Study of the Combination of Anti-OX40 and Ipilimumab in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

Phase 1/2 Study of the Combination of a Mouse Monoclonal Antibody to OX40 and Ipilimumab in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma

This is an open label, two-phase study combining a dose escalation Phase 1 with a proof-of-concept Phase 2 in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanoma, for whom treatment with ipilimumab is indicated.

The purpose of the Phase 1 is to determine the Anti-OX40 Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and the secondary objectives are anti-OX40 pharmacokinetics, biological activity and the tumor response assessed by the Immune-related Response Criteria.

The purpose of Phase 2 is to determine tumor response (by irRC) and the secondary objectives are anti-OX40 pharmacokinetics, biological activity and Safety/Tolerability.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Determine Anti-OX40 serum concentrations	The serum concentration of Anti-OX40 (CD134) will be determined from its binding to OX40 as measured by ELISA	Baseline, on days 1, 3 & 5 30 minutes after Anti-OX40 end of infusion, and on days 8 and 15
Assess the biological activity of anti-OX40 in combination with ipilimumab	The biological activity of anti-OX40 in combination with ipilimumab will be assessed by: Determining immunologic changes in the tumor microenvironment by characterization of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs), assessment of antigen-specific T cell responses and immunohistochemical (IHC) characterization of tumor and peri-tumoral tissue; Characterizing circulating T-cell subsets by flow cytometry; Assessing antigen specific immune responses by ELISA; Characterizing surface markers on lymphocytes and peripheral blood cells by flow cytometry; Measuring serum level of soluble factors (cytokine profiling); mRNA/miRNA profiling to analyse gene transcription and/or miRNA expression	Baseline, Day1, day 3, day 5 day8, day 15, day 22 day 43, day 64, day 85 & 113
