CMP-001 in Combination With Nivolumab in Subjects With Advanced Melanoma

A Multicenter, Open-label, Phase 2 Study of Intratumoral CMP-001 in Combination With Intravenous Nivolumab in Subjects With Refractory Unresectable or Metastatic Melanoma

CMP-001-010 is a Phase 2 study of CMP-001 intratumoral (IT) and nivolumab intravenous (IV) administered to participants with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The primary objective of the study is to determine confirmed objective response with CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. The secondary objectives are to: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CMP-001 administered by intratumoral (IT) injection in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. To evaluate the efficacy of CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. To assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma. To assess and describe the immunogenicity of CMP-001 in combination with nivolumab in subjects with refractory unresectable or metastatic melanoma.

All enrolled subjects will receive CMP-001 IT and nivolumab IV according to the treatment schedule until a reason for treatment discontinuation is reached.

Subjects will receive CMP-001 10 mg IT weekly for 7 doses after which CMP-001 will be administered every 3 weeks (Q3W).
