Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Rate and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events ≥ grade 3 attributed to study drug using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v.4.03) (Scale 1 to 5)
The primary objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of single and multiple intratumoral doses of INT230-6 in subjects with advanced or recurrent malignancies. This will be assessed by the rate of ≥ grade 3 AE's attributed to INT230-6 and not the underlying disease. All recorded adverse events will be listed and tabulated by system organ class, preferred term, and dose and coded according to the most current version of MedDRA. The incidence of adverse events will be tabulated and reviewed for potential significance and clinical importance. Adverse Events will be summarized for all reported data and by study period: a) up to and including 28 days post last dose of initial treatment, and b) from first dose of re-initiation of treatment, for subjects who re-initiate study therapy while in follow-up, up to 28 days post-dose of the last re-treatment dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Preliminary Efficacy: Control or Regression of Injected Tumors by Measurement of Length, Width and Height (in centimeters) Radio-graphically Using Computer Tomography or Magnetic Resonance Imaging to Calculate Tumor Volumes (cubic centimeters) Over Time.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This study evaluates the intratumoral administration of escalating doses of a novel, experimental drug, INT230-6. The study is being conducted in patients with several types of refractory cancers including those at the surface of the skin (breast, squamous cell, head and neck) and tumors within the body such (pancreatic, colon, liver, lung, etc.). Sponsor also plans to test INT230-6 in combination with anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 antibodies.
Detailed Description
INT230-6 is comprised of a 3 agents in a fixed ratio - a cell permeation enhancer and two, potent anti-cancer payloads (cisplatin and vinblastine sulfate). The penetration enhancer facilitates dispersion of the two drugs throughout injected tumors and enables increased diffusion into cancer cells. (Nonclinical safety studies showed no findings following drug injection into healthy tissues.) Historically physicians administer the two active drugs comprising INT230-6 by intravenous (IV) infusion to achieve a systemic blood level at the limit of tolerability. The objective is destroy both visible tumors and unseen circulating cancer cells (micro-metastases). Unfortunately, dosing drugs IV delivers only a small amount with a low concentration at the tumor site. This approach especially for late stage cancers is not highly effective and often quite toxic to the patient. Attempts at direct intratumoral injection with chemotherapeutic agents have not shown the ability to treat the injected tumor, non-injected tumors or micro-metastases. This lack of efficacy for local administration is due possibly to poor dispersion and a lack of cell uptake of the agents. Due to the use of the novel cell penetration enhancing agent INT230-6 treatment demonstrates strong efficacy in animals having large tumors. The Sponsor's in vivo, non-clinical data shows that INT230-6 thoroughly saturates and kills injected tumors. In addition, the drug induces an adaptive (T-cell mediated) immune response that attacks not only the injected tumor, but non-injected tumors and unseen micro-metastases. Cured animals become permanently immunized against the type of cancer that INT230-6 eliminates. Clinical trial IT-01 seeks to determine the safety and potential efficacy of dosing INT230-6 directly into several different types of cancers. In addition animal studies showed a strong synergy of INT230-6 with immune modulation agents. Thus as part of study IT-01 the Sponsor seeks to understand the safety and efficacy of INT230-6 when administered in combination with immuno-therapeutic agents such as antibodies that target Programmed Cell Death (PD-1 or anti-PD-1) and Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Associated Protein 4 (CTLA-4 or anti-CTLA-4) receptors. This study seeks to understand whether tumor regression can be achieved and patient outcomes improved.

Sequential Assignment
Model Description
There were 6 cohorts in the escalation portion of the protocol. Five dosed INT230-6 alone and one was combined with pembrolizumab. Cohorts A and B1 treated superficial tumors at a 1:4 ratio of drug to tumor with a low tumor load once per month. Cohort EA was similar to cohort A with INT230-6 every 2 weeks. Cohort EC escalated the total and maximal dose per any one tumor to a ratio of 1:2 & dosed every two weeks. Cohort EC2 explored a drug load ratio of 1:3 and escalated the dose per tumor further. Cohort DEC combined INT230-6 with a fixed amount of pembrolizumab. On-going, non-escalation cohorts include 1) monotherapy INT230-6 cohort (EC3) dosed every two weeks 2) INT230-6 in a combination with pembrolizumab (DEC2) and 3) INT230-6 in combination with ipilimumab (FEC). Other specific regimens or combinations of INT230-6 may be designated by the Study Steering Committee.

Note: ALT (SGPT) =alanine aminotransferase (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase); AST (SGOT) =aspartate aminotransferase (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase); ULN=upper limit of normal. 1 Criteria must be met without erythropoietin dependency and without packed red blood cell (pRBC) transfusion within last 2 weeks. Additional criteria for combination arms can be found in the appropriate combination protocol supplements. Refer to the Investigative site for details. Additional Inclusion Criteria for DEC2 cohort (anti-PD1 combination, Keytruda (pembrolizumab)) Population: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic Pancreatic, Cholangiocarcinoma, non-MSI-H and/or MMR proficient colorectal cancer, and Squamous Cell Carcinoma tumors. Additional Inclusion Criteria for FEC cohort (anti-CTLA-4 combination, Yervoy (ipilimumab)) Population: Subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed advanced or metastatic Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), breast cancer regardless of histology (BC) or soft tissue sarcoma NOTE: DEC and FEC combination cohorts have additional Inclusion Criteria - refer to the Investigative site for details. Exclusion Criteria: For INT230-6 Monotherapy cohort EC3, cohort DEC2-Keytruda combination and cohort FEC-Yervoy combination Subjects who exhibit any of the following conditions at screening will not be eligible for admission into the study: History of severe hypersensitivity reactions to cisplatin or vinblastine or other products of the same class. Other prior malignancy, except for adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer or superficial bladder cancer, or any other cancer from which the subject has been disease-free for at least 2 years. Subjects with tumors >15 cm (in longest diameter). Treatment plan for subjects with tumors that are 9 to15 cm must be discussed with and approved by the medical monitor. Underlying medical condition that, in the Principal Investigator's opinion, will make the administration of study drug hazardous or obscure the interpretation of toxicity determination or adverse events. Concurrent medical condition requiring the use of immunosuppressive medications, or systemic corticosteroids (topical steroids are permitted); systemic corticosteroids must be discontinued at least 4 weeks prior to dosing. Inhaled or intranasal corticosteroids (with minimal systemic absorption) may be continued if the subject is on a stable dose. Non-absorbed intra-articular steroid injections will be permitted; or use of other investigational drugs (drugs not marketed for any indication) within 30 days prior to study drug administration. Use of steroids as prophylactic treatment for subjects with contrast allergies to diagnostic imaging contrast dyes will be permitted. For deep tumor cohorts, subjects who require uninterrupted anticoagulants of any type, on daily aspirin therapy or NSAIAs. Use of other investigational drugs (drugs not marketed for any indication) within 28 days prior to study drug administration. Pregnancy Exclusion: A WOCBP who has a positive urine pregnancy test (e.g., within 72 hours) prior to treatment. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required NOTE: DEC or FEC combination cohorts have additional Exclusion criteria.
