immunohistochemistry and then will be correlated with response to treatment. Analysis will be primarily descriptive.

    Time frame: At baseline and end of treatment

  4. Changes in circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid (ctDNA)

    Changes in ctDNA will be correlated with the clinical outcomes of PFS and disease control rate (DCR).

    Time frame: At baseline, cycle 2 day 1, and end of treatment

Other outcomes

  1. Biomarkers associated with response

    Multiplex imaging will be utilized. Biomarker analysis will be primarily descriptive and therefore not specifically powered. The main comparisons will be between the level of the biomarker among patients who had a tumor response to treatment (responders as determined with RECIST v1.1), and those who did not have a tumor response. For categorical biomarkers, the data will be summarized with contingency tables, and the association between the biomarker status and response status will be evaluated using a Fisher's exact test.

    Time frame: At baseline, cycle 1 day 14-21, and end of treatment

  2. Pathogenic fusion protein

    Will look for the sarcoma specific fusion protein in circulating blood and measure changes in ctDNA levels in response to treatment.

    Time frame: At baseline, cycle 2 day 1, and end of treatment

  3. DCR and tumor volume

    DCR will be correlated with reduction in tumor volume.

    Time frame: Up to 30 days post-treatment
